Even if everything in the memos were true, I still don't see anything that would be fatal or even damaging to Bush. Nothing makes him a liar and there isn't anything that can't be explained. Certainly, it gave the Lib's something to rant about, but that's about it.
That's true, but the Democrats aren't envisioning these documents as the final blow that does Bush in. These are just the "setup" documents, which they will spin to raise doubts about Bush's integrity and truthfulness, etc. Once that have instilled doubt, they then unleash a veritable mountain of unverifiable accusations against him, and he suffers the death of a thousand cuts.
They don't need to burn Bush, they only need to make lots of smoke, because the average voter thinks that lots of smoke = fire.
"Even if everything in the memos were true, I still don't see anything that would be fatal or even damaging to Bush"
That was my reaction exactly. These memos to self are totally innocuous.
Then I heard that Rangel was FABRICATING a tie between the "missed physical" and DRUG USE!
That was likely why they wanted the memos "discovered."
A plant of a missed physical. Implied "Direct order disobeyed". Must have been a serious reason for him to disobey a direct order . . .
IOW SICK beyond my imagining. Total spin. ASSIGN a reason for an innocuous missed physical to assassinate a man's character.
So that's all it is...Lib rant, smoke and mirrors. CBS as a network needs to dissappear (and DU-Dan needs to be feeding pigeons at Ft. Marcy Park) for any of the lamestream media to regain credibility.
