BUSH VIETNAM RECORD DISTRACTED FROM

Ok, this is the LAST time I'm going to write anything about this damn Vietnam thing. After the press just started getting on Bush's case about his holey military record during Vietnam, it turns out that a document that kind of incriminated Bush more may have been forged. In fact, almost definitely was forged. According to an article over at CNSNews.com, typography experts had trouble with a few different aspects of the documents as posted at CBSNews.com. Here's an excerpt:

But the use of the superscript "th" in one document - "111th F.I.S" - gave each expert pause. They said that is an automatic feature found in current versions of Microsoft Word, and it's not something that was even possible more than 30 years ago.

"That would not be possible on a typewriter or even a word processor at that time," said John Collins, vice president and chief technology officer at Bitstream Inc., the parent of MyFonts.com.

So, the documents are definitely fake in my book. My one question is, if you were going to fake documents, why make them so tame? They shrink the time Bush was unaccounted for to 6 months. Why not say something like "Caught Lt. Bush slaughtering small children out behind the base."

Okay, that might be a bit extreme, but still, make it a little more juicy.
