He got such special treatment that his commander, who was not a typist, took a time machine thirty years into the future to buy a PC and MS Word and an ink jet printer, to record (for his own person records) his observations about Bush. Then he gave these records to a mysterious confidant who held on to them for another thirty-two years in case George Bush ever ran for president. But not in case he ran for Governor.

Ditto on Thomas's comment. And to all -- have a GOOD day!

Thank you is inadequate. Your post appears to be the shot heard round the media. They must realize now that we are watching and we know!

I think these docs were "created" by someone incredibly stupid, and also incredibly young. Someone who doesn't know that computers haven't ALWAYS been around and that some people might actually know something about typewriters.

I have to continually remind my kids, ages 16 thru 22, that when I was a kid we had about SEVEN TV channels, we had no cable or Nintendo or VCRs, etc. Of course, they are incredulous when I mention it -- just like we couldn't imagine what the world was like for our parents w/o TV, or refrigerators, or even indoor toilets!

The most interesting thing about all of this is that SeeBS SHOULD have caught these forgeries, but Dan Blather was blinded by his HATRED for Dubya, and conservatives in general, and hastily jumped on this story.

I think that ole Dan should now join his good "friend" Tom Brokaw in retirement.

The Post that silenced Rather's blather.

Buckhead,

Little Green Footballs has picked up on your theory and has taken it further. Take a look.

You rock.

Bravo! Congratulations!

[expatpat]

Well done, Buckhead!

[Maelstrom]

You got 'em.

I hope this thread is archived in it's complete form.

Wouldn't want to lose it.

[Carry_Okie]

Congratulations upon the import of your observations.

[UnbelievingScumOnTheOtherSide]

An honor to post in the same thread with you.

I originally posted this to myself (DUH!)...it was meant for you.

Well, the story seems to have legs, big time.
Your original post was cited at Powerlinblog.com, and it was there in the context of an early (if not the first) Internet discovery of the possible forgery of Rather's documents. I think I can renew my congratulations for your fast eye and keyboard...and my thanks as well.

It also seems that these documents may have originated with Kerry campaign staff, too (that's just developing, so we have to see if it is true).

Have a great day!
