This bit of blogging excellence got a direct link from Drudge!
It's another wild Dem story of "fake, but accurate" "documents":
Did Lucy Ramirez Find The Downing Street Memos?

The media and the Leftists have had a field day with the Downing Street memos that they claim imply that the Bush administration lied about the intelligence on WMD in order to justify the attack on Iraq. Despite the fact that none of the memos actually say that, none of them quote any officials or any documents, and that the text of the memos show that the British government worried about the deployment of WMD by Saddam against Coalition troops, Kuwait and/or Israel, the meme continues to survive.

Until tonight, however, no one questioned the authenticity of the documents provided by the Times of London. That has now changed, as Times reporter Michael Smith admitted that the memos he used are not originals, but retyped copies...

Read all of what Captain Ed has discovered.
My favorite part is that the docs were "retyped" on an old manual typewriter and the "originals" were "destroyed." Hmmm.
Is that to correct the mistake of Dan Rather, Mary Mapes and Co. of putting their "old" documents, which were allegedly created on a manual typewriter in the 1960's, on a contemporary version of MS Word?
What remains to be seen is whether the Dems, led by John Kerry, who served in Vietnam and made "Ds" at Yale, will still try to use the Downing St. memos as the basis for a real impeachment attempt of President Bush or whether they'll be happy with their mock impeachment party, held in the Capitol basement.
You know when WashedUpPost columnist Dana Milbank takes time off from picking on President Bush to make fun of you (Democrats Play House To Rally Against the War
that Leftist Democrat Moonbatism has reached a new low (high?).
