A senior House Republican has formally requested a congressional investigation into an apparent criminal conspiracy to rig the 2004 presidential election by forging records from President Bush's National Guard service and having them reported by CBS News.
In a letter Tuesday night to Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the Subcommittee of Telecommunications and the Internet, Rep Christopher Cox, R-Calif., called for a probe into what he described as "the continued use by CBS News of apparently forged documents concerning the service record of President George W. Bush intended to unfairly damage his reputation and influence the outcome of the 2004 presidential election."
You are very welcome!
You are welcome! :)
You can expect the Dems to stonewall this.

And its also time to defund NPR.
Re your #33;
" ...complete with the guy brought back from jail in Brazil or somewhere who has the goods on Hillery....."
What guy? Never heard of him.
You mean he's STILL ALIVE??!!
That would be amazing!
Give that man a medal.
Misty, thanks for the ping.
Eva, I hadn't realized that CBS is moderating the presidential debate on October 13th, do we know who the moderator is to be? Would RatRather have the gall? Nevermind, I imagine he would.
Bob Scheiffer is supposed to be the moderator. This is an important issue. I don't know how to get it across that we don't want to see CBS honored and respected in this way. I have been thinking about calling the local GOP headquarters, but I don't know what good that would do.
Exactly. Congress simply isn't capable of moving fast enough to deal with something like this. And the courts won't issue an injunction or anything, because they proved long ago that they don't care if the media commit fraud, libel, or virtually any other crime.
Please take me off your ping list. I never signed up for it.
but it WOULD be nice to find out who's behind it all. Aren't you curious about that?
This is great news! I wrote up a vanity thread in 2000 election on here stating the reasons why Rep Chris Cox should be chosen as the VP, and I have not changed my mind that he should run for higher office.
This is a tactical error -- if this foolish notion gets enough traction to get into the news cycle, the focus of the story will become "Republicans Launch Partisan Investigation" instead of "Bush Smeared With Bogus Documents".
When the opposition is self-destructing, don't interfere.
In the absence of of direct and immediate damage (e.g. if I forged a check and use it to buy something, somebody ends up getting cheated), it's unlikely that this sort of forgery and fraud rises to the level of a prosecutable offense.
And that's the way it should be -- government involvement should always be the last resort.
That's another reason why this is a bad idea. If Representative Cox does start a Congressional investigation that is in fact swift, efficient, and forceful against the proper targets, he ought to put a clause in his will leaving his body to the Smithsonian Institution so that he can be displayed as a unique specimen.
I second Buckhead's nomination as moderator!
Thank you Representative Cox. Throw another log on the fire and turn the spit v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
Someone is posting it around various threads on FR, as well as the tentacles they call entertainment entities.
