Here's the slightly naughty animated version

On September 10, 2004, Dan Rather declared war on the internet. He shouldn't have because it's a battle he is destined to lose. Addressing only a small part of the hundreds of criticisms that web-based critics and assorted typewriter, font, and military experts have lodged against his report, Rather and his CBS colleagues seem to have a masochistic desire for punishment. Our latest updates on the Memogate controversy are posted below. For our 21-point rebuttal to Rather's Sept. 10 salvo, click here.
The unraveling continues. Two of the three people cited on-camera by CBS News as vouching for its conclusion that Jerry Killian--the former Air National Guard commanding officer of George W. Bush--authored incriminating memoranda about the future president have, in subsequent interviews with other media organizations, tempered their support for CBS.
Robert Strong, who served with Killian as an officer tells the New York Times that he does not believe that his former associate used a proportional font typewriter during his time in the Texas guard.
"Mr. Strong said in an interview Friday he was quite sure that he and others used Selectrics in the adjutant general's office. He added that he was not sure the typewriters and devices were also in the 147th Combat Support Squadron at the Ellington base in Houston, home of the 111th squadron.
"'I'm skeptical that Killian was working on that,' Mr. Strong said."
Strong's comments come on the heels of a statement from Marcel Matley, a writing analyst whom CBS presented as having certified its four documents. Interviewed by the Los Angeles Times, however, Matley said that he only vouched for one to the network.
What are you doing sending her down there???? Have you lost your mind????? How many newbies have gone there never to be heard from again? For crying out loud what if Darksheare gets a hold of her? She'll get her beeber stunned for sure. What if Kangaroo Jacqui is down there and gets a hold of her? We'll have another Goth lurking amoungst the threads. She's only a kid man!!! Think of the ramifications!!
Along with the one titled "CYA". Yes, I think I will title a cya memo with CYA just so every moron knows it's a cya memo.
Welcome to FR.
Welcome to FR.
At every office I worked in, I'd create a local folder on my PC called 'Private' and inside was one text file that read "You don't really think I was dumb enough to put my private stuff on a work PC in a folder called 'Private,'" did you?"
So I know what you mean!

Because there are no originals excepting the Masters which have since been deleted and destroyed on an unknown computer!!!!!!!!!!!! End of story!
That's good to know, since it really looked 'made up!'
LOL!!!! She'll have to learn
Exactly. And this is the question the other MSM will be demanding Rather answer next week. He won't be able to give his sources, and his own CBS colleagues will force him to resign. That, or the entire CBS News dept. will be destroyed, and his colleagues are not going to go down on the Titanic with Rather.
Make that 2o years at least.
Exactly. A Selectric could have made a very good-looking document, but it would *not* have the same metrics as one from MS Word. Not ever.
Meek, have you seen this?
Lest we forget this IS the network that tried to rewrite history with Bab's husband in the Reagan "hit piece" while he was on his death bed. They reap what they sow. LOL.
Bring on Estrich's fear and smear... Who's up? Kitty Kelly and NBC?
Check out Rush's Final Days of Elite Media Empire from yesterday if you missed it. 18 minutes of infamy.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
Just curious, though...was that Microsoft Relations 3.0, 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, or 2003? And was it one of the Service Packs?
Or, perhaps the most explainable explanation..."he did it because he could"?
Or, would that depend upon what the definition of "could" is?
