Out on a limb

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I believe that the reason the memos have been such a train wreck is that CBS/Rather and the DNC are tied together at the hip.

What this looks like to me is a plan that couldn't be stopped for logistical reasons (no plan B).

In the real world it would be:

1. Documents found
2. Documents vetted
3. Political action

This train can be stopped if the documents don't check out.

But the Dems are short of time so what do they do?

1. Documents found
2. Political action
3. Documents vetted

This train can not be stopped if the documents don't check out.

Which would tend to show collusion. Rather has to go down with the ship to keep the Dems from looking like complete fools. Even if only for another few days. He has to stand by the docs. Otherwise the Dems just go down faster. Well as B.H.L. Hart points out - in such circumstances the defeat is more complete.

Remember "The War Room," the documentary on Clinton's 1992 campaign? Carville tries to place a story with a contact at...tada!...CBS.

(Only on that one, CBS actually vetted it and decided not to go with it...)

That Dan and CBS were actively NOT seeking the truth was demonstrated in a Hannity interview of Killian's son in which he repeatedly mentioned that the CBS Employee who contacted him turned down his multiple offers to provide additional knowledgeable sources.

This employee actually told him they were Bush supporters and therefore biased!
(The proven liar Kerry Supporters used are "unbiased" we must conclude!)

Everything about this was conclusion driven, and designed to provide ammunition for the ongoing Democrat "6th Assault" on Bush's TANG record.
