In other news...
the Sinclair Broadcasting News program 'Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal' is actually a Michael Moore-type publicity stunt aimed at triggering a Dem reaction.

Will it work ??

Two major problems:

1. CBS is showing zero (0) interest in discovering the
real author of these docs and how they got to CBS.

2. They are such low-quality fakes that the odds were
that they would get detected rather than aired, with
a high risk of serious backfire.

While Carlos the Jackal may be misguided, there are quite a few people in Corpus Christi who have their heads on straight.

Although, I do believe that Karl Rove and Bush, are playing chess. And Kerry and the Dims are playing checkers.
Truth. The whitehouse were given the papers on the day of the airing. The whitehouse examined them and then gave a copy to the MSM.

This is the same line of logic the Arabs use against the Jews...

The only way this theory would make any sense would be if the Republicans arranged for a Democrat mole to find the documents in a way he couldn't possibly do legitimately.

That actually would be a somewhat sensible plan if the purpose was to out the mole. That it accomplished much more than that is simply gravy.

good grief ! yo...Carlos...
In case you missed it, Michael Moore said he turned down the same documents months before CBS had their hands on them, because he couldn't verify that they were legit.

How scary is that..C-ratherBS used what Michael Moore turned down ?

For one thing, that Republicans routed out the fakes is no surprise, since the Democrats wouldn't be looking, CBS being a prime example. And if, by some chance, Karl Rove planned it all, we sure need folks like that in Washington to deal with the Iranians and the North Koreans.

Let's see... It's pretty late, so my imagination is faltering, but there just *has* to be something that could be "leaked" to the idiot that wrote this, to send him spiraling off into a never-never-land of paranoid fantasy, that would cause him to *really* make an idiot of himself in print and finish him off as a "journalist"...

Ideas?

Carlos, you ignorant slut. Stick to the alien abduction theory, it is more credible.

LOL!...FAR more credible.

Media Research Center:
Dan Rather on Bill Clinton:
"I think he’s an honest man."

   O’Reilly: "I want to ask you flat out, do you think President Clinton’s an honest man?"
    Rather: "Yes, I think he’s an honest man."
    O’Reilly: "Do you, really?"
    Rather: "I do."
    O’Reilly: "Even though he lied to Jim Lehrer’s face about the Lewinsky case?"
    Rather: "Who among us has not lied about something?"
    O’Reilly: "Well, I didn’t lie to anybody’s face on national television. I don’t think you have, have you?"
    Rather: "I don’t think I ever have. I hope I never have. But, look, it’s one thing-"
    O’Reilly, jumping in: "How can you say he’s an honest guy then?"
    Rather: "Well, because I think he is. I think at core he’s an honest person. I know that you have a different view. I know that you consider it sort of astonishing anybody would say so, but I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."
    O’Reilly: "Really?!?"
    Rather: "Yeah, I do."
    O’Reilly: "See, I can’t. I want my government to be honest across-the-board. I don’t want people lying."

BALLAD OF DAN RATHER

(Think "Beverly Hillbillies" theme song)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Dan,
The documents were fake and he didn't give a dam*;
He put 'em on the air, an' he thought he'd done the job,
But up from the web come a howlin' mob.

Blogs, that is.
Web logs.
Checkin' facts.

Well, the first thing you know ol' Dan's a-runnin' fast;
Made a false report an' it bit him in the a$$;
He said 'dog-gonnit, I done thought I'd get away!'
But it turned out to be his a-reckonin' day.

Busted, that is.
Red-faced.
Mud in the eye.

Well, now it's time to say goodbye to Dan and all his men;
And they would like to shoot you folks for turnin' them in;
You're all invited back next week to watch the Evening News,
And see which correspondent's picked to fill Dan's empty shoes.

Y'all come back, now, hear?
