Abusing a position of power comes naturally to liberal Democrats.
as in the tagline.
Easy, Bumpsters. Read this, from a non-partisan source:
http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/IBM-Executive-series-typewriter (a.k.a. http://tinyurl.com/5tb25 )
>>>The IBM Electric typewriters were a series of electric typewriters that IBM manufactured, starting in the late 1940s. They used the conventional moving carriage and hammer mechanism. Each model came in both Standard and Executive versions; the Executive differed in having a multiple escapement mechanism and four widths for letters, producing a near typeset quality result. [!!!]
One model of the series was introduced in the late 1940s:
IBM Model A Two models of the series were introduced in the 1950s:
IBM Model B
IBM Model C One model of the series was introduced in the early 1970s:
IBM Model D Modified Standard versions of the A, B, and C models were commonly used as "console typewriters" or terminals on many early computers (e.g., JOHNNIAC, IBM 1620, PDP-1). Following the introduction of the IBM Selectric typewriter in 1961, which was much easier to interface to a computer, these typewriters were rarely used anymore as "console typewriters" or terminals.

"Near typeset quality". I don't mean to rain on any Freeper's parade, and I'm happy to dump on Kerry's, but let's not make a stink about this until we know -- otherwise we lose credibility.
At any rate, it was very observant of you to note this.
And I agree that it would have been no doubt caught by many.
That being said, I cannot help suspect CBS, and their so called experts that examined the articles/documents and then willy nilly aired them. It seems the forgeries were pretty amateur, yet their experts signed off on them?
Is their no protocol to substantiate something before it airs on national television? Hehe. Especially something that would predictably attract hordes with magnifying glasses and skepticism. It'll be interesting to see if CBS, to save face and to shift the blame, will be compelled to reveal their source. A source that appeared to make a complete fool of them, played them like a Texas fiddle.
Thank you, but why?

Bumping for first blood. FR was first in the world to post the likelihood of the Space Shuttle disaster, and no FT has scooped the world on Rathergate.
Congratulations. Thanks for the great job.
Congrats on spotting that!
Bookmark for History.
Kudos to you for getting the ball rolling!
See post 47
Anyone have a Times name and password? I wonder if they retracted this forged story, too.
You da man. Power to the people.
