Grrr! I knew they were going to make Mary Mapes the fall-gal! What a bunch of crybabies.

This is the Lefts spin machine at it's best. This women will fall on the knife, and no one else will ever get a scratch.

"It is obviously against CBS News standards and those of every other reputable news organization to be associated with any political agenda," . . .

Such pure, unadulterated bullsh*t. Why even put up the front, folks? CBS remains a reputable news organization alright. Their reputation is that of DNC shills.

CBS is setting up their scapegoats for the slaughter.

Rather will skate merrily along and Mr. & Mrs. Dumbass will keep tuning in to get their daily dose of hog slop from the Telly.

Nothing new here...move along.

What a total crock. CBS will continue to spin this and avoid admitting the truth that they were going to get Bush no matter what it took. Anone who thinks this was just a "mistake" is from another planet. This was a deliberate smear and they never expected to get caught.

it seems to me, i remember some top guy at 60 minutes bragging that he got bill clinton elected (the first time) by editing clinton's 60 minutes interview ("i have made mistakes in my marriage") to make clinton look good.

Ya, but she'll be bucking for a cushy appointment in the alternate universe where Kerry wins.

Mary... In the REAL universe you could make a bundle by not being the patsy.

I know that we have discussed President Bush’s Air Guard service sited by CBS's forged documents but the Air Force Manual that the documents refer to has nothing to do with Flying Boards or meeting Flight Physical Standards. In the 70s the manual that covers these items is AFM 160-1. AFM 160-1 contains the actual schedule and other requirements about these medical exams.

Now Kerry on his web site on 27 Apr 2004 raised the following question:

FACT:
Bush Was Suspended From Flight Duty For Failing To Take Mandated Medical Exam. On September 29, 1972, Bush was officially suspended from flying for missing his annual medical examination. The orders note that Bush’s suspension is authorized under the guidelines presented in Air Force Manual 35-12 Para 2-29m, which reads that Bush’s local commander “will direct an investigation as to why the individual failed to accomplish the medical examination.” [Aeronautical Orders, Number 87, 29 Sept 72; AFM 35-13, Para 2-29m] Where Are the Complete Results of the Required Investigation into Bush’s Absence from the Exam?

We now know that the memo's were completely bogus and the reference to
AFM 35-15 was a ruse by the person that forged the documents to add a touch of realism.

My question is this:
How does the Kerry campaign explain away the fact that they and the CBS memos cite the same bogus Air Force Manual 35-13 without being in contact with each other. Two groups just dreaming up the same non-existent manual goes way beyond coincidence?

"It is obviously against CBS News standards and those of every other reputable news organization to be exposed as being associated with any political agenda," the network said in a statement.

Five years? That's not an investigation -- it's an agenda!!!

CBS Says Producer Violated Policy by Putting Source in Touch With Kerry Aide

Wait just a friggin' minute. NOW cBS is saying they had the source FIRST? Is cBS falling on the sword to protect the DNC? I thought it had been established the DNC had the memos first, then sent them to cBS after they determined the memos were fraudulent. How else could the DNC have incorporated elements mentioned in the memos into some of their campaign ads running long before the memos were released by cBS?

Enquiring minds want to know.

If they fire her, she will spill the beans. We know it all was a plot with the Kerry campaign.

What a bunch of crimminals, the whole lot of them.
The Democrat party is finnished. They will continue on with the worst smear and lie campaign ever seen, because they have nothing to loose.

This needs to be addressed at the debates.

Questions need to be asked.
