Bush Stays above the Fray

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.

More convinced now than before

Given Dan Rather's awkward and weak defense and the challenges laid out for him to back up his flimsy story I am more convinced now than ever that CBS and Viacom are circling their wagons to protect whatever credibility CBS news has left.

I keep hearing this hissing sound from under the hood...

This is no suprise - clearly Barnes was a fraud and a Kerry pawn. Kind of sad though . . .

My favorite anagram - Michael Moore = Hear me: I'm loco!

So, Edwards thinks that Bush shouls discuss his National Guard records from 30 years ago, including what appear to be forged documents, yet he doesn't think that Kerry should release his own service records? Please.

You can expect I will milking this excuse for my moodiness. now!

If this story is true - it could bring down Kerry and Viacom as well!

If this is true, and Kerr's people are involved this could bring down Kerry and Viacom!

55 days left - let's hope the lead can hold and that the press can move toward some level of objectivity. Who am I kidding?

At least this is an op-ed piece, but what world is this guy living in? Will there ever be a smimilar article in the NYT that actually looks even somewhat objectively to the charges of SVT?

A new twist to man bites dog.

A little late to be pre-emptive nowisn't it Vladimir?

Gee, what is he afraid they will ask? The more they try to focus on Bush's time in the guard, the more legitimacy they are giving to the questions raised by the SwiftVets. Why won't Kerry release his records?

Now it looks like even Kerry's apologist is joining the choir calling for Kerry to release his records. You would think that a biographer would have asked for that some time ago . . .

When will the pack of 500 get it? They waste their energy with lame story lines comparingKerry to Dukakis while to this day the fail to examine
these charges as if by ignoring them they will go away. Where are the calls for Kerry to sign form 180?

The mainstream press have once again missed the boat. Instead of focusing on "the scream" during the early primaries, they should have been vetting this guy.

Can someone explain to me how"a man of the cloth"can say something like this?

Watch this video and tell me - why hasn't the kerry campaign responded specifically to this request to come clean over his viet nam experience. Absent Kerry signing the Form 180, you can't expect that this controversy will go away.

Ben Barnes is a Kerry Shill and has no credibility.
