You're missing the whole point.
The new DNC story line is that the very fact that it was CBS which first started talking about this automatically means the charges are serious.
No. I understand the point. But the reality is, there isn't enough "there" there to make a story with any influence. The overwhelming attitude amongst the average Americans you talk to is "ENOUGH ALREADY". They just don't care about Kerry in Vietnam or Bush in the Guard. I do. You do. But for most of America, the horse is so dead there is nothing left to kick. In the meantime, the White House says nothing more than "President Bush served honorably and received an honorable discharge". Which he did. Now matter how many documents Rather creates on his IBM PC.
As serious as lying about Christmas in Cambodia? Hmmmm...
The DNC and their spokespeople have been laughed at all day today. They are stuck on talking points that are no longer "operative".
Linda Vester's audience laughed at Micheal Meehan today when Linda asked about Teresa "idiot" comment. Meehan launched into the talking points and when the audience started laughing he was SHOCKED! The look on his face was absolutely priceless.
Tony Snow's interview with some Dim girl, don't know her name, was more of the same. She made a fool of herself.
Then, Robert Reich, who spouted the same talking points, was slammed by Hannity and Bob Bennett.
The DNC and CBS have been caught completely off guard. They have their story and are sticking to it but it ain't workin!
