I realize that the text is not wrapping in some of the comment boxes, and people need to scroll back and forth to read it. And yes, it's very annoying.

Working on it.

UPDATE: Using his patented "Send a TRIPLE Trackback to an Unrelated Maintenance Post That No One Else Would Possibly Link To in Order to Siphon Traffic" technique (STTUMPTNOEWPLTOSTT), Marble draws my attention to this shocking revelation:

However, within hours of the photos release, various web logs, or "Internet Pajama Parties" scrutinized the picture, questioning it as a possible forgery.

"It's obviously a fake", declared Burke Billet, a member of the website Free Underground. Burke and other 'Frunders' as they are known examined the photo looking for tell tale signs of possible manipulation.

"It was obvious that this was a fraud. The TANG jar looks plastic, and plastic hadn't even been invented back then."

And what about USA Today? Who gave them their copies of forged documents to compliment the copies broadcast by Rather at CBS. The same memos went to USA Today and CBS... (and Rather can't even get that part of the story right)


Who fed dirty docs to USA Today? Why has this disappeared from the blogosphere? USA Today was a parallel play to CBS.


Somewhere in the confluence where USA Today meets CBS, we should find the sneaky, eggsucking rodent with the crusty whiskers... the beady-eyed mastermind behind Operation Fortunate Son.

Wow, you came up with that after reading Marble's joke post about TANG orange drink?

The pic may be photoshopped, but it's still true.

It should be noted if TANG was good enough for the Mercury Seven crew, could a young George Bush do no less???

What inquiring minds want to know is whether or not it was the infamous *Cadillac* of TANGs not available to the general public.

So…
First, Texas Penal Code 32.21, forging documents, or transferring or publishing forged documents, is a crime. If the subject is two or more “government documents,” then the matter is malum in se – criminal intent is inferred. E.g., you forge, transfer or publish government document copies at your own risk.*

Burkett faxes the forged documents to CBS from Abilene TX. Details still breaking.

Burkett does so on what he says is the condition that CBS would help arrange a conversation with the Kerry campaign.

Mary Mapes, a Texas resident and the 60 Minutes producer of the now discredited CBS segment, calls Joe Lockhart, the former press secretary to President Clinton and a Kerry campaign aide, and asks Lockhart to call Burkett (making good on CBS’s promise to Burkett).

Lockhart states that he spoke with Burkett for 3-4 minutes.

The day after the CBS story, the DNC commences its “favorite son” ad campaign.

And, Tom Daschle takes to the floor, to denounce Bush over the CBS Story.

Call me crazy...but the underlying act here is a felony. So were the “second rate” Watergate burglaries.

It is all amplifying…..

- Now we are down to the original source being "started with a phone call from a stranger and ended with the handoff of an envelope at the boisterous Houston Livestock Show."...Why do I sense the trunk of a caddy in a Dallas alleyway in our future.....

"Deep paper", Phone booths in the rain, "I am not a crook", 18 missing minutes...

- Since the DNC (Lockhart ect.) people are trying to head this off at the pass I'm waiting for someone to get scapegoated and roll over....things are getting dicey in dodge....

- Heldt is still looking good as the forger...I got a look at some of his documents and they have the same "th" thing....That and the fact he tried to peddle a wad of fake docs on Bush to a Texas Dem bigwig a few years ago...Burkette and Heldt know each other and are known to have been in touch over the years...

Yeah, so my code is buggy.... That still doesn't change the fact that Bush served Walgreen's Brand Orange Drink and not TANG..

Moonnuts and Wingbats, all of you!
