Hard to believe they had a typo.

Maybe they are using that old typewriter on which they forged the documents. They certainly didn't use spell check. LOL

It took all day for this non-statement and then it had a typo. Oh, CBS...they are so dead.

Are FREEPers virtually replicating? 1,000 fathers?

That's a lot of cards to write in June.

How lame.

Statement by the President of CBS News, Andrew Heyward:

"We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television. There was a great deal of coroborating [sic] evidence from people in a position to know. Having said that, given all the questions about them, we believe we should redouble our efforts to answer those questions, so that's what we are doing."

No, Karl didn't write the memos.

And as this is a defeat for the Dems, it will be an orphan.

Hugh news, seriesly.

Big Moosen egg laid by CBS.
Beebers being stuned all over the land.
Howlin is a she.
Howlin and Buckhead may be evil twins separated at birth.

Other than that, nothing.

Ivan's coming, though.

So CBSlander is telling us that some overzealous operative created the memos showcasing the arguements that he wished to prove true by creating the memos? Phrased that way, does that remind anybody of an expresident who had multiple definitions for a two letter word? Did CBSlander just drop a hint?

What I think it leads to are dents in the dashboard and a raw throat, plus worried glances from other drivers.

LOL, what a truth! (I usually punch up a quick am station when it gets to that point)...

That just proves that they couldn't get the story they wanted to put out approved by the lawyers. They were coming up on the time that CBS News was to go on the air and they had to put something together real quick.

Don't you just hate parsing of words? They think they've bought a few days here to clean up the mess Rather made on aises 4-7. They have no idea just how diligent pajama people can be when they know the quacking is coming from a duck.

So, the DNC is motherless? Oh, the humanity of it all.

Can we break out the hats, milk and cookies, now!?
Or do we have to wait for Nov. 3?

6 mins into Rather, he's COVERING A HURRICANE!

Meanwhile, CBS did the limited hang-out all day long, until CBS NEWS Pres, Andrew Heyward released a statement about 30 mins ago, saying that the DOCS ARE ACCURATE and that they stand behind them....

LOL.....Rather's second story of the evening......MARTHA STEWARD GOING TO JAIL!!!!

""We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television.

Note that they didn't say whether they were fake or not. Just that they were "accurate".

Since these are the only evidence whatever that says that Bush was ordered to take a physical (even though he didn't need one because Alabama didn't have planes he could fly). And they are the only evidence that says people were attempting to get him favors. Then, how could they have any clue if the memos were "accurate".

By the way, ALL sons of congressmen get special treatment by the military. Whether they ask for it, or need it, or not.

THIS is the excuse SeeBS's management and legal staff sweated over all day?

I know eight-year-old kids who can do better on the fly.
