Outta the park!

As always!
I love this guy's writing.

[ABG(anybody but Gore)]

Only Steyn and Ann Coulter can put it in such great perspective.

[Stentor]

The only thing he missed were posts 107 and 47.

[publius1]

Steyn is always good, but that last line--"''Exclusive! Handwriting Expert Says Bush Wrote The Hitler Diaries!''" -- is perfect!

[jporcus]

Great article. The only thing missing was what I heard a guest on Scarborough Country say tonight: "Dan Rather is the 'Jason Blair' of CBS". Unfortunately, this is an insult to Jason Blair.

[marty60]

what Thomas Oliphant's ''basic standards'' are

Yes, he proudly talks about how he PERSONALLY escourted Skerry to the 1971 Senate lie (I mean testimony). Makes you wonder if HE wrote skeey's testimony for him doesn't it.

[rhema]

George W. Bush ought to wake up every morning and thank the Lord the media aren't on his side.

Outta the park, indeed!

Unfortunately for CBS, Dan Rather's hairdresser sucks up so much of the budget that there was nothing left for any fact-checking, so the ''60 Minutes'' crew rushed on air with a damning National Guard memo conveniently called ''CYA'' that Bush's commanding officer had written to himself 32 years ago. ''This was too hot not to push,'' one producer told the American Spectator. Hundreds of living Swiftvets who've signed affidavits and are prepared to testify on camera -- that's way too cold to push; we'd want to fact-check that one thoroughly, till, say, midway through John Kerry's second term. But a handful of memos by one dead guy slipped to us by a Kerry campaign operative -- that meets ''basic standards'' and we gotta get it out there right away.

Bam!

"Unfortunately for CBS, Dan Rather's hairdresser sucks up so much of the budget that there was nothing left for any fact-checking,"

LOL!

[TomGuy]

The spin will be:

Rather--'I stick by my guns; the documents are not fake; they are real; but if they are fake, Karl Rove planted them.'

[2nd Bn, 11th Mar]

Outta the park and jumpin' the shark!

Semper Fi,

[libertylover]

Rather should show us the typewriter capable of producing the memo or appologize. He'll do neither.

[hershey]

Just when you think he can't possibly outdo himself, he does. God bless Steyn.

[billhilly]

It seems the only questions remaining are; Who forged the documents, and how CBS got them?

[igoramus987]

CBS and Dan Rather's is using handwriting expert Marcel Matley to stall for time. c.f. link posted by Dog .

Marcel Matley has even written an article about stalling for the time. The second line of Matley's article is... "How to hold off your opponent until the cavalry arrives" and in the last paragraph... "At least with the above you will have hopefully survived the day..."

[sirchtruth]

George W. Bush failed to show up for his physical in the War of 1812.

ROTFLMAO! Steyn is just so naturaly witty.

[Dante3]

Interesting.

[kb2614]

Nooooo!!! CBSNBCABCPBS are all impartial!!!! How dare you question there integrity!!! They are pure and holy!!!

(sarcasm notice!)


I just love watching the MSM implode! It's so much fun!!!

[samtheman]

It took the savvy chappies at the Powerline Web site and Charles Johnson of ''Little Green Footballs'' about 20 minutes to spot the eerily 2004 look of the 1972 memo, and various Internet wallahs spent the rest of the day tracking down the country's leading typewriter identification experts.

Great site: Little Green Footballs

The media and the Democrats sustain each other's make-believe land.

Oh, so very true!
