It was a play on words. He means that they are keeping up with trying to play off the forgery they did as real even though everyone and their dog has caught them in the lie.

"The lead expert retained by CBS News to examine disputed memos from President Bush's former squadron commander in the National Guard said yesterday that he examined only the late officer's signature and made no attempt to authenticate the documents themselves."

Why some people watch these trash programs is beyond me, but it is funny watching people trash Bush and have it blow up in their faces. Rather, Jennings, they all deserve it, alas, the OJ chase, and the "Estes Rocket exploding GM truck gas tanks".

"There's no way that I, as a document expert, can authenticate them," Marcel Matley said in a telephone interview from San Francisco. The main reason, he said, is that they are "copies" that are "far removed" from the originals."

Yet, a bunch of other so-called experts are able to ascertain that they are forgeries?

Right....

It was unclear whether the same person supplied the documents to both media outlets. USA Today said it had obtained its copies of the CBS documents Wednesday night "soon after" the "60 Minutes" broadcast, as well as another two purported Killian memos that had not been made public

This is comical. I'm really hoping that the SBV was behind these false documents! That'd be funny as L.

"
• Bush's records keep trickling out
A detailed comparison by The Washington Post of memos obtained by CBS News with authenticated documents on Bush's National Guard service reveals dozens of inconsistencies, ranging from conflicting military terminology to different word-processing techniques.

The analysis shows that half a dozen Killian memos released earlier by the military were written with a standard typewriter using different formatting techniques from those characteristic of computer-generated documents. CBS's Killian memos bear numerous signs that are more consistent with modern-day word-processing programs, particularly Microsoft Word.

"I am personally 100 percent sure that they are fake," said Joseph M. Newcomer, author of several books on Windows programming, who worked on electronic typesetting techniques in the early 1970s. Newcomer said he had produced virtually exact replicas of the CBS documents using Microsoft Word formatting and the Times New Roman font."

Anyone remember Al Franken when he did the old "Documented evidence bit" from long ago on SNL...... ? Franken should pull that back out of the closet for old times sake and election humor...
