Blitzer is a whore
He ran with his report with NO Proof that the documents were forged, yet he lets the 'questions' linger longer than the answers. There have been as many or more answers than questions. Why weren't these represented in the same report. Bush couldn't have asked for a better smear team than the CNN gang.

Why do some still insist that we should drop this? It's obvious that OUR credibility is being questioned (again) without proof in the face of clear documented evidence. We need to stand firm on this and then bury these pretenders with their own bullshit.

1. Relax. Dan Rather and CBS are standing behind their story. That's all
that matters.

5. Dan is the last of the old skool journalists on television
Not only that, but I'm sure he was a pissed about the crap attack as we were. Probably more so, since it was his work they were disparaging.

As Walter Cronkite said to Dan Rather after Rather was assaulted by security on the floor of a political convention (I think '68 or '72), "Looks like a bunch of thugs to me, Dan."

8. Wolf did his job. He asked the guests the questions.
Ginsberg is a paid attorney who did his best to deter the discussion to another subject, but it didn't work.

Watch Dan on CBS NEWS at 6PM est, I think.

That's fine George, really pi** off the press! I'm sure they'll help you when you need them.

9. He gave Ginsberg some heat , finally,
well into his report. Blitzer does a discredit to his profession by brodcasting a report that cites 'Questions' by some with out attribution or proof of the validity of the 'questions'. This is the nature of news today. Any unsubstantiated attack is elevated as breaking news and the responses are relegated to an miserly afterword.

7. Why won't the Blitzkrieging Whore reveal the identities of his experts?
to know whether they are reliable or whores themselves? Why is Blitzkreiger saying that an Honorable Discharge is all that matters and it doesn't matter whether Bush disappeared for months at a time, was permanently grounded from flying, or disobeyed direct orders? Blitzkreiger has an enormous stake is seeing Bush elected because he was the number one war whore promoting the Iraq war in the media and, if the Chimp gets re-elected and then invades Iran, the Blitzkreiging Whore will be leading the pack again in beating the war drum.

13. Bush isn't saying the documents are forged
Dumb as he is, he isn't that dumb. The White House has basically acknowledged the authenticity of the memos, and it's their surrogates who are pumping this story. Or should I say "pimping" this story?

Anyway, can we now address the question raised by the memos: Did George Bush disobey a direct order? And can we trust an insubordinate deserter to run our country? Evidence of his first term strongly suggests the answer is "no."

14. As long as Bush hides behind his surrogates all questions raised
by the documents are in play, as are the responses by the surrogates. He will be tied to any defense they offer until he responds. So be it. Not much rope left for him to grab on to. Thankfully his supporters are giving him more. Just enough for us to hang him up with.

12. Time to thank CBS and Dan Rather
They are getting a lotta hate e-mails and telephone calls. They need to know we support what they are doing.
