Their best bet is to have Dan Rather apologize to President Bush tomorrow. The longer they draw it out the worse it will be.

and Dan needs to wear a turkey suit during the apology also

Burden now on CBS to authenticate its documents, lest it become a co-conspirator in fraud

Become?????

the appearance of the documents matches the appearance of other documents created at the same place and time.

Well, of course! That was the idea! They APPEAR to be the same. But the details regarding the fonts, spacing, sperscript, etc., give the lie to the "appearance."

[KellyAdmirer]

and (c) the appearance of the documents matches the appearance of other documents created at the same place and time.

Yeah, that's a real good way to authenticate documents. They look ok to us! Let's go with them!

[I still care]

Wouldn't it be lovely if not only they turned out to be fraudulent, but where they come from is found out?

Now just WHERE could those false docs smearing Bush have come from?

[Brilliant]

If the DNC is behind this, Kerry is toast.

"other documents created at the same place and time." That suggests that CBS has other forgeries in its possession. The "shell-shocked" (per Drudge report) Dan Rather is in deep do-do.

[John Jorsett]

What that quote neglected to mention is that "the same place and time" the other documents were created is George Soro's secretary's office, early September 2004.

RatherGate!

[orangelobster]

Yeah, that is the next big question - Where did the documents come from. Sandy Berger's pants? Ketchup stains on the documents? Gordon Liddy moonlighting? Pelicanos working for the Clinton's again? Are Joe Wilson and his wife thinking about who will play them in the movie?

The tabloids will play this for a long time.

I just think it's so amazing that the new media is forcing the OLD media to work harder now. First the Swiftees, now Rather-gate. Neither story would ever have appeared in the MSM if not for blogs, Fox News and Free Republic!!!

A new day is dawning, and on that day, Dan Rather is unemployed (wearing a turkey suit?)

[bin2baghdad]

CBS needs to get some of them CSI (Thursdays, CBS, 9:00 pm Eastern) investigators to look at the memos. I bet they could tell what kind of typewriter produced them.

[John_7Diamonds]

Well, CBS's strategy is clear. They are going to blame whoever gave them the documents. They are going to play the victim. They have no choice. Firing Dan Rather would be like the Catholic Church firing the Pope.

Those presstitutes, they does all look alike to me.

[FR_addict]

"In addition, people who knew Killian well have confirmed that the memos are genuine."

I don't think the people who knew Killian were closer to him than his widow and son and they say the memos are fake.

CBS is just throwing out stuff to cover up their incredibly stupid story.
