You just KNOW they were toying with making a really outrageous allegation like that and trying to subtle and cool about it but as you say, gave it up in favor of the spinnable and thus more "believable".
they also figured it would be the perfect crime since Killian was no longer alive.
What utter dirtballs.
Funny how the MSM breathlessly reported allegations from the "memos" of a dead man, but angrily dismissed sworn affidavits from over 250 living SwiftVets.
Sure, some in the MSM are NOW lowering the hammer on CBS... but that comes only after the Blogosphere forced their hand... and not before days of breathlessly repeating the CBS allegations.,
