Journal RobertB-DC's Journal: Rejected Submission: Discredited Bush Memo Faxed From Texas 4

Journal by RobertB-DC

I can't pretend to not have an opinion on the matter, but I thought that this article would be accepted. Doesn't it seem like the Politics section has died down a bit *too* much this past week?

Oh, well... at least it took them about an hour to decide to reject it. Folks tell me that's a good sign -- they probably at least read it before rejecting it.

Discredited Bush Memo Faxed From Texas
(Politics,Republicans) (rejected)

The intrigue surrounding the Bush Service Memo deepened with the latest revelation: the memo was faxed to CBS News from a Kinko's location in Abilene, Texas.

  • ...following this all that close. Are you saying that this could be a disinformation campaign, ie, a false flag type of project? Release information that seems to hurt your guy. The opposition takes the bait and runs with it, then gets exposed for promoting false data, giving your boy a boost.

    Sounds weird enough to actually be a plan.

    • Karl Rove's methods have included underhanded, devious tricks ever since the early '70s when he was still in college.

      According to the author of "Bush's Brain" (integerviewed* on NPR's Fresh Air), Rove came up with a wacky plan during the pre-Watergate time: "borrow" his opponent's letterhead and print up "invitations" to an upcoming event -- the opening of the candidate's campaign office. These bogus invitations promised free beer and free women, and were passed out to all the "hippies and homeless" in th
      • thanks for the info on rove. Tell ya, that whole passle of sleazoids need to get indicted on various things by a grand jury. Not a day goes by I don't find out about something else they have done, if illegal wars isn't enough. I also think the timing is significant, it matched the release of kitty kelleys book on the bushes.

        Ever got an evening to waste, google in "bush crime family" some pretty interesting stuff.

          To paraphrase some comic -- Leno, I think, talking about the end of the Iraq occupation -- "I think that's scheduled for shortly after the start of the Kerry administration."

          But don't trust me just because I agree with you. I'm certain that Rove is using the Bloggosphere as a tool -- both to spread whispers about Kerry and to whip up paranoia about his own candidate. Here's the pl
