The <a href=\"http:\/\/mediamatters.org\/items\/200409100010\" target=\"_top\">charges of forgery are rediculous<\/a>, but it doesn&#8217;t matter as doubt has been planted in people&#8217;s minds.  In fact, <a href=\"http:\/\/news.google.com\/news?q=cbs+bush+documents&#038;hl=en&#038;lr=&#038;ie=UTF-8&#038;sa=N&#038;tab=nn\" target=\"_top\">the &#8220;forgery&#8221; story has overshadowed the original story<\/a>.  Dubya was going down, when boom, a massive distraction was created.  It started appearing in blogs before CBS had even finished it&#8217;s broadcast.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some guys who never met John Kerry<\/em> put out a TV ad saying bad things about him and weeks later they seem to be still running ads.  Kerry&#8217;s not hitting back in a way that gets media saturation.  And he&#8217;s not exactly left wing.  Bush is the antithesis of all I <em>used<\/em> to stand for, so he must be really right wing.  And suppoerting him would be a lot less frustrating if I were a right winger, cuz 1. He&#8217;s really right wing and 2. He can put out a fire in a way the Democrats can&#8217;t.  So I&#8217;m switching sides.  I mean, kerry is a so watered-down version of what i support that he&#8217;s not even clearly identifiable as related.<br \/>\nBut bush is the antithesis of what i would go for.<br \/>\nlots of people are itching to vote for bush.<br \/>\ncuz he&#8217;s evil and they like that.<br \/>\nthey look at him and say, &#8220;hey, there&#8217;s my kind of evil!&#8221;<br \/>\nso if i were a rightwinger, i&#8217;d probably love bush.<br \/>\nIt won&#8217;t be hard.  I do kind of hate people who are different than me.  Bush invokes an alien other a lot, so I&#8217;ll do that too.  Goddamn heterosexuals!  Also: cat people.  Cat people are a clear threat to national security.<br \/>\nPlus they&#8217;re something not quite right about them.<br \/>\nit&#8217;s much more sexy to be evil.<br \/>\nyou don&#8217;t have to worry about ethics.<br \/>\nyou can do whatever you want.<br \/>\nyou can use any tactic.<br \/>\nunscrupulous people frequently prosper. cheaters often win.<br \/>\ni&#8217;m switching to evil. and i support cat person profiling.<br \/>\ni&#8217;m also scapegoating men.  I would like to point out that heterosexual, cat-people, men are especially dangerous.  &#8216;m going to write a book explaining how they should all be rounded up.<br \/>\nevil is winning.<br \/>\nit&#8217;s a sign of the end times.<br \/>\nbut i don&#8217;t beleive in the afterlife, so i&#8217;m throwing in my lot with the beast.<\/p>\n<p>also, surgery for prostate cancer should only be performed in cases of rape or incest.  cuz prostates have to do with sex, which is related, for men, to being men, and i need to scapegoat them.  And, so if fetuses aren&#8217;t babies in cases of rape or incest, then men can have prostate cancer fixed only when it&#8217;s not their fault either.<br \/>\nUm, who else should I irrationally hate and deny basic rights to?  Any ideas?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve been obsessively reading the news today (what? &#8220;a life&#8221;? what do you mean?), you&#8217;re certainly aware that when CBS uncovered documents indicated that Dubya disobeyed direct orders, all sorts of media started claiming that those documents were forgeries.
