Brit Hume announced story coming up now on National Guard docmunents
Hewitt has Ken Melman on!!!
All the morning shows made this a BIG story.
I hope they make the forgery a BIG story.
Any bets?
(at over 500+ replys this may be irrelavent)
**Superscript is suspicious.**
Spoke to my office manager, who graduated UTC (UC at the time) in '72 degree in business, she could type 70+ words a min at the time...
NO superscrip on ANY typewriters at that time. She NEVER saw superscript till PCs came out
Ken Mehlman of BC04 on Hugh now! Seems to be repeating the old line. Kenny boy....get a pair!
Excellent point worth repeating. On Hugh Hewitt the doc expert discussed the spacing and your example makes his description absolutely clear.
I think Hugh should stop insulting the National Enquirer.
Sorry about that (duh, me so inelegant and dorky). I was unclear. My response was to the possible question that these were copies of original documents. My response is, if so, then how did a dead guy sign and/or initial those copies?
Of course. There was a wayback machine created by Mr. Peabody that enabled Ben Barnes and his pals in "Texas Dorks for Truth" to go back to 1972 and gift the Colonel with a PC.
These documents are sooooooooooo fake. Even the language used is over the top phony, considering the problems this dude would have if they were ever discovered while still on duty.
I can teach you how to replicate these documents, including getting the character degregadtion nearly close in about ... five minutes?
And there are at least 2000 people out there who can teach you in two minutes!
CBS is now a joke.
Mehlman is keeping on message. I guess that's a good thing. Discipline.

You screen is approximately 70-120 dots per inch. Your printer is 300-2400 dots per inch. Your laser printer probably has a "print engine" that takes a high-level description of a page, e.g. Adobe or HP printer-language. The fonts stored inside your printer were designed only to be renedered at high resolution. Your screen fonts are designed to look good at 70 dpi if they have to. This accounts for differences between on-screen and printed documents.
Mr. Rather said the authenticity of the 32-year-old email has been confirmed by several Nigerian officials who specialize in electronic funds transfer by email.
Forgive me a bit of cynicism, but this forgery was just clumsy enough to ensure it maximum exposure before it came crashing down, and I doubt highly if Bush's people could have put it over on CBS. There is one set of very well-connected media manipulators who could have, though, and they work for She Who Must Not Be Named.
Carl Cameron has been Excellent! But He wont get anymore interviews with Lurch, thats for sure.
I went to Drudge. That's too funny!
smart comment.

As my daughter would say (When people are confronted by unpleasant truths they don't want to recognize):

These files are not searchable. What they contain is nothing more than an image of the original. No alteration appears to have been done in converting them to the pdf format.
They had superscript on photo compositors. Slide type, too.
Maybe Killian was a printer or a typesetter. Uh...yeah... uh huh....
