Did you see him fumble and try to get into the wrong car? LOL. His car was further up the drive. LOL.
Hysterical! Check out this little gem uncovered by "Enlightiator". From a Bush speech in Charlotte on 9/17:
"One of the interesting things about a changing economy is that our workers are more productive than ever before. That means instead of using a hoe, you use a backhoe. Or instead of using, you know, a regular old standard typewriter, you use a computer. In other words, that's an example of becoming more productive."
Full Speech:

I think the next escapade of the document-loonies at the DNC will be an attempt to alter the Congressional Record to make it appear that John F'n sKerry once passed a bill in the Senate. Or maybe that he just showed up occasionally.
(I'd almost put the word interview in quotes. There's just no amount of damage control they can do at this point....).
No interview of Hodges or Killian's family? Why not? So, these CBS people HAVEN'T interviewed these people YET? They've been working on this "story" for FIVE damn years??? Sheesh. How much $$$ do these people get paid each year? Amazing.
Mapes and Rather go to the unemployment line
Deep Throat (whoever that is) goes to jail.
and if they can tie this in any way to the DNC, all of them get their walking papers.
This will allow them to get past the most important point to be dealt with here. Did the RATS pass on the memos? It will be up to the "new media" to press forward. Otherwise, the story will be put aside for another day (see post Nov.2) and McAuliffe, Cleland, Kerry,et al will breath easier. The longer CBS stood by the story the more curiosity there was and the more competitive drive to get to the truth by outfits desiring to score points on CBS. See ABC News.
No this is a two edged sword. Busts CBS and Rather. However, lets the complicity of the RATS and or Kerry campaign rest easier. We will now see the real strength of the pajama people, and possibly FOX News, tested. The stakes are HUGE. If the RATS are outed as being in cahoots with CBS it will damage Kerry in a major fashion. Courage.
oh, but the full bore mea culpa will get great ratings!!
1) they are fake
2) Burkett is the source
This is Rather's last chance - but if tell's all now, he may survive with his career if not his credibility intact.
BTW, blogs fingered Burkett many days ago, even my blog had it weds ...
http://freedomstruth.blogspot.com
... so Rather is reporting what blogs knew some time ago.
welcome to the 21st century, Dan.
What always amazed me is that Rather himself anchored the story. He must have thought that the memo story would have the needed authority/vetting if he personally attended to the report. 'Course Rather thought this story could turn the tide but, as anyone here knew from the get-go, that tide of voters beached on Bush Point as opposed to Kerry Cove.
Under the circumstances, I guess a thank-you is in order for the Danster - single-handedly taking down not just CBS but a large amount of the little credibility left within the LMSM.
The guy is already bitter about his lot in life (his illness, benefits denied, and now he's mired in this controversy) that I doubt he'll stand for the further indignity of being a fall guy. He'll spill the beans--that is, if something doesn't happen to him first.
LOL. Home run!
I agree, but I think it's too much to hope for that CBS will give up anyone in the Kerry campaign. They'll say they got them directly from Burkett, dealt with Burkett, etc. IF the Kerry people have any sense at all they didn't provide any physical evidence directly to CBS, they probably just helped CBS to get together with Burkett and told CBS that Burkett could be trusted (yeah, right).
I think both Rather/Mapes and Burket/Van Os will go to their graves before they give up Cleland or anyone in the Kerry camp. Unfortunately, I expect the best we can hope for is a major shake-up within CBS and a prosecution of Burkett, but Rather and his pals in CBS will fight to make Mapes the only scapegoat there..... I say fire everyone who touched this story and prosecute Burkett to the limit!
That's too much. What a zinger
WAIT A MINUTE! I'VE BROKEN THE CASE!!! I GET IT!!!! Capt'n Dan channeled Col Killian, and had Bill Burkett type 'em and fax 'em to make it look convincing.....yeah ...that's it!
That is very, very funny...
Is that the first time (not genuine) that they are admitting the memos are fake, or did I miss it?
CBS owes the President an apology for sure
and the partisan pajamahadeen...
It must really suck to be a delusional DUmmy. The diabolically eeevil Karl Rove must give them feverish nightmares.
Don't forget Kinko's, folks. The oh-so-important memos were faxed from a freakin' Kinko's, later to be trotted out on 60 Minutes 2 as "news."
