<font color=blue>"Like I said, 60 minutes released the documents and so did the whitehouse. If you're going to give one of them hell over it why not both of them. I'm asking you this question. You sure do make pretty messages. Is there a reason for all the different colors and stuff?"<font color=black> Apparently you see the pretty colors, but forgot to read the words. If you had read them, you too would know I have already completely debunked your banal hypothetical in this post......... Message 20514620 Bottom line. The White house never had those documents in their possession prior to late last week. The forged documents allegedly came from someone's "personal" files. The White House received those documents from CBS just prior to CBS airing of their fraudulent SMEAR JOB by Dan Rather & then the WH released them the following day "in what is said was the interest of full disclosure". The White House would have been foolish to attempt to attack the authenticity of those forged documents. The blogosphere & now the mainstream media (MSM) are doing a great job on their own. Why get the MSM to turn their sights back on the WH? CBS' so called "expert"<font size=4>....Moore, however, simply asserts that the documents are real and that the lack of a White House statement discrediting the documents (yet) shows that <font color=blue>"the White House probably knows that these documents are, in fact, real."<font color=red> Uh, no. That statement is meaningless. By that standard, I can assert that the fact that Ed Bradley, Mike Wallace, Morley Safer and the rest of the Sunday 60 Minutes crew haven't come to defend Rather means they "probably know that these documents are, in fact, fake, and so badly done that a third-grader could recognize the differences between a document created with a typewriter and one created on a modern computer, and that Rather has gone cuckoo for cocoa puffs." <font color=black> Right now, the camp that believes the documents are the real deal consists of Dan Rather, Jim Moore, Tom Harkin, and possibly Terry McAuliffe, although the DNC head also apparently thinks Karl Rove did it.<font size=3>
