"No... [*sigh*]... I guess that's enough KoolAid for me right now, thanks..." :)
Wow, if Mara conceded they were fakes, that's something. But will she ask the obvious question, "What did Dan Rather know and when did he know it?" Unlikely - the "what did he know and when did he know it" question is only asked of conservatives and Republicans.
Only See-BS is still claiming the papers are true.
Rather reminds me of Nixon in the summer of 1974. He was in denial as well.
Okay. Now how do we get this out in the MSM? There must be someone who is unbiased in the MSM that will help. If this situation were reversed, think of the way the media would be handling it. If the Bush camp was suspected of wrong doing with any forged documents, can you imagine?!
Actually it wasn't a former Texas governor, but was the overconfident Republican candidate running for governor in 1990. He made the unfortunate mistake of inviting a bunch of the press to a campfire dinner and then telling the joke comparing the weather to rape. This of course was immediately spread all over the news, and was part of what sunk his campaign. The other thing was publicly refusing to shake hands with Ma Richards at the beginning of a debate.
Darn! Of all days to get home late.
Thanks for the update.
CBS has to defend them. If they admit they were fakes the story moves to "Where did you get them from?" If they give up the loser who gave them to them they will be admitting they got them from a Kerry/DNC shill. And then it will be obvious that they work working with the Kerry campaign to time the release of these memos to come out just a week before the Kerry campaign ran the BS story about Bush claiming to be in the A.F. in an old campaign brochure. (he was active A.F. for pilot training).
The Kerry campaign was trying to pull a SBVT on Bush, first with the memo then with the brochure thing a week later. Get Bush on the defensive.
The Reason CBS was happy to not do due diligence on the Memo was the Kerry campaign needed it to run on time: first the memo story and then the brochure story.
And if all that is correct, and I think I am right or I wouldn't be typing this, then Rather has to defend this because it's his decision to do all the water carrying for Kerry.
He runs CBS news. Nothing like this can go over the air without his thumbs up. This was Dan the man Rather's turd and he's trying to polish it up and tell everyone it's a dinosaur egg or a meteorite or anything other than a turd the Kerry campaign/DNC handed him.
It's a turd Dan.

Brit Hume Special Report, Expert Says FORGERY! 09-13-04
FoxNews | 09-13-04 | GRRRRR
Good to hear
I'm hoping to see Brit bitch-slap O'Reilly into CNN...
"No... [*sigh*]... I guess that's enough KoolAid for me right now, thanks..." :)
"No longer are they giving serious consideration to the possibility the Bush ANG documents are not fakes."
If Juan Williams were on the show today, he would have put a whole other spin to it (he was downright combative over this subject on Fox News Sunday). Actually, Mara tends to be pretty fair about most issues, considering she, like Williams, works for NPR.
Quick, someone throw a baby stroller on the rubble of CBS's credibility...
Well, watching Mara eat a little crow may not be as satisfying as watching Elenor Clift admit that there IS a dress in Ms. Lewinsky's wardrobe with Slick Willie's DNA spattered all over it, but it's close.
I want to se more stories about the forged documents on all the news stations and less stories on that Scott Peterson jerk!
so Juan Williams was not there today? do you think after his temper tantrum last week, they put him in a time out?
Fred Barnes looked and sounded seriously peeved tonight. He kept cutting off poor Mort.
There were some good points made about sKerry's inability to provide any coherent plan for Iraq or N. Korea.
it's time to FREEP IBM!!! let them know you want THEM to clear up this mess and will hold them ACCOUNTABLE if they don't by never buying anything from IBM ever again!!! goto IBM.com and ust Contact Us at the bottom of the page.
No Juan? Poor baby, must have called in sick. Quite a stressful time for him. First the Swiftees, now this.
(Actually, he seems like a nice guy, just a little over-emotional on this one)
Dan was not had and he is not in denial. He is more than old enough to remember what old typewriter print looks like and he was in an ideal profession to be exposed to PLENTY of it.
There's NO WAY he could have looked at these memos and not had his suspicion aroused. He is just flat-out lying and has been from the beginning.
So far as the MSM are concerned, up to now the forged documents have been the elephant in the room. Maybe by being the first to break the media's code of silence, Hume will have opened the floodgates so that others will start calling them what they really are - out and out forgeries.
