"...E.D. has a few things in that closet of hers...... "

I was watching this morning when E.D. was proclaiming that Rather & CBS were duped about the validity of the documents. I don't buy that for one minute. How can she claim they were duped when they chose to ignore the warnings of professional document experts who told them there were problems with the documents. Obviously she doesn't know that you haven't been duped if you are told by experts not to introduce the documents, and run with the story anyway. That's not being duped. That's having an agenda.

How can Rather abuse an elderly woman like this?

The ends justify the mean!
Communism/Clintonism 101!

Exactly, they're desperate and are starting to sacrifice their sheeple at their alter of Darkness.

Just jumping in here, but did anyone catch the time / date / fax # on the top edge of these documents?

A google search of the fax # might find something!

I am stunned at what you guys are reporting is the content of this thing.

Rather is finished as a credible journalist.

(yes, I know most of us had long ago washed our hands of him as a newsman---I mean this really will finish him)

Being old doesn't make her more sympathetic or credible

Ain't it the truth~ Think Madeline Murray-O'Hare, Andy Rooney, Helen Thomas, Ted Kennedy, etc. The list is endless.

If she never typed the memos, there were no memos in the "private file" re: Lt. Bush. Therefore, there was nothing for anyone to "reconstruct" from memory. Or am I missing something here?

You're missing the fact she's making up her story from bits and pieces of comments and info from over the weekend.

Don't call her "senile." Let's impeach/destroy her credibility the proper way. If we keep calling her names, we end up destroying OUR own credibility.

What was on instead was a Franklin Graham special movie type show. What a blessing that the sheeple in North Louisiana were spared from seeing this despicable show. Thank God and thank Franklin Graham.

Last night on some thread I defended this little old lady and got cyber-clobbered for it!

I still don't think she should be the focus of our anger--but Dan Rather's hiding behind her is INEXCUSABLE! He is accusing the President of the United States of dis-obeying a direct order from a superior officer--and the only proof he has for this "serious charge" is a "recreation" of a document that an 86 year old secretary said she never typed and which can only be "recreated" with word-processing technology that came along 10 years after the "direct order" was supposedly issued? Good Lord!!

She decided to recollect when CBS said they'd add 5 0's to her bank account.

We need to avoid making personal attacks on her. Rather, we need to point out her political bias, as demonstrated by her comments that Bush was "selected, not elected" and here statements that Bush is not qualified to be President.

I agree .. Dan and CBS used her in this interview for a reason

What Dan still needs to answer is .. WHO GAVE HIM THE DOCUMENTS?

No, you've got it right.
Ol' Danny boy lucked out finding this old Bush-hating lady.
He USED HER to pull a BAIT adn SWITCH:
Look at the memos, look at the memos!
No, wait look at this old lady, she's saying what I want to hear, so she MUST be right!

I'm only up to about post #150 in this thread, though I'm also reading at the very end.

Did the lady shake, as in twitch, during the interview?

Were her hands shown during the interview?

Just a thought: maybe she typed the docs up?

DU people posted "We have to defend the truth, even if it is a minor truth."

What the hell does that mean?
Is a minor truth sort of the opposite of a little lie?

UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!

I'm not - I think she is at best a senile old bat with a partisan axe to grind

Yes. The senility shows. She's also a registered "4D" voter - that means she's voted in four or more Democrat primaries in the last 10 years and her voter registration card is stamped Democrat.

"Exactly, they're desperate and are starting to sacrifice their sheeple at their alter of Darkness. "

They've always done this. Remember the Democrat creed: "Win any way, at any cost!"

So Grandma was inside everyone's head. She tried to come off as sort of sweet, but got a bitter look on her face when asked about Killian's son. In a Bette Davis moment, she uglied out, "He has no idea what went on".
