The Democratic National Committee and the CBS Memos
From CNN's Late Edition this Sunday:

GILLESPIE: You know, the only two people, I think, left in America today who are standing by the CBS report are Terry McAuliffe and Dan Rather.

MCAULIFFE: I'm not standing by the report.

GILLESPIE: Terry, you've still got it up in the on your Web site, don't you? Yes, you do.

MCAULIFFE: I don't stand by the CBS report.

GILLESPIE: Well, then why do you have it on your Web site?

MCAULIFFE: I have nothing to do with the CBS -- call Dan Rather up. I'll give you a quarter.

GILLESPIE: Why do you have it on your Web site?

MCAULIFFE: I've got my own evidence.

GILLESPIE: Nothing Terry -- if I might, Terry. You just went on for a while, and I allowed you to. The fact is that nothing that has come forward since Terry first made this rash accusation on this program about eight months ago has changed.

The president served honorably. He got his points. He was honorably discharged.And now Terry, after spending about 3 1/2 minutes talking about the Guard service, as he's been doing all week, now says, oh, but we don't want to talk about 35 years ago. The fact is, it's all he wants to talk about, when we're focused on trying to win the war on terror. We're talking about policies that affect people today.

BLITZER: All right.

GILLESPIE: The president put forward a very positive agenda in New York City. That's why he's up in the polls today, because that's what people want to talk about.

BLITZER: We're all out of time, but is it still on your Web site, as far as you know, Terry McAuliffe?

MCAULIFFE: I've been out hunting for the last three days...

GILLESPIE: Yes.

MCAULIFFE: ... so I don't know if it's on the Web site. I'll check when I get back, Wolf.

GILLESPIE: And you're going to take it down if it is?

MCAULIFFE: Right. I'm not -- you and Eddie are sitting in Washington, man. I'm out here with the...

(CROSSTALK)

GILLESPIE: Are you going to take it down if it is, Terry?

MCAULIFFE: I'll check it out and get back to you, Ed. I need to get back to Washington.

Now, this afternoon, this can still be found on the website of the Democratic National Committee:

Truth

Here's what we learned tonight from Dan Rather's 60 Minutes report:

There is no doubt now that George Bush got special treatment getting into the Guard through family connections.

Bush went over his supervisor's head to avoid fulfilling his service.

Bush's supervisor had to write a note to himself titled, "CYA" explaining that he was getting pressure to "sugar coat" Bush's record.

Bush was grounded from flight status for not only failing to take his required medical exam per a direct order, but also because of his "failure to perform to (USAF/TexANG) standards."

When is the Democratic National Committee going to remove this fradulent information from its website and apologize for its part in pushing this fraud?
