Are you picking up CNN's interview of Mary Mapes?

[The Backlash Cometh]

Howard Kurtz vs. Mary Mapes. Pretty spicey.

[liveoaktx]

1. Is this live or a rerun?

[The Backlash Cometh]

3. No clue.

But Howard is looking a little less credible now that we know that swiftboat tactics exist.

9. Any video's of this yet?

I'm reading her book now. So far it's pretty good.

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. Apparently CNN has a repeat interview of Mapes and Kurtz,

interviewed by Blitz. Kurtz looks like a deer caught in the headlights.

[The Backlash Cometh]

2. Talking about controversial swiftboating of CBS controversy

i.e. Bush's service record. Blitz tried to cut her off when she mentioned conservative bloggers.

4. I just finished reading her book. It's excellent -- must read!

She lays it all out, stands by the authenticity of the documents, and really takes after the other lazy, biased media. I'm glad she kicked Whoreward Kurtz in the ass.

[The Backlash Cometh]

5. Kurtz looked like a man who knows his time is almost up.

He's going to look like a swiftboater, instead of a reporter once the mainstream learns what really happened.

6. That was a rerun,Saw it before Old news???????

[The Backlash Cometh]

7. Damn. Does that mean it doesn't have legs?

8. I know B*sh ain't no fighter pilot,

Doesn't have it in him.

I have listened to Mapes - she is honest. I know fighter pilots, grew up around them - and I can truly understand why B*sh was ostracized.

This guy - running our country - is a total reject - by the people he claims elected him.

He may have the best publicity machine ever - but I know, what goes around comes around. And I KNOW he is not as advertised. Look in his eyes - it is just not there.

Mapes got it right. And the evidence has to be out there. Even this creton cannot count every angle. She should be proven right, she is right, basically.

B*sh is scary. Seems to be able to warp all fabrics of our society. But I know how lose the guard was, too. And I know fighter pilots. And I deeply respect the independence, ego that goes with it.

I grew up with it - and I know he doesn't have it.

When MCgovern ran for president, and he did not advertise it, I did see that same knowing glint in his eyes, about war. And it turned out he did fly 24's in the Med. You could see in his eyes, he did really, truly know war. And by extension, you could see how much "W" does not.

10. Anyone who knows

their Bush family 101 knows Bush was awol. Poppy at least did his service.

[0007]

18. Snot McClellen on junior's coke snorting days at Yale.

When J H Hatfield asked Scott McClellan to comment on the allegation of a former Yale classmate of Bush's that the presidential hopeful was arrested for cocaine possession in 1972 and had his record expunged in exchange for community service at Project P.U.L.L., the Bush campaign spokesman said, "Oh, shit," followed by, "No comment."

McClellan denies that the exchange ever occurred. "I never spoke to the guy, and I'm not aware that anyone at the campaign has spoken to him," he told Salon News.

Of course Hatfield can't counter from the grave.

[newspeak]

19. yes, Poppy did his service

but I still want to know about the two airmen who lost their lives when Poppy bailed out of the plane. And then there is Grandpa who sent a letter home telling mama what a great hero he was and she had it printed in he paper, only later to find out it was a figment of his imagination. It's amazing how some can make heroes out of paper tigers and denigrate real heroes. Simply amazing.

[The Backlash Cometh]

13. Mapes looked like she was very disappointed by the way other

reporters attacked her piece without warrant. She urged them to do the research they should have done back then. It's just a matter of time before the world knows what you know. He's not a fighter pilot.

[Joe for Clark]

15. The other reason I know she will be proven right,

I know just how cheap the guard was. When Dad died, I got to read those orders.

I know anything reflecting on this SOB was duped at least 15 other times on an order. I am an accountant. And a pretty good auditor.

And I know, as you do, you can't be in two places at once. SO, a photo, a canceled check, any doc that shows he was in one place when he SHOULD have been on duty - and he goes the way of the dodo. I saw his flight hours - I'd laugh if it were not so painful.

It is there - and those guys that WERE fighter pilots know it.

In my life, I have never seen a tighter family than fighter pilots - they stick up for each other. The fact they were not this election speaks VOLUMES.

This guy is not as advertised, and the evidence has to be there.

I know Mapes got it right - even if I can't put my finger on it - I know someone CAN.

And, I trust, will.

16. Thanks for sharing your information and observations.

[Joe for Clark]

17. I do wish I was sharing something new.

I know it isn't.

I know what I saw and didn't see in B*sh's eyes. And I know, probably, 15 people in the US do know the truth.

At least that number.

Where are they???
