[HIDEK6]

I know all of you work tirelessly

This is such a stupid cliche. I don't know anyone who works tirelessly.

[Just mythoughts]

A simple question, how did JFKerry get Secretary of Navy Lehman's signature/autopen in 1986 while JFKerry was a sitting senator?

Lehman has said he did not write the citation and he did not sign it.

[Max7]

Hey, that's a GREAT IDEA ! Somebody should point this very obvious option out to them. I'm sure they have suffered a great deal of emotional distress for which they should be compensated by CBS, not to mention DBS using forged documents which impugn their father's/husband's by attributing statements and documents to him that he did not make or render.

[Lexington Green]

If it's Max Cleland, he won't get far on foot. [Apologies to Callahan]

[codercpc]

Someone in the MSM (Carl Cameron is already bringing up this point) has to point out that the two people CBS has interviewed, are extreme partisans. Burkett has a personal vendetta, and the secretary has said that "Bush was selected not elected".

[mcenedo]

They also need the intellectual heft of a college professor.

How about the guy who wrote "Arming of America" (or some such thing).

[Max7]

Oops - not DBS - s/b CBS.

[Prime Choice]

Many of you have expressed understandable concern about the disputed documents...

Hell, anyone with a modicum of ethics would have resigned their position at CBS over that "news" agency's most shameful perversion of reporting.

I had the displeasure of working for one corrupt business in my life. When I discovered how deep the corruption ran, I immediately scored another job and got the hell out.

[Shermy]

As we've noted, an email from Bill Burkett indicates that he gave materials to Max Cleland for use in the campaign.

Are you sure about that exactly? What e-mail?

[kesg]

Disabled or not, if this proves true, then Cleland is nothing but a bitter, hateful hack.

We already knew that, but it would prove further that he helped participate in a massive fraud and may have done so with the approval of the Kerry campaign.

[Indie]

The documents are a fake, there's no reason to keep the distributor's identity a secret. Unless, of course, you want to hide connections to the Kerry campaign and prevent any political fallout.

[LadyJMayo]

I'm still wondering about the Lehman signature discrepancy as well. Lehman did come out and say he never signed that. So why has it just been allowed to drop? IMO, this will have to come up again at some point. Maybe the Navy is quietly investigating.

[DouglasKC]

Hey, CBS NEWS, if you really want to do some investigative reporting, tell us where the docs came from ORIGINALLY. Burkett is nothing but a patsy. WHO gave the docs to him??? HMMM???

No kidding...come on CBS NEWS report the news and tell who it is that is giving you FORGED documents that were used to smear a sitting president of the United States. That is a HUGE news story....

And NBC ABC and FOX you ought to be all over this like a fly on stink.

[lawgirl]

an interview with Bill Burkett, the former Guard officer who provided the memos to 60 MINUTES WEDNESDAY;

Congrats Bloggers. The usurpation of MSM is now complete!

[Cyclone59]

what the internal memo really said....

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

BLAH BLAH

It is a shame CBS News cannot prove that the documents are authentic, we still think they are but we are not going to tell anybody. Dan is safe here at CBS for as long as he wishes to stay.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH
BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

Now get back to work on destroying the President, but please remember to use the typewriter in Dan's office for any future memos.

What is/was Cleland's actual position in the Kerry campaign durign the relevant time frame? Seems like that makes it Kerry's problem not to mention Cleland's.

[maizey]

CBS:

Liar Liar, Pants on Fire.

[GalaxieFiveHundred]

Dear CBS News Colleagues,

LET THEM EAT CAKE!
