Hardball...WHERE IS THE AWOL STORY?
Okay, so ALL of the major print media has addressed the AWOL story...he hasn't.

1. Now that three weeks have been spent
examining the inner assholes of every swift boat liar, it's time to move on and leave all the ancient viet nam history stuff behind, dontcha know. You must have missed the memo.

2. Except that he is still there, still on what Kerry was doing when he got
home in 72---and nobody asks what Bush was doing, period. Not if he was coking up, avoiding service or what. Disgusting.

3. Drudge claims the story was a fake
"'60 Minutes' Documents on Bush Might Be Fake /// 32-year-old documents produced Wednesday by CBSNEWS 60 MINS on Bush's guard service may have been forged using a current word processing program // typed using a proportional font, not common at that time, and they used a superscript font feature found in today's Microsoft Word program, Internet reports claim..."


Keep in mind, this is matt drudge. All Faux news has been running with this story all night I hear on another board.

6. Tweety did interview...
a guy with "Texans for Truth" yesterday. Tweety said that he was tired of old history and wanted to talk about current topics. The SB Liers crap was more bloody so the Media loved to regurgitate that but the W fraud is boring, I guess.

5. And do you know why Faux and Drudge are doing that?
Because negatives on Bush might dissuade his base from voting. So it is imperative that Dubya's base be give some, any, reason to not believe the evidence.

12. It's not necessarily "superscript"
As someone who began using keyboards before the computer age, I recall several old typewriters of mine that had a separate key with a small "th" that would print in smaller characters and that would appear in the upper part of the line of type, resembling what is known today as superscript. In fact, I think at one point, nearly every high-end typewriter had this feature. I believe there were also typewriters with separate keys that would print a small "st" and "nd" for typing such words as "1st" and "2nd", for example, again resembling what is now known as superscript. But they were not separate letters. They were two smaller and higher letters typed with one key.
