BINGO! That is exactly what this past week of foot-dragging and stone-walling by CBS and the Democrats has been all about - - damage control. Look for that unstable simpleton Burkett to take the fall for all of them.
"Officials were meeting last night with Dan Rather, the anchor who presented the report, to go over the information it has collected about the documents one last time before making a final decision. "
According to this sentence, Dan Rather is an "it".
Could one of our secret agents please drop this on that other "website" so we can watch the implosion before we put our jammies on and go to bed please?
Burkett unstable already, being exposed this way, he might go off the deep end...but no matter what, he's radioactive now. But no matter how the left and the right attack Burkett, or try to claim he had emotional problems, he was slick enough to fool Mary Mapes, now wasnt' he?
And don't forget, the last remaining "document expert" James Pierce
said he has stack of other documents from CBS he had yet to
go through.
I'd bet that the pus from this boil contaminates them all.
Mr. Pierce could make a tidy fortune unpeeling each one as another CBS fake.
Oh my god, that is too funny
1. The widow and son were IGNORED
2. Document experts were IGNORED
3. Hodges was MISLED
4. The old secretary was NOT INTERVIEWED until afterward
5. The opinions of the experts were MISREPRESENTED
6. The swift boat veterans were MALIGNED
7. George Bush's roomate DURING HIS GUARD YEARS, who AGREED TO SPEAK TO THEM WAS TURNED DOWN BECAUSE HE WAS TOO "PRO BUSH"...
And the list goes on. Fact is, this was a HIT PIECE ON BUSH. And just because dnCBS owns up to fake documents does NOT CLEAR THEIR PROPAGANDA / DNC REPORTING!!
If the documents were the ONLY ISSUE in this, without all of the other plainly propaganda driven results, it wouldn't be such an issue.
THE DOCUMENTS ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG! THE ICEBERG IS THE MANIPULATION AND DECEPTION OF THE PUBLIC!!
But, but... Dan Rather and Mary Mapes knew President Bush was guilty of something...
They still believe it reflected Mr. Killian's feelings? Based on what? Wishful thinking or the slipping memory of an elderly pool typist? The information was MADE UP by a mental patient. They just can't give up the idea that they had a scoop of info that they all wish was true. CBS is finished as a credible news source (although we've known it for years!).
Got a URL for Dobbs' story?
Good stuff, keep it up....this is what WAPO or WSJ or someone should print
"Lone nut theory is not going to fly. Michael Dobbs has already tied the information to the DNC and the Kerry campaign.
Operation Fortunate Son using the forged documents was no coincidence."
It may not fly but that doesn't mean they won't try it Who would have thought they were dumb enough to try forged documents..
Let's not forget a famous quote, "The cover-up is worse than the crime".
From your keyboard to God's eyes!
And the sweating, and the squirming, and the new lame excuse of the day..... LOL
They seem to be putting full responsibility on Mapes, not only for researching the story for the past five years, but for vetting the documents with experts.
I smell ozone
The Turds weren't deceived, they are part of the scam. Phoney window dressing is all this. they hope/hoped to keep this going thru Oct. to counter the swiftboat guys, blunt any Oct. move by the swiftboat guys. Totally in lock-step with the DNC.
"You can't cheat an honest (man/woman)?"
The rest of it is "never give a sucker an even break"
Rather/Sucker
"Sorry for the duplicates!"
No worries. It was worth repeating. ;o)
