Feel the buzz. Contrary to what I had originally understood, the Ben Barnes interview is running Wednesday evening. But, I'm told by several sources that the Barnes' interview is only a relatively small part of the package 60 Minutes is running. There's other stuff that CBS has -- newly discovered, or at least newly-revealed, documents that shed light on Bush's guard service or lack thereof.

2. That sounds good.

I'm really glad it wasn't run on Sunday as it was a holiday weekend and this way it could be a good lead into the weekend and get talked about more. I hope that our Dems don't run away from this.

3. Hmm... Time for Ridge to warm up the Orange alert

Or maybe they'll defrost Osama...

4. Wonder if CBS will air it. Perhaps CBS has an October surprise plan

of its own.

CBS is the only one out there that has a dedicated news team which must be fending off attacks for its existance. Hopefully this is the issue upon which they make their stand.

5. CBS showed the Abu Ghraib photos and has done other stories

I suspect that CBS has a good contact inside the CIA or the Pentagon.

LAST month I reported biographer Kitty Kelley's coming Bush family vivisection has, what she considers, "five major revelations," one of which is a supposedly documented inch-by-inch on Dubya's so-called missing-year service record. I now report a big-time TV magazine show is on that case. Wrapping up footage even as we speak. Kitty, who's done her jobs on Nancy, Jackie, Elizabeth, Sinatra etc., has a publication date later this month. Because of television's imminent revelations, the publisher is trying to hustle things, which, at this point, doesn't seem do-able.
