TEXAS GUARD DIRECTOR: '60 MINUTES DOC 'FORGED AS HELL'! Newsmax ^ \| 9/12/04 The Director of the Texas Air National Guard at the time President Bush served there said Sunday that Guard documents obtained by "60 Minutes" purporting to show dissatisfaction over his performance are "forged as hell." "They're forged as hell," former Guard director Earl W. Lively told the Washington Times. "There's no way that [Bush's commanding officer] Jerry Killian would have written what they've come up with." Lively was referring to documents aired by CBS news star Dan Rather on Wednesday, purporting to show that Bush's commander Lt. Col. Killian felt pressure from his own superior officer, Col. Walter "Buck" Staudt to "sugarcoat" Bush's record. But Lively confirmed to the Times that Staudt had been honorably discharged in March 1972, nearly 18 months before the date of the forged Killian memos.

I was just reading that CBS/Rather had been purportedly researching the Bush TANG story for 5 years. Yet, the new "memos" only came to light last week. And they rushed to publish. lol. How much more transparent can people be? I wonder whether Rather talked it over with Susan Estrich before they went to air? She was warning that it wasn't "going to be pretty" shortly before the story aired. The bottom line of all this is that big liberal media regards the public as incredibly stupid. That's why they think they can get away with slanted stories that weren't properly vetted. This document thing is an excellent illustration. At minimum, the Rathers of the world should just admit that they're pundits or commentators and stop the pretense of neutrality...........
