The key document purports to be a memorandum by Bush’s National Guard commanding officer, the late Lt. Col. Jerry Killian, saying that he had felt pressure to “sugar coat” Bush’s record because Bush’s father was then chairman of the Republican National Committee.

That's not right, is it?

George H. W. Bush

Giving up his seat in the House in 1970, Bush ran once again for the United States Senate. His opponent, Lloyd Bentsen, won easily despite campaign help from President Richard M. Nixon. Nixon rewarded Bush for his Senate campaign efforts with an appointment as Ambassador to the United Nations. In 1973 Nixon named Bush Chairman of the Republican National Committee.

See Post #7. Good catch on this, I think a correction needs to be sent to the reporter.

That detail may be but everything in that sentence is WRONG.

It doesnt matter what the forged documents say.

They are FORGED DOCUMENTS, provably so to anyone except the LIARS at CBS News. for other journalists to treat this example of fraud as a 'maybe good, maybe not' and to repeat the phony contents as if they matter is an utter travesty.
