Im not sure if there is any cause-effect relationship, 
but note that 8 September is the day 60 Minutes broke the 
newly-discovered-Bush-documents story.  By the next 
day a lot of us had realized the documents were forgeries
after viewing the online PDFs.  Thru the week, more and
more people evidently came to the same conclusion.  On 
15 September the late Dan Rather himself admitted that 
there were serious questions regarding the documents (while
reprehensibly refusing to retract the story).  

Surely this is all part of a vast right-wing conspiracy.  
Perhaps the forged documents were planted by some 
Limbaughian scoundrel, poison bait which DNCBS, the 
NY Times and the Boston Globe all devoured with glee, 
from which they are still wretching violently.  

Whaddya think?
