He finds it suspicious that these right-wing bloggers (and he figures Buckhead is a plant, because of "how suspiciously well Buckhead puts sentences together for a righty blogger") could figure out these documents were frauds. He calls it an "extraordinary, yeah, boggling, knowledge of typewriting arcana". I'm no document expert, nor do I claim to be, but when I looked at the documents, I knew something was hinky, because they were typed in Times New Roman and not Courier. And you only have to remember how tough using a typewriter was back then to find the centering and the lack of errors on the documents unbelievable.
The real story here, and one the author is not interesed in, is that these documents were such obvious forgeries, that bloggers in their pajamas could figure out they were fake, while CBS still claims they're real.

I don't think they give out purple hearts for getting hurt in a campaign election.
No, I am buckhead! The author even mentions the beautiful way I turn a phrase compared to all you semi literate freepers!
He's onto us, guys -- if you can spell, you're an RNC plant!
Ah........... Here we go with the liberal condescension again. "Righty blogger?" What kind of term is that? These liberal dorks really need to read more widely and get around more.
The liberal journalists are all such Dorks.
The essence of the problem is much deeper than just the fake documents. It came up quite a few years back during the "culture wars" controversies of NEA funding of trash art and Mapplethorpe photos. The liberal media operates on a different "definition of reality" than normal Americans. The essence of this is that normal Americans are regarded as insane semi-retarded kooks by liberal media elites. This perception makes them think that they can get away with anything, that they can make up the rules then change them whenever they feel like it, as if no one will notice.
Well, they're caught with their pants down on this one. And the CBS circus clowns are going to have a hard time trying to convince people that nothing bizarre happened. They can no longer control the "definition of reality" anymore. Their old monopoly on controlling the news, controlling what people are supposed to imagine as real, is over. Their contempt for the American people is showing. "The Emperor wears no clothes."
Dan Rather is down on all fours barking like a dog and everyone is able to notice. The CBS style of Pravda propaganda, Walter Cronkiteism, is OVER. Their ratings have been going down for years. CBS is ready to be wrapped in mothballs at The Smithsonian. Future generations will gaze in wonder at how absurd it was that Americans ever depended upon a bunch of condescending quiche liberals from New York for news about the world and the rest of reality.
Kenneth doesn't know the frequency anymore. It's time for the men in white coats with the butterfly net to take him away.

What they overlook is the wide spectrum of people that FR attracts. Military people, Doctors, Lawyers, Scientists.
I'm just waiting for my expertise to be called upon. Then you'll all know just how smart I am.
No, I am Buckhead!!
No, wait....I am...

I am Buckhead.
Yup. Right wing yokels like us don't know nuthin'.
We caint rite, most uv us'n caint read, and we shore as heck don't know whut a "font" is.
Guess that pruves it. "Buckhead" is Karl Rover, and the forgd docs are a right wing scheme to get Cbs caught in their own panties.
Scuse me. I gotta go shoot me sum poachers on the back 40 with my assualt rifle.
Gosh durn! He forgot to mention that Lt. Lloyd Bentson III (son of former Democratic V.P. Candidate) and Cpt. John Connelly III(son of Democratic Texas Governor) were in Bush's unit at the same time frame.
What a dumbass; anyone who lived through PC revolution (e.g. typed papers in college and then met PCs later) is somewhat conversant with the basics of fonts and the difficulties associated with producing clean doc's off a typewriter. This fiasco is a perfect storm. Probably a young whippersnapper (who never used a typewriter) produced it and an old fogey (who never really used a PC) approved it. Neither knew how obvious it would be to someone who really lived through the WYSIWYG transition.
Oh, my gosh, Mr. Anson is in such agony he can hardly lie! My sympathies, Bobby-boy - your boys at CBS got caught, and that's the bottom line. Put some ice on it.
I love reading vitriolic backlash from the leftist media. It only confirms that not only did we hit a nerve, we blew a gaping hole in the aorta.
