This little conspiracy requires Rove to rely on the bloggers to somehow catch the national media to prove the things fakes. That had never happened before, but Rove decides to risk the election on it happening? Ummm no.
Not to mention just last week our resident conspiracy theorist thought the Ga. blogger had to have been involved because no way anyone could pick up on the fakes in 4 hours. Now, this week, the WH should have? Geez.

Ahem.
Not saying Rove had a hand in it. Am saying that Rove would have been nuts to suggest to CBS that the docs were not authentic on only 3 hours notice, particularly if he isn't entirely sure they weren't. He couldn't be sure, and they didn't dispute. They didn't even suggest the possibility of a dispute. Clearly the right thing for the WH to do, more obvious than brilliant.
But what's your point on the GA blogger. Conspiracy theory? The guy is one of our own activist lawyers fer crissakes. Us Rs are supposed to be cynical Hank; there ain't no such thing as coincidence and all that. OTOH, as you indicate, there is no way the WH should have picked this up in 3 hours either.
Its not to say that the GA lawyer did this, its rather to say that the possibility cannot be discounted with certainty that someone played a masterful trick on Rather. And the trickster's point would be no less valid.
