Need a Good Laugh?
Here's a knee-slapper for you (no punchline necessary).
Um...this should go without saying (like that's gonna stop me), but that was the sole purpose of CBS rushing the story on the air in first place. Bob Saget should have a writer this funny. Who's still buying this crap?
Apparently, Reuters is.
As much as I want to give them credit for reporting this much of the story, the fact remains that these questions were "raised" within hours of the story airing - FOUR weeks ago, and subsequently "answered" in the days immediately following. Just more of the same cutting-edge journalism from the Reuters we know and love - 26 days late and a dollar short.

The report also produced documents purportedly written by Bush's Guard commander complaining that he was pressured to "sugar coat" Bush's record -- but the man who gave the documents to CBS later admitted that he lied about its origins and serious questions have been raised over their authenticity.
