"FORGED" BUSH
SERVICE RECORDS?
Dupes and Skeptics

From Hullabaloo courtesy of Eschaton:

First, contrary to the malarky that the Wurlitzer began circulating almost immediately, every single so-called anomoly in the douments that made them questionable could have been produced by typewriters in use at the time. The press jumped the gun and the "experts" were wrong.

Second, CBS had every reason to be extremely careful with its quotes on this story. Hodges, the Bush supporter, has every reason to lie about what he told CBS now that the documents have been called into question. His babbling about handwritten vs typewritten makes no sense. He admits that Killian had very high standards and didn't hold with pilots not meeting them. Therefore, it's not reasonable to assume that Hodges saying that he told CBS "if he wrote it, it must be true" is more credible than CBS's original quote. Indeed, it is ridiculous.

Third, the statements of Killian's family are irrelevant compared to the statement of Strong who handled Killian's work documents and others like it at the time. Unless you believe that spouses and children have better direct knowledge of workplace events than co-workers, that is the only conclusion to which you can come.

Karl Rove, political advisor, former student of GOP sleaze-monger Lee Atwater, and Bush's brain, is a master of slime, lies, and misdirection: the President was a pampered draft dodger who skipped out on months of National Guard duty and had powerful family friends help him get away with it; Rove and his minions, however, have played the media like a fiddle with their latest damage control efforts. Meanwhile the Kerry campaign, in a foggy haze of retro political strategy, continues to bring the wrong weapon to what they thought was a knife fight. When will the Democrats develop big enough balls to rip Rove's foul black heart out of his fetid thoracic cavity?
