"re-creations" of actual documents = forgeries

We rely on anonymous sources,
On political hacks,
Certifiable quacks,

The longer this goes on, the more it appears that Rather is going to survive. What a wonderful opportunity is slipping away...

[Boundless]

Here's a theory ...

Suppose Hillary promised Rather that he'd get to be the
annointed boy to break the big "October Surprise" she's
been saving?

He could hardly do that if he gets his butt fired in Sept.
So, gotta tough it out.

(Not that Hillary wants Kerry to win.
She just wants a narrow messy loss.)

"Gunga Dan" will soon have a new paradigm - "Bullet Dodger", as it is obvious to all that he has dodged this bullet.

But watch out for the ricochet and possible shrapnel burst. CBS was standing back there in the line of fire....

There is one thing that this entire Memogate scandal tells me. The Kerry organization has run out of ammo! If that were not the case, this would never have taken place. Why throw pretend mud if you have the real thing?

Question: why does the author use the word "probably" in the first sentence?

Recreations - kind of like when they fired a rocket at a pickup truck to make it explode during a "live test" showing us all the dangers... As I recall, there was a huge flap over the agency that did that and this is much worse - the fate of our country is at stake.

"CBS News failed to properly investigate the story before putting it on the air."
I disagree. CBS knew the documents were false but needed the story out there quickly to throw the Swift Boat vets story off track. When Kerry's records finally see the light of day, CBS will cast doubts as to whether they were forged as well. CBS and Rather are not stupid people but are very clever liars.

I have been expecting to see a flood of "recreated" documents about Kerry truths from Freepers.
I haven't had time, but I think if the CBS logic prevails, we owe everyone a month and a half of documents proving: well, anything you want!
I'm gonna have some fun!

The latest turn in the scandal is a clever ploy

What I call defining down clever. It is an artless, stupid, pointless defense. If true (which it is not) it would not be a useful defense.

Dan Rather is still an altered toad with no top lip.

[Eternal_Bear]

Rather has always been an evil scumbag. He has always been a phoney. He deserves to be fired immediately as well as 90% of people at CBS news. What a bunch of pathetic PC toadies.
