And if you believe that it was a coincidence I'm sure you also believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus.

How long was it after the CBS memos aired that Kerry's commercial using the memos started running?

How long does a commercial like that usually take to plan and make?

CBS report: Sept. 8 evening
Kerry fortunate son ad: Sept. 9 day

so less than 24 hours...and I can guarantee you it takes far longer to produce an ad and distribute it.

There's an FR thread running right now highlighting that Terry McAwful started using the term "sugar-coat" before CBS aired the document that used it.

Coincidence?? No freakin' way.
