Memorandum To File

20 Sep 2004
Mr. Ed Gillespie, Chairman RNC etc. etc. etc.

Dear Mr. Gillespie:

Love ya, Ed, but stop saying "faked forged memos." The redundancy is glaring and painful.

And try to give my mailbox a rest, will ya?

Y'all should check out DU if you're in need of a good laugh. They have formed a circular firing squad. Some true believers still insist the memos are authentic (that's too much for even most DUers) and are defending Burkett as a great patriot. There is also an "authentic re-creations" splinter faction. Sure enough some think Rove planned the whole thing. Most seem to be in a snit with Rather for taking the focus away from Kerry's brilliance on the issues. There are significant numbers who are now defeatist. One or two even mentioned Cleland as a possible smoking gun (grenade?).
