Yet again, Fake, but accurate...does sound like the Dan Rather response when the documents he used on the Bush National Guard story were exposed as fakes - the battle cry of the left - don't let the facts get in the way of what we want to believe is the truth......

Is there a student? Why can't anyone fond out his name?

Or was it the Dartmouth professor who made up this hoax ?

"find out"

[television is just wrong]

The entire Kennedy family are a charity case. They want all of us to pay taxes. When Old man Kennedy died, his assets had been hidden, they only paid a pittance of inheritance taxes on that fortune.

That makes the entire family an extremely wealthy charity case. We are all making up for what they are living on...

What a complete crock - This moron can't even put together a good lie without stepping all over his falsities. Rue number 1 in telling a lie - Don't involve anyone else in it or rely on others to corroborate any part of it.

That won't make any difference to the Libs who need this to be true and they'll get all the mileage they can out of it. As Mark Twain once said 'A lie can go around the World before the truth can get it's pants on'

Is there a student? Why can't anyone fond out his name? ...according to the Fox News report, there actually was a student who said he had been grilled by government agents about books he had borrowed from the library, but later under questioning admitted he had made up the story - they didn't mention any names or anything about a "professor"....

There was indeed a professor involved in promulgating the hoax to the press, without making any effort to corroborate it. His name is Dr. Brian Glyn Williams:

Sen. Kennedy, don't worry yourself too much over who wrote what. You need to bone up for your driver's test.

[null and void]

And the world would be a better place for it...

[Ditto]

Yep. The kid made it all up, but since when did Teddy let the facts get in the way of his political rants?
