"This is great, I'm printing and framing this and giving it to myself as a retro-birthday present, you see it started on my b-day, Sept 9th. I love it and I love Freerepublic"

Excellent!!! It's my birthday too (50 yrs. old). Wasn't it the best birthday present of all? The excitement and anticipation was great.

Absolutely delicious recap of the Rathergate scandal. But, I'm still a little hungry...where's my dessert? That is, the latest developments---ZERO see-BS experts supporting the docs, Staudt denying the fake but 'accurate' story, and Mr. Burkett of Abilene Kinko's fame...(infamy?)/p

I've been so loving this story it's been rather an unproductive week...LOL!

This has all the makings of a great made-for-TV movie.

When this is all over, this is going to make for a helluva movie.

With a few necessary improvements, such as changing the network to a Fox lookalike, and the president to a Kerry lookalike.

You heard it here first.

Although we just lived through it, it's REALLY a nice feeling to read such a well told blow by blow.

This is a story for the history books, and Rather's obit.

Actually, when Hollywood makes the movie, the network will be Fox and the fraud will be the Swiftvets. Mark my word.

Also a blog usually have one (or a few) person running it and making the primary post while everyone else comments on those.

Good point.

Lucky for me, my computer here doesn't generate speech. It'd be like the 'pit' at the echanges.

You're probably right, and it wouldn't suprise me one bit.

BUMP (this is an easier way to point out a story I guess.)

Thus, a lone helpful comment at FreeRepublic.com gets quickly elevated into the spotlight, while the multitude of cranky grumblings disappear down the memory hole.

Alright a show of hands... who were the cranky ones that night
