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

You're getting a little ahead of the curve here. That part of the story needs some time to build. If Rather starts blaming the "Bush's brain" to quickly the story can't get any legs.

I think you are 100% correct, in the end the DNC will plant a story the "DNC operatives" were really men from Texas who meet Rove at a BBQ twenty plus years ago, so obviously they did it to embrass Rather and CBS over the Kitty Kelly book.

Ellen 'ranting' Ratner was just on Fox and Friends and basically said that. She said the 'content' of the documents are true, even if the documents themselves are faked.

That must be the morning DNC talkingpoint for today.
