CBS/AP) Questions are being raised about the authenticity of newly unearthed memos that say President Bush's National Guard commander believed Mr. Bush was shirking his duties.
The memos, which were obtained by CBS News' 60 Minutes, say Mr. Bush ignored a direct order from a superior officer and lost his status as a Guard pilot because he failed to meet military performance standards and undergo a required physical exam.

BWAAAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I'll bet it was so much fun for the CBS people to post this on their very own website. :)
Hey Dan, PUT SOME ICE ON THAT!
They have just proven that C-BS is in collusion with the evil dums. They recycled the lies as fact.
There is also word out that the Colonels' wife has said her husband DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO TYPE, and hand wrote all his memos.
I called CBS after hearing that a$$hole blather say this live. I left a voicemail tirade Freepers would love! Screw CBS. I am writing every advertiser they have!!! Boycott baby!!! Oh yea!!!
LLS
CBS....The CONFABULATING Broadcasting Service!!
LMAO!
2 flame outs in one broadcast for ole Danny Boy. The Guard files were frauds AND Ben Barnes was LYING... according to his own daughter! Not bad for one show...
Shame on CBS!

I told CBS that they were now endangering the entire networks good name by their statement in this story and what they were doing was truly strange in light of all of the information that has come to light about the high probability that this is a forgery.
Likewise on the Ben Barnes charge, the story conveniently ignores the fact that Barnes was in Europe when Budh joined the Texas Guard, nor that Barne's daughter quotes him as saying in a phone call that he was willing to lie in order to hurt Bush and help Kerry.
CBS has by no means come clean in this article. All it has done is laid the groundwork for coming clean, if the backlash forces it to do that.

Um, as of yesterday, weren't they claiming Barnes held some other office at the time that he got Bush into the NG? Lt. Gov. maybe? An office that he didn't hold until a year after Bush signed up. Somebody refresh my memory on this.
Rush just said that Rather was on the news standing by the documents.
RATHER DOES NOT KNOW TO QUIT WHEN HE IS BEHIND.
Ah, family life among the Democrats! Lie in front of your kids, who then squeal on you to the media.
Please see my post #14. I think you can fill me on the details.
CBS should jump on this story. (Retract if necessary.) Then the story "How I Got Hoaxed and Fell For It" by Dan Rather would get really high ratings. I suppose the store of the supposed forgery is much more interesting than the supposed contents of the supposed memos were supposed to be. (A truly supository sentence.)
CBS researches should have asked themselves if the memos were real, why weren't they used in 1992 when they could have been more effective. I think CBS wanted a scoop and just fell right over.
Somebosy should tell this to Bagdad Bob, uh, I mean Denial Dan. He's out there today saying he's standing behind the forged documents. This couldn't get any more funny.
That fits with the times. I took a typing class in high school in 1964 and it was overwhelmingly female. I only remember a couple of guys taking the course. The thinking back then was that secretaries, not bosses, did the typing.
