It is notable that they no longer quote their document experts. The new story line is the big bad conservatives unfairly exposed the lies.

They are seriously wounded. We need to move in for the kill.

W going public with his thoughts on this today makes me think we have more arrows in our quiver.

I have followed their web-site story throughout this incident. This is the first version of the story that specifically excludes any mention of their belief or the belief of their document "experts" that the documents are real.

The story itself seems to confirm that CBS has thrown in the towel on the document authenticity.

They are now switching gears in an attempt to smear the bloggers and Republicans.

This is bizarre. Half of the article is about a freeper, and their discovery that a freeper is *gasp!* a conservative.

Why is that relevant? How does it help make them look less like bozos? They don't say.

Buckhead should be appointed to the US Supreme Court.

Because of this:

The revelation could fuel speculation among Democrats that Republicans have orchestrated efforts to debunk the CBS News story

In their dreams.

Suggesting that the guy who blew the whistle is a Pubbie activist is a bit beside the point isn't it? Does it really matter whether just who exposed the CBS debacle per the facts is a Pubbie activist, a Dem or Osama bin Laden? CBS's continual attempt to prop up its partisan exercise in journalistic malpractice is not only pathetic, but stupid. I guess CBS just isn't into stop loss orders.

The only purpose of this story is to stir the pot. It's like they are trying to say that anyone with an interest in this story is a wackjob of one stripe or another.

Based on this article, they seem to be moving away from the much-mocked argument that the memos are "fake but accurate."

Looks like they're going to try the "Karl Rove set us up" argument, at least for now. But that doesn't pass the guffaw test, so they'll have to think up some new argument pretty quick.

This is like watching the Clinton White House in its heyday -- I can't wait to see what they come up with next. Shameless liars can be quite creative and quite entertaining!

This story actually seems to be somewhat non biased.... For CBS it must have been painful to put out this story.

"... who identifies himself as a Democrat..."

It's hilarious that they spend several paragraphs "outing" Buckhead, but pass over that Burkett is a MAJOR Kerry fundraiser. No bias here. Move along, please...

Free Republic already has that job. I think it would be cool to have a Freeper on the Supreme Court.

MacDougald's associates believe he acted alone when he wrote his criticism of the documents

Are they referring to Buckhead or Lee Harvey Oswald?

Bush Guard Docs Flap Marches On

What does President Bush, or his campaign, or anyone remotely related to him, have to do with these "documents?"

They're foregeries!

That's like me referring to my "relationship with Laura Ingraham," because I once printed out a color picture of her and photoshopped myself into it.

Not that I did.

I mean, the picture thing. With Laura.

ahem.
