This is a replay of the kind old couple who happened to have a radio that picked up cell phones and happened to have a tape recorder when they picked up Newt's conversation.
This kind, old lady is a DNC plant.
The original plan has come unraveled
. I would like to see the production date on the DNC ad using the CBS memos. Perhaps the RNC already knows that and that is why they haven't backed away from today's "linking".
I noticed that.
They need to grill her on her party affiliations and donations just as aggressively as they have grilled the anti-Kerry people like swiftvets!
"Is it really likely that she would remember one man from another given her age?"
Don't paint too broad a brush on the age factor. While camping in July we met and became aquainted with a retired Armstrong Cork engineer and his wife. He was exactly 86 years old, wheeled his class A motorhome around like a pro and was sharp as a tack.
He had worked on the insulation for missiles and space rockets. He grasp of current and past events was fantastic. (the give away was his colorful description of what should be done to Kerry, the presumed dem boy to be at the time)
My guess is that this woman is the source for the original allegations that were made at least three years ago, maybe more.
Of course, more research is needed....
Nice try. They are trying to authenticate the content of the documents even though the documents themselves are not authentic. Could this be any more transparent?
This is just a guess but I am thinking that Dan would have rolled her out by now.
An item here had the lin to Kerry's FBI files. Maybe someone could fwd them to CBS with a note that they really need a lot of sugar coating. CBS can handle that for sure. Funny they've never mentioned his files or his traitorship.
I suspect that Zellenn is defending the lady's age bracket. Could Zellenn be in that age range? Previously, she's commented on her "late husband".
Let's face it, Danny boy got caught with his pants down and it's a Rather unpleasant picture they are all trying to cover up.
I actually voted for the 87 billion....before I voted against it.
I'm sure you did.
Major influx lately with all the publicity.
Now I'll just go grab my special troll-proof bunny slippers.
Well, for what it is worth ($0.01), here is my theory:
Who knew about these memos? Only Killian and his secretary, Marian Carr Knox. She claims she has accurate memory of what they contained, contacts someone in the Democrat Party, and then she and a young Democrat operative set out to "reconstruct" the memos. She remembers enough to get a lot of things right, but slips on some details, like the fact of Staudt's retirement 18 months before he was "exerting pressure". The young operative is too young to realize, and Knox is too old to realize, that typing these documents on Microsoft Word is going to be a dead give-away. Then the young operative starts shopping the story around, complete with "documents". Dan Rather thinks he hits paydirt because he believes he got the documents from Killian's secretary, the only person besides Killian who could know about them. That's why he stuck with the story. What I don't know is whether Rather knew the documents were "reconstructed" and went ahead anyway, or just held on to belief in their authenticity because he wanted the story to be true.
As far as the "sweet little old lady" theory goes, I know some 86 year old ladies who are sweet as honey and others who are nasty as vipers. I think we have a viper here, who is mixing fact and hangar gossip and dislike of Bush and an 86 year old's memory from 30 years ago to come up with recollections of memos that are part fact and part fiction.
No, you see, they are BASED on real documents...lol.
If they were accurate there would have been no need to forge the fakes! DUH! Do they really think people are this dumb? Oh, I forgot, she's a die-on-the-vine Kerry supporter ROFLMAO
Yes, I agree on the age thing, though I think it's the exception not the rule to meet someone as you describe.
