It turns out that Marcel Matley, CBS' so-called "expert" who said the signatures on National Guard files obtained by the network are real, is not certified by the American Board of Forensic Document Examiners, has had no formal training in identifying either papers, inks, typewriters or photocopies, and has never been trained in a document lab or by any law enforcement entity. So where does Matley derive his authority? Well, according to the New York Post, he began his career trying to predict character traits through handwriting. In a 1988 piece titled "Spirituality in Handwriting," (search) Matley uses a woman's handwriting to conclude, "She has an excellent and rich animate nature with a healthy, instinctual libidinal energy which, when integrated, will propel her into dynamic and fruitful activity."

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I am shocked SCHOCKED to find there is gambling going on here!
"libidinal energy" and "fruitful activity" in the same sentence....
What is this, queer eye for the handwriting guy?
Do I correctly understand that this same non-expert is the one who declared that the Vince Foster "suicide" note was certainly penned by Vince Foster's own hand?
Geez. Cut that out, I'm trying to sneak a peek at FR at work, now the boss knows because I can't stop laughing.
ROFL!!!!
Close, but not quite. It should be:
CBS hires palm-reader to analyze fingerprints!
Yes... this was the very same "expert" who claimed the Vince Foster suicide note was genuine.

This story made me laugh really hard. I can't believe how entertaining this week has been. But really, it's very sad. It sounds as if this fellow is something of a hired gun, to "validate" whatever questionable docs CBS uses in its hit pieces. The Vince Foster thing makes me wonder as well.
Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark...
