BUSH COMMANDER'S SECRETARY SAYS MEMOS ARE FAKE, CONTENT IS ACCURATE: "I did not type those memos& It's not the form I would have used. And there are words that belong to the Army, not to the Air Guard... However -- the information in those are correct," Marian Carr Knox says on "60 Minutes II"...
CRITICIZES BUSH'S ATTITUDE: "Plain and simple. Bush didn't think he had to go by the rules that others did."
RATHER DOES NOT MENTION KNOX IS A DEMOCRAT
EARLIER: CBS NEWS PRESIDENT DEFENDS REPORTING: "We established to our satisfaction that the memos were accurate or we would not have put them on television... 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," Andrew Heyward says in paper statement...
SENATORS URGE DAN RATHER TO ADMIT BEING "CONNED": This was a "situation where respected organizations such as the Boston Globe and CBS News have been conned by that forger and have become unwitting participants in foisting a forgery and a fraud upon the electorate," Sen. Bob Bennett says... MORE from Hollywood Reporter
The other networks and newspapers are finally smelling CBS's blood in the water. The sharks are in a frenzy.
You could phone that in when she said the "selected not elected" crack.
With all due respect, Senator, why don't you speak for yourself? To me, these organizations aren't "respected," because they've been pulling this kind of crap for decades.
Yes, this was obvious to us; but that's one more instance of unethical reporting. He had to have known, and he chose to ignore it as part of the story. More objective reporting?
Gotta give credit to our local CBS station in Tennessee. They didn't air the 60 Minutes story tonight. Proceeding with caution, I assume.
This whole thing is so ridiculous at this point.
And still hilarious to watch.

ABC News has done an excellent job, better than any one else except Wash Post. You have to give them a lot of credit on this whole scandal.
Yep. That is why she was most likely anti-Bush when he was in the Guard. Because of his family.
Poor lady. She made a fool out of herself tonight.
Liar Dan made a fool out of her when he exploited her foolish prejudices in the name of a fraudulent story. Thanks.
The Note is a widely read daily report.
They are still calling her Killian's secretary. Recent posts say that she was just a member of the typing pool. That considerably lessens any shreds of credibility she may have.
Fabulous toon! You rock!
Go easy on her. She is 86 and that generation were democrats all their lives. She does not realize what democrats are today.
aaaaaaaaaaaah, no. ABC smells blood. Competitor's blood. There's nothing noble in what they're doing right now. If ABC were noble they would have done a better job reporting about the Swift Vets but they treated that as if it didn't exist.
As far as the Post is concerned, again, no. My memory is much too long to commend them for this one story when they never miss an opportunity to spin every other story they can against the Bush administration. I've read too many stories by Dana Milbank, CeCe Connelly, Dana Priest, etc. to ever give them a pass. They're leftists and they report like leftists.
Rather isn't as old as she is, but he is old enough to know better.
You are so right! Maybe we should create false documents to point out what he has done and get them aired on tv. Sure beats 30 year old preferential treatment, missed meetings, etc.
Revenge for the DNC not shopping the forged docs to them, first!
