True, that has worked in the past, and they take it for granted. But this time, the blogosphere has been added to talk radio and FOX, and they can no longer stonewall a story. The success of the Swifties has proven it.

Another factor: the old-fashioned legacy news mags are raring to sink their teeth into this story, and become relevent again (at least for a week.) This type of side-by-side forgery story is their forte. Think "Hitler Diaries" exposes. You can bet that the non-CBS news weeklies are working overtime as we type, to break this story open. And there is only one way it can break: forgery.

PS, somebody came up with a great "Sore-Loserman" type slogan:

KERRY-EDWARDS: FORGING AHEAD!
