Roger that. There are already DUmmies who
simultaneously hold the postions that:
* the memos are legit
AND
* are also a Karl Rove dirty trick.
Conservative conspiracy theories can't hold a candle to
liberal excuses, depending on how you define "define".
I meant T shirt.
This wasn't opposition research, Bentsen was already chosen as Dukakis' running mate. They were trying to get ahead of the story, if any.

Well, that would be consistent with "Dem-sourced", but
we do have the curious matter of USA Today getting their
copies of the fiction independently (if we take their
word for it).
Anymouse, great find! Redcoat LI--great dot connecting. Been thinking how all this turns up around the same time Kerry & Co added ex-Clintonites, too.

Well, we now have a whole TV series "Mythbusters" devoted
to stomping out this kind of thing, but I agree with you
that "inept deliberate Dem fraud" is a simpler explanation
than "escaped prank".
We certainly have no shortage of motivated and more than
sufficiently incompetent Dem hacks who could have
authored these memos using supporting props from the
real Bush ANG jacket.
Your two samples don't even come close to overlaying exactly as do MS Word reproductions - using Word defaults - and the "1973" memos. Nobody denies that fonts and technology existed in 1973 which could produce those memos, only that:
a) it would be very unlikely that a typewriter this expensive would be used by the TANG in 1973
b) that a man whose widow says "he did not type" would be the only one to use it (no other documents like these in the records)
c) that the same man would take the time to do the fairly complex typesetting necessary and that
d) it would line up, by pure concidence, as an exact match to an MS Word doc. (as, again, these two examples do not.)
I buried Paul.
Another Jammy Whammy!!

Thanks! Good find, Bookmarking, Bump, Bttt
Us longterm FReepers don't need PJs, we FReep naked. ;)
It must be Registered's fault. Only he would put out such an obvious PhotoShop job. ;) Can't blame C-BS, why who were they to know that they had been h0aXed by the best. :)
That's more MS Word auto-style artifacts. The forger stupidly didn't even proof-read his own work. Must have been in a rush to make a dead-line.
