That is without a doubt the smartest thing I've read from anyone tonight. You're absolutely right, Ann's handlers would have pored through Bush's files. Forget about this fictitious sanitization in '97—anything in those files would have hit the press way back in '94. Excellent observation.
A person who so eagerly villified Bush 41 in the 1988 DNC Keynote would have never hesitated to destroy the son in an election, particularly after his very impressive disection of Gov Richards in the gubernatorial debate. Note that we have not heard from Ann Richards on any of this. I'm waiting for her face to drop, oops I mean the other shoe.
Perhaps Dan Rather, friend to the ACLU and Ann Richards (Rather attended a 1988 fundraiser for her, according to Liz Smith), could even advocate the admission of forgery into courts of law as long as it kicks loose a deeper truth about a guilty defendant.
Now, I am wondering when someone else is going to put Ann Richards in the mix?
So what does that tell you?
