With Kerry’s poll numbers continuing to tank, and his negatives hitting an all-time low, the DNC, along with its 527s and its enablers in the media, are taking one more desperate run at Dubya’s National Guard record.

Hilarously, it looks like they’re doing so with forged documents. I find it highly unlikely that:

a) Anyone in the Air National Guard would be using a typeball with a superscript “th” in it in the early ’70s.

b) The same machine on which this magical typeball existed would also do proportional font (and break lines exactly the same way a word processor would and

c) any document typewritten in that era would be capable of being overlaid with a present-day Word document with exactly the same wording.

I have a high level of confidence at this point that the documents that Dan Rather and Sixty Minutes thought were going to salvage Kerry’s presidential campaign were forged. Moreover, I think that the CBS eye has to be looking very black right now, and their credibility in the toilet.

It’s been said before, but it bears repeating. If Kerry loses this election (as seems increasingly likely), it won’t be his loss alone. It will be a watershed event in which the Internet took down the mainstream media, destroying their increasingly unjustified reputations for either objectivity or accuracy. They will be the real casualties in this election, and it will put the lie to Evan Thomas’ notion that their support is worth fifteen points. At the rate they’re going, their best shot at getting Kerry elected is to start supporting the president, in an attempt to damage him as much as they have their own anointed candidate.

I have to say that it couldn’t happen to a more deserving pack of sanctimonious twits.
