(70,258 posts)that doesnt mean it didnt exist, just that this was a doctored copy.

(14,334 posts)He tried to claim the font was Times New Roman or Palatino which are completely different fonts from each other, and not at all the slab serifs in question. But he's a RW lawyer and not a typographer.
Several typewriter models such as the IBM Selectric II, which was available at the time, had proportional spacing and the superscript TH.
That said, the signature looked pasted on, and the chain of custody was fucked.

(7,531 posts)I've written it recently and will here again: read Family of Secrets by Russ Baker for insight into the Bush-Walker family's many nefarious adventures over generations. Using oil, steel and banking wealth, as well as political connections, they fancied themselves puppet masters and involved this country in numerous shady operations overseas to benefit themselves and other powerful elites while also playing games to take down political foes.

(308 posts)Of course she would never have gotten the job on her own merits. She's doing good just to read the teleprompter. The Bush's must have some good dirt on someone high up at the network.
