Operation Fortunate Son weighed heavily on the 60 Minutes reporting.

FWIW, found in a search this morning on "Fortunate Son":

Democratic Chairman Terry McAuliffe said the accusations were based on documents uncovered by the Associated Press and Boston Globe, not the disputed memos shown on “60 Minutes.”

But then Terry had to open his mouth to say that...which is a sure clue he just might be lying.

I didn't word that sentence correctly. What I intended to get across was that Operation Fortunate Son was launched when it was, so that it would gain credibility from the 60 Minutes piece. As the Democrats love to say, the timing is suspicious. It is interesting though that McAuliffe felt it was necessary to deny any connection to the 60 minutes "memos", even before Rather admitted that CBS could not authenticate them.
