This part is pure balony.
From what I have read, her responses are full of DNC talking point words and phrases.
She probably would not know the truth if it bit her on the hind end. Also, I bet that she would not recognize President Bush if he walked up to her.
This sounds just like the story that the dnc came up with after the '00 election.
About the senior citizens that did not know how to follow the arrows on a ballot but can keep up with 25 bingo cards during a bingo game.
The dnc and mainstream medis also forgot to mention that the ballot was designed by a democrat and a sample ballot was mailed to each voter weeks before the election so that the voters could familiarize themselves with the ballot.
In this day and age, people can count on but a few things.
But one thing you can count on is: This lady was better coached on what to say and how to word it than a professional athlete.
The TANG angle from the dumbocrats is a non-starter for voters. They have seen W as CIC and have no doubt that he is up to the job. In political campaigns, military service is always cited as a capability of leadership. Discussing service in that regard is a political discussion.
That really isn't what the CBS issue is about.
The CBS situation is a media issue. It is, in fact, a significant battle between the "old media" vs. "new media". This is a battle that has a great influence on politics, due to the unmitigated bias that we see each day.
The secretary can make commentary about Bush all she wants, that isn't going to have any effect on Bush.
BUT, the key here is that it is yet another nail in the quickly constructed CBS/Dan Rather coffin. It is important that we expose CBS for the frauds that they are.
We FREERERs have served notice: be fair or pay the consequence. And, this not only has a direct effect on CBS, but it will have an ancillary effect on the other media outlets (ABC, NBC, etc.).
While I am partial to the internet medium, Free Republic isn't necessarily going to replace the "old media", but it can drastically change how they operate. Free Repulic, and more generally the "blogosphere", will force the "old media" do actually do the job that it hasn't done for years. The "media wing of the democrat party" has covered for the leftists for years. Any legitimate reporting (showing the real agenda of the left) means that the left is done, as the American people utterly reject leftist dogma.
The issue is bigger than some old lady making comments about the current CIC. And, besides, Killian's son politely dismissed the old lady's anti-Bush comments.
