Catching up with some notes on Memogate... Found this story on ABC News:
The White House doesn't know? This is practically an admission. I mean, if in fact these documents were forgeries, wouldn't Georgie be the one to know? Wouldn't a firm denial quickly follow? Why wait for the press to hash out the truth if you know these documents to be phony? If the above non-denial wasn't enough, you've got White House Communications director Dan Bartlett practically admitting guilt:
USA Today has some more Texas Air National Guard documents which line-up with CBS's conclusions. Yes, they are in the same "questionable" font, which becomes way less questionable when you visit PC World's examination of Microsoft word versus the IBM Selectric.... THEY LOOK IDENTICAL.
And Time Magazine chimes in with their expert:
So again, we're left to determine the authenticity of the documents in a he said/she said situation. I think the only way to determine this is by having access to the original documents and have the paper and inks dated. In case you're looking for a humorous way to wrap up the whole Memogate thing, we give you Bob Novak.
Novak, of course, was one of the two reporters subpoened by the F.B.I. in their investigation of the leaked identity of C.I.A. agent Valerie Plame by a White House source. Novak refused to reveal the identity of his source. For the above exchange, he was awarded Douchebag of the Week by Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. "It is critical that the president of the United States speak clearly and consistently at this time of great threat in our world, and not change positions because of expediency or pressure." - George W. Bush, 9/14/04 "Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB/GYN's aren't able to practice their... their love with women all across the country." - George W. Bush, 9/6/04 "So community colleges are accessible, they're available, they're affordable, and their curriculums don't get stuck. In other words, if there's a need for a certain kind of worker, I presume your curriculums evolved over time." - George W. Bush, 8/10/04 "Tribal sovereignty means that, it's sovereign. You're a—you've been given sovereignty, and you're viewed as a sovereign entity. And, therefore, the relationship between the federal government and tribes is one between sovereign entities."- George W. Bush, 8/6/04 (click for video; Quicktime required) "Secondly, the tactics of our—as you know, we don't have relationships with Iran. I mean, that's—ever since the late '70s, we have no contacts with them, and we've totally sanctioned them. In other words, there's no sanctions—you can't—we're out of sanctions." - George W. Bush, 8/9/04 "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we." - George W. Bush, 8/5/04
