Rise to Stardom

Powerline could easily become the most well known blog in the world before the CBS Forgery scandal is over. CBS has decided to fight this issue tooth and nail, and they are doomed to lose. It is pretty obvious that those documents are fake, and I suspect that CBS knows it. Yet to admit they were wrong will permanently damage their credibilty. So they hope to create confusion and "grey" the issue, thereby making people unsure whether or not those documents were truly fake. I think that they will fail. The more they fight, the larger the issue becomes. The issue now isn't over whether or not Bush got preferential treatment, but rather over whether those documents are real or not. This means that even if somehow those documents are real (which I don't believe is the case) that the issue will have lost its significance by the time they are shown to be real. Hence, it isn't a lose situation for the Bush administration. However, the same can't be said for the Kerry Campaign. If Democrats are connected in any way with an attempt to pass forgeries off, then they are in serious trouble. Keep tuned in folks.
