I am sure right there with you, hoping it has the proverbial "legs."

Any bets on how long Red Dan and the rest of his buddies take to suddenly decide they're not giving enough air time to us "poor hurricane ravaged souls" down here in Florida?

If it was done at CBS, you'd think the forger would have used that old typewriter on Andy Roony's desk

That sounds like legaleeze. Everybody listens to their corporate lawyers while they empty their depends.

Could you post your scan of the Executive output? Did you use Times Roman proportional?

Whoever came up with this is out of a job. These dems are so desperate to come up with anything, they will resort to fabrication...

It was the "CYA" that gave it away.

At my old job I used to have to mess around a lot with tracking and kerning to adjust the letter spacing in Times family fonts in 24 points and above.

Knew it was Word right away.

I got the feeling Mort Kondracke was defending the memos. He didn't seem to believe they could be forgeries. Did I perceive incorrectly?

You did indeed perceive INcorrectly.

CBS is in meltdown mode and won't reveal their source because they are too embarrassed.

That's kinda my point. Again, if they were not party to this forgeries, wouldn't they not be compelled to come forward and reveal their source, or who provided them with falsified documents.

You know, to shift blame and save face. If that's possible.

It would have been such poetic justice if Chris Wallace, son of Rather's former colleague at CBS, had been the one to call CBS on its blatant fraud.

I tried to search for specific words using the files from the CBS site. I did it using the Acrobat reader acting as a browser plug-in, or as a stand-alone application on the actual file which I downloaded to my computer. The search did not work in either case which means the documents are just image files embedded in the pdf file.

My understanding is that a scanned document can be converted to pdf format in a process which uses optical character recognition (OCR) software to convert the word images to digital format, which is then rendered by the reader into a visible (and searchable) display format. Any images or illustrations in the original document are inserted into the pdf file so they show up in the correct places. Every document converted in this manner must be proofread to correct mistakes that the process introduces.

Since the search function does not work, I conclude that this conversion process was not done, so what you see in the file is just an image of the original, and is an accurate representation.

I think the line of defense has been hinted at by some on these threads. CBS will claim that they re-did the docs for air because they were difficult to read in their original form.

That won't work because the obvious response is to demand that they release their originals and have them authenticated by a group of independent experts. All they can do is the normal routine - lie, stonewall, counter-attack and frantically try to stuff the sh!t back into the goose.
