Have at him!
Thank God that's over... burp.
Didn't 60 Minutes used to be on Sunday nights?
Well, what IS this about.....it's over????
FGS, that's the biggest nothing I've ever seen.
But Dan was SO serious!
How many times did that guy just say "power"? LOL
you mis-heard. he said "I'd like to tell you that I lost sleep, but the truth is I didn't..."
Kerry was busy committing treason while Bush was in the Guard. How's that for a 5 star resume? X44? Nope.
They are not in the style that we used when I came in to the USAF. They looked like the style and format we started using about 12 years ago (1992). Our signature blocks were left justified, now they are rigth of center...like the ones they just showed.
Can we get a copy of those memos?
This is 60 Minutes II. And a total waste of airwaves, if I do say so.
CBS ratings are so low that few people will be watching this Rather pathetic "investigative report." I'm one of them.
Larry Korb is a leftist pimp, with no credibility in this house. None. He's made his bed, now he can lie in it.
This is a crock!
Don't we have many brave soldiers in Iraq right now that are in the National Guard?
What a disservice to these outstanding people.
When will 60 minutes cover Kerry's UN American activities?
Larry Korb is a leftist pimp, with no credibility in this house. None. He's made his bed, now he can lie in it.
B-i-L's father pulled strings and had him stationed in Germany. It went on all over the states and at all levels.
Ah, shows how much I know about See-BS.
"I got an email from the Swifties asking me to match my last donation. I'm retired, but opened up my billfold, and after the moths came flying out, reached in and took out one of my credit cards and dashed off another donation to them. It's all in the memory of my brother Bill, who served with Co. C, 4th Btn, 23rd Infantry (Mech.), 25th Infantry Division, Vietnam 1966-67. I'm fighting this bastard for him."
Good show! That touched my heart. Thanks.
Well THAT was much ado about nothing, wasn't it? LOL
"Essentially, Bush gamed the system to avoid serving his country the way that most of his contemporaries had to."

I'll just have to assume that Rather offered the correct disclosure and stated at the end that Ben Barnes is a huge contributer to the Kerry campaign.
This even exceeded my expectations. Rather is Biased beyond anything I've ever seen.
It's hysterical. The number 1 book in the Country never got any attention. Rather only mentioned it to discredit it.
This is really something else.
Rather is my least favorite person on the planet.
'Kerry had quite a few people; how did HE get into the Naval Reserve? How did he get out early????'
I think Kerry got the bum's rush from the other officers who didn't want him around anymore and helped him jack up his medals to get out of there- I think Kerry is hiding a mental case thing, and the Swifties are black-mailing him into apologizing to the Nation, instead of revealing it.
They looked ODD, didn't they?
Here is their web site, but I don't see it:

If, and I mean if, these memos are genuine, then this is a very big deal.
Interesting--CBS didn't emphasize the Barnes interview--but focused on the found documents.
This is a paper trail that might have legs.
The documents CBS used are FRAUDS!!!!!!!!
Ben Barnes is a crook. Read Texas history. Enough said.
How's that?
I was shocked to hear Evan Thomas explain to Imus that the time Kerry enlisted was two full years before GWB served and by then the nation was sick with the war and everyone was trying their utmost to get out of serving. He's convinced that had Kerry waited two years, he would have tried his utmost to get a deferment.
Details........please. Site for legal forms of documents?
Kia
Zelnorn
Sprint
UPS Store

I think I'll start with Campbells and see what they think of this.
Did you hear anything new? I sure didn't.
Bartlett was generally ineffective. His demeanor isn't very good. Fidgety and he isn't that good at communicating. Odd that he is the Dir. of communications.
Unless that transmitter in your head is still working....I doubt that they will know if you are watching. But then again....maybe it is working.
Aren't you also worried about Predator...picking up your e-mails?
When Bush joined that unit it had many unfilled opeinngs.
In Regular guard units one could spend 6 months on active duty and then spend 5.5 years of once a month weekend drills.
For Bush's unit one spent nearly as much time on active duty as a draftee and then still had to do the week end drills for years.
If one was avoiding the draft there were far better choices then the one taken by president bush.
I had a similar circumstance in 1964. I left ohio for a short term job in Iowa. Like Bush I did not leave my home state Guard. I was just ordered to train with the Iowa guarnd unit. The problem for me was the Iowa Guard did not want to spend the money to train an OHio guardsman.
I attended NO drills in Iowa.. The Iowa guard did not want to train me for no money.
The media makes me very angry. They promote the spin even when to anyone who knows the facts , the spin is nothing but a bunch of lies.
Is it over? I went out to pick some tomatoes during the commercial break, and I come back to some story about hormones? Dan shot his wad.......SPITBALLS!
BARNES IS A BIG KERRY FUNDRAISER.
DID DAN BLATHER TELL HIS AUDIENCE THAT?
IF NOT, HE IS A FU*KING JOKE OF A JOURNALIST.

Who is Ben Barnes
No I didn't hear anything new at all. But I didn't really get a good look at those documents Dan Blather presented (was distracted as usual).
Well that was a big bunch of nothing.The only thing that came from 60 minutes is that Dan Rather is a shameless mouthpiece for Kerry!If they really had something big,don't you think they would have spent the whole show on it?
Not unless you're a Nielsen family.
I think the Republicans should lock and load now.
People will judge President Bush on his record as the Commander In Chief in the last four years and his record is very good.
Our house joins your house.
What were they supposed to be?

"Hotline: Busted! FCC to levy $550G fine for Jackson's flash
By Sandra Kent from Herald staff and wire reports
Wednesday, September 8, 2004
The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to levy a $550,000 fine against CBS-owned stations for Janet Jackson's Super Bowl ``wardrobe malfunction.''
The nation's broadcast watchdog will announce the fine in the next week or two, according to several news reports. All five commissioners are expected to approve the fine, although some on the panel believe the penalty isn't harsh enough. Jackson's brief breast flash, which came at the end of the Super Bowl halftime show, spurred both houses of Congress to consider giving the FCC greater power to penalize broadcasters. The House has passed a bill increasing maximum fines, and the Senate is working on a similar measure.
:"Hey CBS - SCR$W YOU!"
oops!
Barnes is a fraud. Greg Knap on KLIF pointed that out today...he also interviewed Will Campenni who flew with Bush.
I am doing a write up of that and will post soon.
AS FAR AS BARNES....
Earlier today...Hannity said that Barnes swore under oath in 1999 that he did not help Bush get into the Guard.
ALSO...It seems that in the past...Barnes has claimed that he helped Bush get into the Guard when he was LT Gov.
The radio made the point that Bush went into the Guard in 68......Barnes was not Lt. Gov until 1969.
(digging up confirmation on that)
The liberal college prof that they showed...has actually done work with the DNC and is friends with Hill Clinton.
I thought it desperate that 60 minutes would say...they had an expert look at the supposed documents to see if a guy really wrote them. THEY WERE TYPED DOCUMENTS.
They guys who they said had the documents...has come out in the past and admitted they were not real. He is dead not...so Rather thought...why not try it again.
What documents are you referring to?
I got a request also; will be giving them some more money later this evening.
