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.

It's a turd Dan.

Hey Dan, after you put that thing away, I think I see something you need to wipe from your face. You don't need to wash your hands, just reach up and brush it off.

Excellent catch on the timing. I hadn't thought of that, and ignorantly assumed that the timing was "coincidental." Of course, I should know NOTHING in politics is "coincidental."

Rush did an excellent job of showing how CBS cannot back off this story now. They might have Friday, but now are lashed to it like a sinking ship, because the only result of an "investigation" will be to link a Kerry operative to the memo, and we are no longer talking election loss, but a monstrous landslide.

I watched all of Brit's show this evening and thought they did a pretty good job examining the evidence pointing to forgery...but I was disappointed that no one tackled the obvious questions of who produced the documents and what role the DNC and the Kerry campaign had in either producing them or forwarding them to CBS.

I wonder if the strategy now isn't to talk the question of fake or genuine to death so that people want to "move on" without inquiring where the documents originated.
