Wow! What a "60 Minutes Tonight"

[Steely_Dan]

I don't think that the fact that she doesn't remember typing them is as important as the contant...

And her statement that Bush felt that he didn't have to follow the ruoles...This is not good for W.

3. The Rethug Machine

I wonder how the rethug machine is going to respond to an 86 year old woman? How are they going to threaten her or besmirch her character? Are they going to portray her as a nice old lady whose memory isn't what it used to be? Are we going to have family members on Faux news telling us that sometimes she forgets she has a kettle on the boil? I know these are "how low can they go?" kinds of questions here, but the rethugs are real bottom-feeders. Nothing would surprise me.

8. They'll ignore her. And focus on FORGERIES!!!

It's an ugly word - they are drawn to it.

4. I wish they had had her on and skipped all the document stuff...

they have become a huge distraction...Kerry finally says something really punchy--"excuse President" but I'm afraid he'll be drowned out by all this.

They could have just interviewed her as Killian's secretary and left it at that....who would have cared about any documents????

5. I think they did it because House members wrote a letter

Their letter of condemnation was based on the documents so perhaps that is the reason for talking about them. I agree with you that the important stuff is being ignored.......of course, that shouldn't be a shock to us!

6. I think it took the original story to scare her up.

CBS probably didn't know she existed before this. I got the impression she came forward to help set the record straight.

7. Don't forget to email! [e-mail]

As you can imagine, Rather and the program have been getting lots of hate mail. We need to counteract that.

Here is the thread where we discussed emailing, along with a *WONDERFUL* interview with Rather that will give you even more respect for him:
