Wouldn't this woman's views be considered hearsay?
In the 'real' world they would... this is RatherWorld!
As I understand it, it would be hearsay, and more to the point...
...hearsay from an 86 year old woman (many are sharp, but all suffer from memory troubles)...
recalling overheard conversations from over thirty years ago...
...about one obscure 1st Lieutenant among hundreds her boss commanded...
...a lieutenant Killian's own family says Killian held in high regard...
...and who was held in high regard by many other officers who served with him...
...in a situation that Killian wouldn't have been concerned with in the least, namely Bush's flight physical status while working for another wing wasn't having him fly and wouldn't have recognized Killian's ratings or orders...
...ratings and orders, BTW, that were inconsistent with normal practice and Air Force regs anyway.
Yep, all sorts of credibility there. Plus she says there's no way she typed the memos, so CBS is still screwed with a capital screw. If I worked for CBS News, I'd be looking around for a lifeboat.
