If I had seen them posed as a breathless expose' on 60 Minutes, I'd have been outraged when they were shown to be false. 60 Minutes would be pissing me off more by the minute if they dug in their heels and used terms like "unimpeachable source" or whatever. Who the hell is unimpeachable anyway, a dead person? I don't even think such a thing exists, but I'm beginning to believe that Swift Boat Veterans and Dan Rather are all Santa Clauses for good Republicans.

Rather seems to be pissed that the story has become the forged documents instead of the larger story he reported. He has been unsuccessful in reframing that debate.

Why Spartan, why? How many fake photos have we seen of the Clintons and Kerry? Most of them were funny on their face. This appears to have been a slightly more subtle joke that took some time to get.
