"Egads, the leftists' wild-eyed plot for an October Surprise is melting like so much goo."
Yes. But the harms already done. To many people heard the CBS report, and have heard the hundreds of replays of the Lurch castigating GWB on this issue. That is all Lurch wanted to do. Plant the seeds of doubt, and then force GWB
to counter. Meanwhile all those millions of folks watching the original TV reports, and Lurches venom, now have it planted in their head that our military, therefore GWB, and Rummy etc., are at fault.
This is the problem all along. Lurch speaks, those that do not know the facts on given issue, think he may be right, then switch there channels to some stupid show and break out the fatty salty treats.
This is the has keeped the demos alive all these years.
You know, if CBS had fooled everyone with the fake document stuff, I would normally agree. But I've seen recent polling that indicates a majority of Americans view the media with skeptical eyes. Plus, I think people believe the press has picked on Bush for a year and they're tired of it especially a wartime president.
I wouldn't bet the farm on Lurch having such high, instantaneous credibility with too many folks our there.
