Maybe, just MAYBE, this will teach the Republicans they should be paying attention to Free Republic. Heck, for the humor if nothing else! Pubbies kick Dem a$$ in using humor to skewer their opponents.I'll bump that. :^)

Brit Hume announced story coming up now on National Guard docmunents
You'd think that if you thought they had something to hide.
Since they don't, they didn't.
It wouldn't even be the NG flunky who had this gee-whiz wonder gadget. It would probably be sitting in a cubicle outside his office that was manned by an E-3 or E-4 yeoman (sorry, I only know the Navy term for a clerical worker).
If it existed, every secretary alive today would remember it because they would have been bugging their bosses for it regularly.

It was a setup. CBS is going to blame the White House for not telling them the memos were forgeries. This is just too funny. Is it the White House's job to keep CBS from embarrasing themselves?
What? I heard this. He did great by saying he was most interested in the questions being raised and said he hoped they would all get to the bottom of it.
What, pray tell, would you have liked him to do? Jump to a hasty conclusion? Nonsense.

The only thing that could even try is a Selectric Composer.
$4,500.00... in the 60's!
I'd guess most cars were cheaper.
Throb! Throb! Throb!
Obviously, CBS have no fact checkers that ever served any time in the military.
Hewitt: CBS...NOT a news organization!
I think it was a Clinton mole in the Pentagon, trying to sabotage Kerry/Big Media to get Pres. Bush reelected so the field is clear in '08 for you-know-whom.
"We made copies of the memos CBS gave us because we would never expect CBS to use forged documents in their reporting."
I hope they use that exact line. Plus something like, 'In continuing our policy of trying to make public all of President Bush's records we tried and will continue to try to make all records available"
Oh boy, now we can watch O'Blowhard spew the SEE-BS crap on his show.
Dude, these guys faking these documents were low-powered morons. They used double-spaces instead of single after sentences, they used a particular (and I might add, quite subtle) version of a font that didn't exist in 1972. TNR did exist then, but the TrueType font used on PCs were not created until fairly recently. There are slight differences in letter spacing and character pairs. I'm looking at the letter spacing between the original and the thing I typed and laughed out loud when I saw the default MSWord settings matched a typewriter from 1972!
Again, we're talking DEFAULT settings!
Finally, I measured the space between paragraphs with a pica ruler. Uh, they didn't use carriage returns. The settings were done in picas.
Kernin I dig. I haven't seen a document with enough detail to observe kerning, but If you lead, I'll follow. Kerning is a subtle inhancement over proportional spacing, and is most noticable in italic or slanted fonts.
Before I moved to the DC area, I would have seen such an idea as absurdly Byzantine and Machiavellian. Not anymore. LOL!
Could be. ---Or maybe they saw a chance to expose another DemonRat 527?
