General Staudt was retired!

Powerline ^ | Sept 9 2004 | Big Trunk

UPDATE 12: In the August 18, 1973 memo "discovered" by 60 Minutes, Jerry Killian purportedly writes:

Staudt has obviously pressured Hodges more about Bush. I'm having trouble running interference and doing my job. But wait! Reader Amar Sarwal points out that General Staudt, who thought very highly of Lt. Bush, retired in 1972.

The more I look at these "memos," the more obvious it appears that they are inept forgeries.

Its either Hitlery, or Kerry's camp is so desperate that they are getting that sloppy. Either way, it does serve to expose MSM's bias to a few more people.

Reminds me of the Hitler diaries hoax. 20 years later, we have the Hitlerly Diaries.

ANYONE WANT TO LAY ODDS THAT bill and hill ARE BEHIND THIS? IT WOULD BE PERFECT. HAVE SOME SHILL GIVE THESE BOGUS MEMOS TO DAN BLATHER AND THEN HAVE THE WHOLE THING BLOW UP AROUND CBS AND KERRY.

Just one problem with that theory: Why would the hildabeast want to intentionally torpedo one of her most reliable and influential media shills (rather & See BS)?

This is starting to look like sabotage of the Kerry campaign by Clinton operatives.

BTTT

Thanks for the ping Misty.

Hannity just had Gerry Ferraro on, defendign Kerry. I just sent him an e-mail...."why didn't you ask her if Teresa HK should release her tax returns..

[MizSterious]

She looked just awful, though. Take heart in that. This story was not one she wanted to discuss. Armey, on the other hand, was woefully unprepared to argue this. Just saying "Everyone in Texas knows..." doesn't really cut it.

I just thought of a third possibility (its a real stretch though) - Suppose that Bill Clinton saw a new light during his pondering of mortality and heart conditions and the like, and decided that Bush was a much better choice for the country than Kerry. Maybe Slick is behind this. Maybe he's seen the light.

OK, so one can dream, can they not???

Joe quit Congress and now mealy mouths on MSNBC. I used to like him, but he is such a weak reed in this storm that I now wonder if he is being blackmailed.

Somebody has files on Scarborough, that's for sure!

They might find Ms. Rodham's original forgeries under her bed.

[SevenofNine]

OMGGG This is funny priceless

If I was Viacom stockholder I be one throw f-bomb at CBS right now

[SunnyUsa]

Maybe Slick is behind this. Maybe he's seen the light.

hahaha, that was a good one!

More likely, if slick was behind it-it was to put another nail in the coffin of the kerry campaign....setting it up for his first btch.

To Poster #219:

The picture you posted of Hitlery reminded me of one of the reasons that I detest the old bag of snot so much. In just about every picture I see of her she puts on this phony, practiced, surprised look of wide eyed delight as she supposedly spots someone she didn't expect to see in the crowd. I suppose this never loses it's appeal to the kool aid drinkers who long to be on the receiving end of, "the look".
Watch he on TV as she works a crowd. Each person she comes to gets that sudden, wide eyed direct stare and smile of pleased surprise. Very practiced, very deliberately chosen for effect. I've read that Hitler could work a room in the same way.

[ohiobluesuiter]

Has there been any confirmation of this other than our beloved (gag) LA Times? My blood pressure is up enough already and I don't want to get too excited if this isn't true... Please say it is true...

[MistyCA]

LOL! Sorry. I have broken my own rule and pinged a couple times, but I hope it is a good thing!

1972 Email Casts Doubt on Bush Guard Service

E-mail in 1972?...LOL!

[SevenofNine]

FR you better dig up everything on Hillary I don't want bow down to Queen Bee Hillary

[Rushmore Rocks]

Misty, thanks for all the pings.

Is this fun, or what?

They might find Ms. Rodham's original forgeries under her bed.

I'll say this about Hitlery - I don't think she can operate without Slick. He's the gifted one, and always has been - she's just going along for the ride. If she had anything to do with this (and she well might have), it was through Bill's ideas.
