Stop The Presses! --OR-- Take That Dan Rather!
According to the Drudge Report, the "memos" about President George W. Bush's Texas Air National Guard duty are a hoax. To sum it up briefly, the documents alleged to be made in 1972-3, are actually current, according to typefase/font experts. The font used in the memo was not availible readily in 1972, and almost assuredly not in the military circa that period. The font, is however, easily found on Microsoft Word. Go figure. If you ever needed further proof of the liberal media bias, that was it.
UPDATE (12:15AM): The Drudge Report is now saying that CBS News is going to launch an internal investigation on this matter, and Dan Rather may personally apologize on the air. This is going to be very interesting. So far only MSNBC of the big Three online has picked this story up online, but as I type they are talking about it FOX News, Brit Hume is on, and they are mentioning them as a possible hoax, but only under the headline of the memos themselves. Hume is saying that a FOX News producer typed out a copy of the memo on Microsoft Word, and it came out pretty much identical. More on the in the morning.
UPDATE2: (12:37AM): Apparently, this is going to be on page A1 of the Washington Post tomorrow.
