Rather and CBS will detail the authentication of the docs later tonight AND... CNN appears to have taken the "disputed memo" story off their headline list. Perhaps CNN now knows that the docs are legitimate?

"Blap!" (sound of a watermelon dropped from a four-story building or a freeper's head exploding) :)

1. Wolf Blizter just had a new CBS statement
the "th" superscript WAS on typewriters in the 70's. That's OVER.

2. Regrettably, that happens right as NPR starts a shill
on the possibly faked memos - complete with some dubious forensic dude on.

This crap goes beyond memos - its media malfeasance now.

9. the only valuable thing about listening to this stuff is that we can blitz
them with complaint and facts, once they've established their position of misstating the news.

11. That sounds more like Bloom County
That was the noise that Opus (or whoever) would make when giving someone a raspberry.

I miss Bloom County.

6. Yeah, it's bogus
They've got to stop believing everything the right says just because it fills airtime. A five-minute check of Bush's other guard documents would reveal that the "th" did exist, and that was their major argument.

7. Could this

Be a real hit to the Chimperor...? We only need a couple % points to get Kerry back in front.

Then Kerry can close the Shrub out in the debates....We need something to really get momentum back.

We all know Chimp is a draft dodging hypocritical chickenhawk...Now we just need to prove it.

8. Debunked or not
Edited on Fri Sep-10-04 04:20 PM by zwade
This story is forever. It will be mentioned every time AWOL is now mentioned. it will be spun to apply it to the entire AWOL charge.

In 30 days take a poll and say:
"Was the Bush AWOL story based on forged documents?"

The answer will forever be 49% yes AT A MINIMUM

21. Oh, you don't want to know.
That came from a website some guy has, where he (yes, HE) dresses up as "Jennifer". This middle aged man likes to dress up as little girls. Sorry, I don't recall the url. I don't suppose you're too disappointed. I just shopped Georgie's face onto it. Seemed appropriate.

22. You're right. That url can remain in obscurity. ;)
I like the "can I have a purple heart" pic, too. :)

23. That Wizard of Oz picture is incorrect in portraying Junior and Dick
Junior should be the scarecrow, as he obviously needs a BRAIN. And we all know about Uncle Dick's heart problems, so he'd be the Tinman.

20. don't hold your breath
Fox is not in the business of admitting being wrong. They don't do journalism and never reported forgeries as fact. Rather they just did their usual some experts say fabrication to make stuff up.
