WTF Is It Now?!?

F-ing Dems
They're letting the rethugs and the media whores run all over them again.

I can't believe I'm wasting my time with this nonsense, but here it is:

"As is standard practice at CBS News, the documents in the 60 Minutes report were thoroughly examined and their authenticity vouched for by independent experts," CBS News said in a statement today. "As importantly, 60 Minutes also interviewed close associates of Colonel Jerry Killian. They confirm that the documents reflect his opinions and actions at the time."

The White House distributed the four memos from 1972 and 1973 after obtaining them from CBS News. The White House did not question their accuracy.

Robert Strong was a friend and colleague of Killian who ran the Texas Air National Guard administrative office in the Vietnam era. Strong, now a college professor, also believes the documents are genuine.

"They are compatible with the way business was done at the time. They are compatible with the man that I remember Jerry Killian being," says Strong. "I don't see anything in the documents that is discordant with what were the times, what was the situation and what were the people involved."

From DemoUnderground: CNN just aired a short interview with Dan Rather, who asserted that the story is true, the documents are authentic, and they wouldn't have gone to air if they were not.

When asked if there would be an apology or a retraction, Dan scoffed, "What? No retraction. No discussion of a retraction. The story is true."

He also said the press should be asking Tipsy "Lines" McStagger about the questions raised by 60 Minutes, not about the documents themselves.

Go Dan!
