The White House is playing things perfectly when it comes to the CBS Phony memo controversy. First of all, there has never been allegations (by anyone rational) that Bush asked for special treatment other than to serve out his last few months in Alabama rather than Texas. So, even if the memos were genuine, it wouldn't mean anything.
Clearly, Rather's house of cards is really starting to fall apart. It is now appearing that Viacom and CBS are circling their wagons in earnest. They asked a handwriting expert for his opinion on typewriters. They got corroboration from a Guard member, but it turns outthey misled him.
INDC shows that the Kerry apologists at the Boston Globe have also gotten into the mess, misquoting an expert. Clearly Globe and Viacom are interested in this thing being considered a closed case.
It is evident that Kerry, Rather, and the liberal mainstream press will continue to kvetch. Ed Gillespie warns that the Libs will getmore and more desparate.
It may not matter especially as the Bush lead appears solid and 52 days left.

He wasn't yesterday. Maybe people aren't as stupid as you take them to be.
In less than a week Bush's has lost half his lead.

What aren't you? Because it's so easy, Al Queda
urges people to buy assault weapons in the US.
The ban on dozens of weapons expires on 9/13.
Bush won't stop the expiration. Why? Does he really
care about stopping terrorism or just re-election?
Bush refuses to talk to Police:

Get Objective for a change, Dan. You live in a segrated city close to the border of drug trading don't you? Do you have kids?
White House believes content of CBS memos is true
by John in DC - 9/11/2004 03:05:18 PM
"But at the time, I had every reason to believe that a major news organization had authentic documents." - White House communications director Dan Bartlett said last night.
The White House now says they had EVERY REASON TO BELIEVE the documents were authentic. EVERY REASON. I.e., they had NO REASON to believe the documents were false. For example, had the president simply told Bartlett that what the memos allege is wrong, Bartlett would have had ONE REASON to believe the documents might be phony. But Bartlett said last night - 3 days into this scandal - that he had NO reason to believe the memos were fake.
This is a very important admission by the White House. They have been silent about the allegations for 3 days now. And last night the White House communications director admits that the content of the memos did not suggest to anyone in the White House that there was a problem with the veracity or authenticity of the memos.
It's high time the "real" media started asking the White House about the CONTENT of the memos rather than just whether a "th" can or can't be superscripted.
