Why the hell are these media morons writing as if you need some sort of twenty year certification course to determine that these look like obvious forgeries?
They're trying to cover up for the fact that a bunch of twenty and thirty-year veterans in a print medium didn't catch it.
I think your average reporter is not too bright.
That's not the slant of the article, that stuff is just newsprint "filler."
The main point of the article, in the old guard news media's own peculiar way, is that they are taking a bow to the new kid on the block, the blogosphere...and tipping their hat to Buckhead for taking down one of the old lions of the pride, Dan Rather.
The AWB Has Expired - Gun Owners Have Won Again For All Americans!
Because most of the media morons, as you put it, are under 30 and have no idea what a typewritten memo would look like.
Nor do they have sufficient curiosity to find out...
Hey, two sides of the coin:
-In hindsight, it is pathetically obvious that they were fake.
-At the time, Buckhead was a real molodyets to pick them out so quickly.

Someone here pointed out that this amounts to an admission of total incompetence on the part of any print media morons making such statements in their reporting on this story. When your business is printed words on paper, Buckhead's observation is really pretty obvious. I know when I read #47 that night, I though "dang, I should have noticed that!", and I'm certainly no "document forgery expert".
Thank you! As manager of a Graphic Design department for years, I can tell you the forgeries were quickly met with hysterical laughter by staff.
That's the funny thing about our society. If it had turned out to be Joe Trailer Park (which it could have been) they would have destroyed the poor person. Go figure? I think it says something sad about our society.
