Former secretary says she didn't type memos 04:10 PM CDT on Tuesday, September 14, 2004
By PETE SLOVER / The Dallas Morning News
HOUSTON – The former secretary for the Texas Air National Guard colonel who supposedly authored memos critical of President Bush’s Guard service said Tuesday that the documents are fake, but that they reflect real documents that once existed.
Marian Carr Knox, who worked from 1956 to 1979 at Ellington Air Force Base in Houston, said she prided herself on meticulous typing, and the memos first disclosed by CBS News last week were not her work.
“These are not real,” she told The Dallas Morning News after examining copies of the disputed memos for the first time. “They’re not what I typed, and I would have typed them for him.”
Mrs. Knox, 86, who spoke with precise recollection about dates, people and events, said she is not a supporter of Mr. Bush, who she deemed “unfit for office” and “selected, not elected.”
“I remember very vividly when Bush was there and all the yak-yak that was going on about it,” she said.

Don't tease us.
Game, Set, Match
Well, this ought to give some fodder to the Dems.
Mrs. Knox, 86, who spoke with precise recollection about dates, people and events, said she is not a supporter of Mr. Bush, who she deemed “unfit for office” and “selected, not elected.”
And of course this partisan display won't be covered elsewhere.
This is good - she's spewing DNC talking points, but denying the authenticity of the documents.
Is she a Republican mole too?
I wonder what model of typewriter she used? Parley
Fascinating... this Bush hating secretary says she did all of Killian's typing, but never typed these memos, or anything relating to their subject matter - but maintains that such memos did exist at one time.
I expect this will be the new Rat spin. Too late.
You can't deduce (anything wrong with Bush's service)
Darn it.....what does the rest of the article say???
Another one of the DNC's own people turns on them!
Better make sure it's not that evil genius Rove in drag.
Good catch!
But, no pit bulls??
Her agenda is pretty obvious.
This is risable.
I would like to see the transcript and see if they are twisting her words at all to make the claim that such documents "did exist". The fact they did not quote her making that statement makes me question what she really said that they characterized the way they did.
