Hannity just said a story will be filed later today that from sources inside CBS that the source of the documents is also the one who provided the Abu Grihab prison photos.

If they discuss on the evening news, they might just get the highest ratings they have seen in a long time.

The plot thickens quicker than Teddy Kennedy's waistline.

Oh yes!!!

[Blood of Tyrants]

Okay, I am going to show my ignorance once again. Who is Mary Mapes?

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the ping!

[Republic Rocker]

Damn my MSWORDIBMSELECTMAC is on CrAsH MoDe !!!

CBS News states with absolute certainty that the ability to produce the "th" superscript mentioned in reports about the documents did exist on typewriters as early as 1968...

I have said all along that this is not an issue. But let them try to roproduce the document with all the typesetting features...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I stand corrected. Again. LOL ; )

[Oberon]

(That's a meddafer. You know what a meddafer is?)

No. What's a meddafer you?

[cwiz24]

I just threw up a little.

[Cboldt]

Mapes is not necessarily source, but conduit between source and CBS broadcasting.

I think I"m having a politicalorgasm!

It don't get no bettah than this!!!!!!

Would a guy who doesn't type really go through this procedure of centering when typing a memo to himself?

If that is the case, then why can't I get my husband to put the socks in the hamper instead of next to it?

[rushmom]

Why am I scared?

Dana Roberson and Mary Mapes were the producers who had the Abu Grab story for CBS. Mary Mapes works out of Dallas.

See this side story, or google cbs producer dallas

If it came from a CBS producer in Dallas that was connected to the Abu Grab story, it was likely Mary Mapes

[gilliam]

I just threw up a little.

Yea, people really should warn us of impending shocks like that.

[workerbee]

Arrrghhhhh!!!! My eyes, my eyes!

[Go Gordon]

This has Clinton's finger prints all over them.

Here's what you do: 1. Type the lines of the heading you want centered on a separate sheet. Since this is usually going to go at the top of the page, you can do it before beginning to type your document. 2.Measure the width of each line to be centered, and note it. 3. Make a light pencil mark at the center of your paper, then roll the paper through. Center the mark at the "V" in the shield that covers the platen. 4. Move the carriage half the distance of the first line's measurement to the left, and begin typing. Repeat for other centered lines. Typists did this all the time. I know I did. But...you wouldn't go to the trouble for a casual memo.

Sure, I did that too. But the problem is, it's PERFECT! We're talking right down to the fraction of a space. It has to be within .020 or .030 of an inch for the letters to match up as perfectly as they do. No way can somebody be that perfect on three different lines.

And the odds that the entire page perfectly matches MS Word default spacing, word wrap, type face, all the rest. No way.

Wow, talk about the best of both worlds. McAuliff admits the memos are fakes, but blames them on a Carl Rove conspiracy. Now this comes comes along and kicks the legs from under McAuliff's conspiracy theory.

So what do we have? Fake docs, no conspiracy. I score it 2-0, Pubbies.

Despite the obvious support for this kind of nonsense, CBS will not fire the people involved. I think this is a coverup for Dan Blather.
