Matley the handwriting expert:
"John Kerry's long, slow loops show him to be a sensitive man who understands the needs of older women (with billion dollar trust funds). Note how his handwriting slants, at different times, in opposite directions, showing a remarkable flexibility in his point of view. The various accouterments to his signature suggest someone prone to embellish the way he presents himself to the world."
If the document doesn't exist in an original, how can Rather say ANYTHING about the signature?
You are 100% correct. Easily faked 'scan and paste.'
In our era with all the graphics packages available -- can it be photoshopped onto a word processor page so that no "paste" lines appear? Yep, an eraser tool on my photoshop will do that.
I wonder if Marcel did Kerry's "replacement" citations?
