I think it was Nora O'Donnell one night who said that Cheney was worrying about debating Edwards because of Edward's skill as a trial lawyer.

She said it with a straight face.

Now the document was scanned in and when it came out it was in word format! ROFL

I heard someone peddling that theory on Savage's radio show. He theorized that OCR (Optical character recognition) software was used an then it was imported into MS Word.

If that's the case, then why was the resulting document CRUMPLED in an apparent attempt to AGE it?

[Huck]

Nora O'Donnell is an idiot. That whole clique are a bunch of idiots. Sorry, Andrea. You're an idiot. Ditto David Gregory, of course. The whole crowd. Clueless twits. But hey, what do I know?

[OldFriend]

If you know they're all idiots, then you know it all!

Arizona is not a battleground state. The only place it's a battleground state is in the media/dems dreams.

ABRAMS: Dean Ghiglione, let‘s assume for a moment then that the documents are not authentic. For the sake of argument, let‘s assume that for a moment. And yet, let‘s say that CBS still says, all right, you know what, even if the documents aren‘t authentic, the heart of our story is still true. It doesn‘t change the heart of our story. As the dean of the most prominent journalism school in the country, is that an acceptable explanation from CBS?

GHIGLIONE: Well, I‘m always nervous about hypothetical...

ABRAMS: You do it all the time in your school. Come on. You can play one with us.

GHIGLIONE: Right. But, you know, I think that you want the credibility of that news organization and broadcast and journalism in general can to be—to withstand scrutiny and I would be nervous about a position that would say, well, gee, don‘t worry about the authenticity of the documents. It seems that‘s part of the case they made.

It can be true, as they say, and this is important. It‘s not to be just tossed aside, that their report can be accurate despite these documents and so I think they‘re in a little bit of a catch 22 situation.

Have these people never heard of evidence that's tainted throws the whole case out?

Dan, are you really a lawyer or do you just play one on TV?

""Hardball: The Horserace" is the viewers' source for election news,..."

No, it's not.
