NEW YORK -- Yesterday, Goliath CBS News was delivered a smooth stone to the forehead by a FReeper.
A poster in the FreeRepublic.com conservative news forum mentioned something peculiar about two documents CBS’s 60 Minutes claimed on September 8 were generated by now deceased Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian regarding an allegedly National Guard-evading George W. Bush in 1973.
Within minutes following the broadcast, FReeper "TankerKC" wrote this to FReeper "Howlin'":
WE NEED TO SEE THOSE MEMOS AGAIN!
{snip]
Since then, news of the potential forgery glitch spread like wildfire from blog to blog and into the mainstream press - especially that of CBS competitors ABC and NBC.

Listening to Laura, Bill Benett, Rush and Hannity today, all were psyched - Rush seemed poetic. Watching Fox News (and CBS tonight) was surreal... participating in supporting our President... in a very real sense... being part of it... it's just amazing.
Congratulations, everyone!

Man, I bet those original VRWC Secret Decoder Rings are bringing in a pretty penny these days on E-Bay. Especially those with the built-in brain wave ray detectors and automatically deploying tinfoil-hat protection device. Second only to the VRWC mug that changes ovaltine into a magic elixir that makes one able to detect lies and slander amid the blather of the MSM. With mug and ring we are invincible!
