Kurtz says right now, CBS is interviewing Killian's secretary

This is going to backfire on CBS big time. If she goes on the air and makes allegations as to what Killian thought, she will have to appear on other competing news programs, or she will have no credibility. Any decent interviewer should have no trouble deconstructing her story and bringing out contradictions and inconsistencies in her story.

By this time next week - her lies will be the story and the Kerry campaign will still be in the background.

"Say, you don't suppose they have kidnapped 'Buckhead' do you?"

Actually, hints that MSM types would gun for one or more bloggers started last Thursday. NPR wrapped up thursdays update with the statement "questions are being raised about the how the blogger raised questions so soon after the broadcast".

(I monitor NPR sometimes strictly for enemy intel purposes)

You know that monitoring NPR can make you take a likein' to Kool-Aid?

Ah, the old "I question the timing of us" line. Don't you just love predictability when it involves RATs?

Is this the same Lou Dobbs who said he wasn't going to talk about Vietnam anymore?

Hard to tell. Which one is he today?

I was only kidding but someone thought it was series. ;)

Give credit to Registered for the pic (though I will take some minor credit for suggesting the glass of whiskey and the two bullets).

Yes, we are supposed to believe this admitted Bush-hater, but any pro-Bush witnesses are to be dismissed. They are flying this lady in to hide behind her skirts, to make it seem like attacking CBS is attacking an 86 year-old woman.

Heh!....I wonder who it was who dumped 90,000 shares at around 3:30!

They instantaneously tanked the price by a third of a percent.

Michael Medved, just before he signed off, read a statement he said was the CBS Statement.

It was from Andrew Heyward, and he basically said CBS stands by the documents, but, because there are so many questions, CBS will redouble its efforts to answer the questions.

How about undue stress on the Killian family? This can't make them happy.

Emily Will, forensic document examiner, who warned CBS against going with the story, "wasn't adamant enough in her warnings." THIS is their defense????

Sorry, I think Bush had something like 300 or 350 flight hours, which would come out to 12 and a half to 14 and a half days.

Since it takes almost an entire day of pre-flight briefing, flying 1-2 hours, post-flight briefing, then Bush spent much more time at his job than Kerry did on his little boat.
