I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I believe the documents CBS put out there re: Bush and the National Guard are forgeries produced in MS Word, and I’ll be very surprised if it turns out to be otherwise, so I’m embarassed for CBS as they scramble to try to make good. The PDFs smelled wrong when I first glanced at them, and I just couldn’t put my finger on it, but it was a perfect example of Blink, which is a pretty good book I’ve read as an advance reader’s copy that unfortunately hasn’t been published yet.
I’m also very disappointed to say that I’m afraid this will turn people against Kerry to the point where, were I a conspiracy theorist, I would almost suspect the Bush camp of misleading CBS on purpose to intensify and counteract the Swift boat fiasco and put the old AWOL rumors to rest at Kerry’s expense.
