Having Rather be axed by CBS is probably the best way at present to take Kerry's anti-GWB ANG talking points away from him so as to help GWB win a second term. There is much justification for doing this and little possibility of Republicans being regarded as being partisan for demanding that Rather get pink slipped by CBS.
The phone is not picking up right now. Keep hammering the phone number.
Mrs. Rather is a tad touchy this evening.
That was no woman you spoke with. That was Dan Rather, screeching in a high-pitched, yellow-belly voice. Then he exploded.
What was that? A wonderful wife? Loving parents? Beautiful daughters? The love and respect of millions of Americans? The renewed loyalty and admiration of a nation's military?
What could she be talking about?
Hmmm... a FReep of 'ol SeeBS on 57th Street?
We need to call their sponsors...that will make more impact.
The poor woman probably hasn't had a potty break since 9 o'clock this morning. Of course she's cranky!
pinging! (FYI)
Yeah, Bankrobbers who find themselves surround as they leave the bank have the same short temper.
If this is a forgery, I'm sure it's another in a long line of Karl Rove's stunts. But it's not a forgery. Come on, CBS vetted it with experts, of which there must be many. On the other hand, the detractors are all right-wing bloggers. (Who you know will attack anything that knocks bush.)
My only question Is how thoroughly did CBS review these documents? How many experts did they show these documents to before going on with the story? What were their background and area of expertise?
CBS is a creditable news source. They didn't get that way by being stupid. These docs were probably gone over with a fine tooth comb until they were sure it didn't have any nits.
what document? it doesn't matter. the guy's a deserter who kills for fun he is doomed to failure I don't care if they say it was hand-typed by Rove and given to Rather by Andrew Card dressed as Huggy Bear.
So Rove gave them to CBS? Is CBS that gullible?
There are real docs that the Whitehouse had and they created forgery forms of these docs and passed them off to discredit the real ones if they ever surfaced. It mucks it up enough that if real versions surfaced, noone would ever believe it - the "forgery" meme is planted.
I agree - its a fraud Walt has showed two other era documents "as proof" that have the superscripted "th" and none of them even closely resemble the document 60 mins had - they fell for it hook line and sinker. They look completely different in the way it was done. If I knew how to PSP them side by side I would but I am looking at them now and this 60 mins thing was a fraud and Rove is ROFL at them.
Oh, please. Like a bunch of amateurs on the Internet would be able to figure out something that CBS News stuck its neck out over and never thought to investigate. Riiight.
Yikes. I started out thinking this was a Rove plant, after reading http://www.warblogging.com / - then I was convinced it wasn't. I've been crazy all day about this thing. Now I'm back where I started. I need to be sedated.
What's with all you paranoid people? Get a grip!!! This is exactly what goo defence attorneys do...CREATE DOUBT!!!! There's absolutely no reason to think these doxs are forgeries! NONE!!!
Document is forgery -- this can become the basis of an allegation that the whitehouse continues to deceive the public by lying to us, sometimes in very clever ways.
CBS has to have something to substantiate the authenticity of the memos. If it doesn't, it has cost itself any credibility it had. Obviously, this wouldn't be good for a it's news division. CBS' story had to be thoroughly vetted!
Oh good GOD! Stop and think for a moment...IF it were discovered that they were a forgery then the media would HOT after the story of who did it and why. The blowback from that would be bigger than the actual story.
What crap. The issue is are they believable? Hell yes. And what the f*ck does a wife or son for that matter really know about husband/dad. Well sh*t, let's ask Hillary. What's really Rovian is to suggest the documents are fake. Chimp has been an underachiever his whole goddamn life, much to our pain, so why would they NOT be authentic?
WTF .... Phone her supervisor and complain!
Have we found our forger??
Hey Grampa - Just called the number and got transferred to another number - mailbox is FULL! (No kidding) Anyway, called back and told the gal the mailbox was full and I wanted to lodge a complaint and ask if they were going to air an apology or whatever so the gal did make a note of it and I gave her my name, city and phone number. She was very nice and I told her that I was very upset about this. She said they were getting lots of calls. KEEP CALLING FOLKS!!
These guys have to be called to task for this. It's reprehensible that with all the resources at their disposal they didn't check on the facts. But, then again, when do facts come into play with these guys - we know their game!!!
Ooops - called you grampa. Thought the post was from Grampa Dave. Sorry.
She answered me and said "she had no comment." She said she would "register my complaint."
Make sure you are nice when you call.
