[I'm ALL Right!]

de nada

[dirtboy]

There was no analysis of what the documents actually said, no work done to look at the content, no comparison with the official record, no phone calls made to check the facts of the story, nothing beyond a cursory and politically motivated examination of the typeface.

If you can show that the memo had to have been a forgery because of the typeface, none of that other stuff matters at all. Had this been a trial, the judge would have thrown the case out of court no matter what the other evidence and then gone out loaded for bear looking for who submitted perjurious evidence in his courtroom.

Does Amazon still plan to market her book of provable lies?

Do you have enough to sue whinny Mary and her publisher for perpetrating a lie against you?

I was told that the first posting claiming the documents were fakes had gone up on Free Republic before our broadcast was even off the air!

WE NEED TO SEE THOSE MEMOS AGAIN!

They are not in the style that we used when I came in to the USAF. They looked like the style and format we started using about 12 years ago (1992). Our signature blocks were left justified, now they are rigth of center...like the ones they just showed.

Can we get a copy of those memos?

The headline for the screed at St Martin's:

"TRUTH AND DUTY is the always fast, sometimes furious, and often unexpectedly funny story behind the collapse of one of America's great institutions."

Did you write this, PJ?

THE MAPES
OF RATH^ER

MARY: "It don't matter. I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you can look. Wherever there's a fax so hungry journalists can be duped, I'll be there. Wherever there's a blog beatin' up a lib, I'll be there. I'll be in the way DUmmies yell when they're mad--an' I'll be in the way FReepers laugh when they're amused an' they know the moonbats are barkin'. An' when the people are watchin' the stuff we make up, an' believin' the stories we report, I'll be there too."

DAN: "I don't understan' it, Mary."

MARY: "Me neither, Dan, but jus' sump'n I've been thinkin' about."

LOL....again. I agree....the most common threads on DU are FU this, FU that, or more commonly F Bush. Shows the infantile vocabulary of the followers of the "Democratic Al Quaida."

Yeah right in the first chapter she brags about how great and thorough her fact checking is, then she says buckhead posted his debunking of her story before it even aired on TV. He posted hours afterwards. Gross error right in the beginning of the book that a quick check would have revealed.

OK, now she's going to say that PJ-Comix blew her out of the water before she was even published! LOL

Man, you couldn't write stuff like this -- who would believe it! ;)

In her next book, Grounded Before Flying she will relate how she was maligned, misquoted, and taken out of context (although PJ posted the entire contents) by "the evil right wing blogs" in an attempt to quash the selling of her tome before it was even published.
