The author of this piece doesn't know EVEN TODAY if the docs are fake, which means he is unaware of or doesn't understand the evidence. For him to be so spectacularly ignorant is his right, but what is he doing on Page 1 of the New York Observer discussing said memos?

Apparently, it is suspicious that anyone, anywhere, is knowledgeable enough to spot the problems with the CBS documents. Why is that? There must be something like 240 million people in this country. Some of them have specialized knowledge.

Why is it not suspicious to this author that CBS ignored its own experts, who also spotted these problems?

The Observer is one of those hoity-toity weekly newspapers that the press all reads. I think Anson is telling them how to spin the story for their readers -- to wit, never mind if the documents are fake; these right-wing bloggers are the real enemy.

And contrary to the idiot author's presumption, the knowledge needed to spot the forgery isn't even "specialized". You just have to be old enough to have used typewriters in the 70's, and then word processors in the 80+'s. And there are millions of us who have done just that.

When you've actually worked with something, and lived through a change, you tend to REMEMBER it. What an idiot.
