The font spacing is TrueType, a propriatary spacing invented in 1981, and different from any other system of character spacing. It is not exactly kerning and not exactly plain proportional.

They can't even say how the damn documents got into Black Rock, FGS!

It's so over.

[p. henry]

How can CBS not know how they received the documents and yet have sources that tell them that they will not receive the originals?

[Boundless]

> 7. Three words: Kerning, Kerning, Kerning!

Nope. Note kerning, but something very much like it,
and yes it screams "forgery". For tech details, see:

There are nested glyph pairs, something even an IBM
Selectric Composer could not do.

Totally and completely agree. However when fighting with the Liberals on this people should be aware the kerning is turned off by default in Word. I got hit with that one when trying to explain to a hard core Liberal this weekend.

It's hard to conceive that a group of left wing Bush haters actually conspired to take down a sitting president with fake documents.

You've got my vote for funniest tag line of the year.

[plushaye]

This is unbelievable. CBS News has lost whatever journalistic integrity they may have ever had. Same with Dan Rather.

Will they ever do a mea culpa and finger both the DNC/Kerry camp and Burkett? I doubt it. They'll sit tight and hope the whole thing blows over with the next DNC attack on Bush. How can whatever they say ever be believed again??

All the media is covering the story. Look at the media listed just in this article. I can tell you CNN, MSNBC and Fox covered this all day off and on...Also, Saffire has an article which I saw over at Lucainne about this-I'm going to post it if it hasn't been posted. It shows you the role MSM is now playing in this story....It;s late here's the link maybe someone else could post..got to be up at 0600.

"There are rumors here that if there are any real documents, they are hand-written notes from Killian that someone like Burkett was holding, and that instead of using the hand-written notes, someone typed them up to look more official," says the CBS News producer. "They would look better on TV and posted on line if they were typed, but on a number of levels, that story just doesn't hold up. There are too many inconsistencies factually with what is in the memos."

Yeah, nice try. There is a little matter about the signatures. If they were transcribed at some later date to "look more official", then the signature was forged!

"Kerry further undercut his own efforts, when he hung up his side of the call before any questions could be asked by staff members."

There really is something seriously wrong with this guy, besides the textbook narcissism.

This smacks of psychiatrically impaired judgment.

This was supposed to be a morale-boosting exercise, and he hung up on his own staff!

[ladyinred]

"All Dan could say was that this was an attack from the right-wing nuts, and that we should have expected this, given the stakes," says a CBS News producer. "He was terribly defensive and nervous. You could tell."

This is so offensive to me. He just can't stop can he? Piece of partisan dirt!

[Henchman]

"3) Turn the originals over to the FBI. This is quite possibly a criminal case." The latter is probably true, however, ain't going to happen. The Feebees wouldn't take it IMHO as it would smak of the GOP using the Feebees as a club to bash the Dems; the Feebees will say they are to busy working "terrorist" cases (or taking credit from those that do)

[nonkultur]

Let us not forget.
The CBS memos use Bush's 5000 Longmont address.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/bushdocs/11-3_2004_Personnel_File.pdf
Bush was at the 5000 Longmont address in 1968 page 1
Bush was at 2039 One Half South BLVD by 1971 page 7

They got his address at the time wrong in the memos.

Whomever forged these took the address off the first page of records.

To all Democrats reading this post, you have slap yourself or something and wake yourself up to reason. This Kerry madness is something you have to get yourself as far away from as you can. To put it simply, the ship is going down and you better get off it now or it will take you down with it.

[Talking_Mouse]

Thank you both for really expanding my technical knowledge in a way that a layman can understand. This is just one of the reason I love this site.

[nyconse]

I think Harkin might be the one also.

>MEANWHILE, OVER THE WEEKEND journalists from around the country were attempting to track down the original source of the documents. "We're having a hard time tracking how we got the documents," says the CBS News producer. "There are at least two people in this building who have insisted we got copies of these memos from the Kerry campaign by way of an additional source. We do not have the originals, and our sources have indicated to us that we will not be getting the originals. How that is possible I don't know."<


I really can't believe what I'm reading here. We don't know who are source is. And the source, even though we don't know who it is, tells us we won't be getting the originals. If they don't know who the source is, how do they know the source is saying no originals are coming. Boy, Dan Rather and company are some first class journalists alright.

They got them from the DNC. Forged documents from the DNC to smear the President. Imagine If the RNC had done this to a sitting Dem President, using Brit Hume and Fox News. In all reality, this is bigger than Watergate.
