"To these people" she says WE ARE THESE PEOPLE.

This made my day.

MAPING.

[FlingWingFlyer]

"Truth" and Doody? What kind of title is that for a book written by a Liberal liar whose own father thinks she's a freak.

[planekT]

Eat crap and die Mapes. All your memos are belong to Buckhead.

[drt1]

"And I was helpless to do anything about any of it."

Memo to Ms. Mapes: It is almost impossible to defend a lie, especially one so crude and obvious as the memo you tried to foist on us. Give it up already!

[MarkeyD]

She's blaming faxing for the the exact location of each single character on the page mapping directly to that created by MS Word?

What a moron.

“And right now, on the Internet, it appeared everything was falling apart. I had a real physical reaction as I read the angry on line accounts. It was something between a panic attack, a heart attack, and a nervous breakdown. My palms were sweaty; I gulped and tried to breathe. . . . The little girl in me wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out."

How such a fragile person gained a position of management is mind boggling.

That should be put to music. Party music.

Something along the lines of Buster Poindexter's "Hot Hot Hot" so we can conga line around the internet in party hats.

Sounds like somebody got "busted"...heehee.

Mary Mapes is no Mike Wallace. Mike would have found out who Lucy Ramirez was. Mapes is a hack. Her own "examiners" said so. The one she put on said he didn't do documents, only signatures. Mapes hired this guy, whose only claim to handwriting fame was an article about how to tell if a woman is good in the sack from her penmanship.

[airborne]

A badge of honor!

The faxing destroyed the subtle arcs and lines in the letters.

Faxing a document many times can turn a typewritten 1973 memo into something that looks exactly like it was created in Word2000 and printed on a laser printer.

It's just weird.

[Colonial Warrior]

Mapes is just a liberal member of...

Reap and sew!

[Doctor Raoul]

--"Faxing changes a document in so many ways, large and small, that analyzing a memo that had been faxed -- -in some cases not once, but twice -- -was virtually impossible. The faxing destroyed the subtle arcs and lines in the letters. The characters bled into each other. The details of how the typed characters failed to line up perfectly inside each word were lost."

So now it's a crummy document, but when she used it, it was iron clad...

[Paleo Conservative]

Wow! It's really tearing up the sales charts at Amazon.com.

Amazon.com Sales Rank:
Today: #255,086 in Books
Yesterday: #155,355 in Books

[Babsig]

Does this mean FR can sue for slander after it's published?

[Cicero]

It seems to be true. I just searched Amazon for Mary Mapes, and all I got was a book by another Mary Mapes about Indianapolis and a bunch of children's books by Mary Mapes Dodge, who evidently was a better and more honest person than her descendant.

As a rule Barnes & Noble pushes liberal books and hides conservative ones, whereas Amazon appears to be fairly impartial.

I imagine this is temporary, until after the announced publication date. I can't imagine Mapes would be stupid enough to remove her book from one of the biggest outlets.

"wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out."

People that lie and get caught sometimes have this reaction.
Many little children do this when they get caught fibbing to their parents!

[vbmoneyspender]

Everyone's a bad guy, except for me -- and I have the memos to prove it!

[SuperSonic]

They tried, and got caught.

[manwiththehands]

... The little girl in me wanted to crouch and hide behind the door and cry my eyes out ...

Oh, I'm just getting all choked up. Maybe she just needed some milk and cookies.
