I have a post on my own site about this, but I have been thinking about it a lot since. And here's the way this paranoid theory boils down: Kerry's campaign and CBS are both too smart and sophisticated to have attempted such a ridiculously, obviously, unbelievably bad forgery. So clearly it didn't originate with them. But they are stupid enough to pass along a ridiculously, obviously, unbelievably bad forgery without recognizing it. And indeed, stupid enough to defend a ridiculously, obviously, unbelievably bad forgery as the truth for days and days and days, as the evidence of its fraudulence continues to mount. So Karl Rove must have tricked them, the poor dummies. I almost pity them. Then I remember that the reason they were allegedly suckered by Karl Rove, criminal mastermind of the millenium, is that many Democrats nowadays seem unable to think critically about anything that reflects badly on George W. Bush. Bunch of hateful Moore-ons. They deserve whatever they get.
