I started taking typing lessons in 1970, and also took them several other
times, and I worked as a data entry clerk when I was young in the early
80's and I'll tell you what.  No one ever taught these "tips" in any of the
classes I took, and none of the typewriters I ever used, and I used a lot
as I'm a very good typist, had the ability to superscript, and I was typing
at a bunch of different offices, places that were more likely to have these
types of features.  At the time these documents were supposedly produced,
the typewriter that was available that had these features cost about
$20,000, which seems unlikely that this guy would have had one, ignoring
all the other preponderance of evidence that also indicates these are
forgeries.  Interesting link

I'm certain that Wirt agrees with me when I say it is certainly worth
thoroughly investigating because if it in fact turns out to be a forgery
then CBS news has some serious work to do to figure out how they turned
from a serious new agency in to a shill for the liberals.  Oh, but to cover
their bases Terry McAweful has already said that these must have been
forged and planted by Karl Rove, which even if they were doesn't excuse CBS
total failure to properly investigate and fact check, so it's a "loose
loose" as far as I can see.
