Liberal is as stupid does.
She is definitely stuck on stupid (liberal). She thinks she is head and shoulders smarter than the unwashed masses and that we are so stupid we will not be able to discern or see the truth.
With all due respect: No one believes you any more. You lost all your credibility long ago. And your boss, Danny boy, didn't even have the testicular fortitude to stand up for you. You are like a child caught with her hand in the cookie jar, protesting loudly to the family that you were never even in the same room as the cookie jar. No one believes you.
I always thought that the burden of proof was on Mapes.
The latter part of the column is the most interesting. Mary Mapes has destroyed herself and is obviously washed up, but the Republican establishment is about to crumble into dust because crusty-old-militaristic-marine Murtha is riding to the rescue.
I don't think so.
As for Mapes, Kurtz writes: "Mapes is right that the purported 30-year-old memos by Bush's long-dead squadron commander have not been proven to be forgeries."
No, Howie. They have not been legally proven to be forgeries, because for the usual reasons no prosecutor has pursued Mapes, Rather, and CBS for the crime of pushing a forgery on the public to influence a presidential election.
But anyone who doubts for a minute that these documents are forgeries simply hasn't looked at the evidence.
The next time she appears on TV the host should play the into to the Twilight zone!
When people who think they're Gods are doubted by mere mortals, it's hard for them to let go...

Mapes is right that the purported 30-year-old memos by Bush's long-dead squadron commander have not been proven to be forgeries
Yup. As long as you don't define what proof is, nothing is ever proven. So it's only of passing interest that Killian's secretary thinks the documents are forgeries and says that there was no proportional spacing typewriter in their offices. Same for the reality that certain facts in the memos are wrong and that some of the terms used were Army rather than Air Force terms. It's a minor point for people like Mapes that the stylistic elements were wrong for the Air Natl Guard. Or that Joseph Newcomer, someone who actually knows what he is talking about, has to this to say:
The probability that any technology in existence in 1972 would be capable of producing a document that is nearly pixel-compatible with Microsoft’s Times New Roman font and the formatting of Microsoft Word, and that such technology was in casual use at the Texas Air National Guard, is so vanishingly small as to be indistinguishable from zero.
BTW, his full analysis is here:

After all, he's just another blogger to people like Mapes and Kurtz.
>>Mapes is right that the purported 30-year-old memos by Bush's long-dead squadron commander have not been proven to be forgeries<<
Huh?
Yes, they have, Howie.
Wanna bet!? What sort of standard of proof do these clowns operate on? The near-perfect way in which the memos are duplicated by the default settings in Microsoft Word, and the fact that specialized superscripts were not then easily available (if at all) proved to me, and I think most here, that these were out and out frauds.
