Apparently Brit Hume mentioned forgeries on eBay, including one from “123 Fake Street, signed by Bush’s Superior Officer.” SarahK confirmed it on Tivo, but messed up recording it.
Damn, I missed it because I was out taking down my storm windows instead of watching FOX…
UPDATE: Go to FOX News, click on “Opinion” on the sidebar and then “Grapevine” to see it. I don’t know how to do a direct link to it.
UPDATE2: Here’s the text.
i’m recording it at 11, sweetness.
i would’ve sworn i already posted this…
I have to say Frank, not to sound like a pot-smoking hippie, but that was awesome.
I saw the thing appear on Fox News and I thought it was great your memo got on. If only they would credit your site with it!
Frank, this must be the plan of attack- write to Fox News and ask them to run a correction stating the author of the memo! (Really… it might work….. well…)
Not wanting to repeat myself, I actually posted this under the original post so by repeating this I hope I’m not repeating myself by repeating this. Here’s a partial transcript…
“Good evening, I’m not Dan Rather. Tonight on Special Report Ebay is selling an authentic IBM selectric typewriter with a memo still in place typed by ‘Bush’s Superior Officer’. Highest bidder is currently an anonymous CBS reporter.”
We report. You do chores around the house.
Karl Rove just stepped out from the shadows to become the current high bidder.
Hannity and Colmes showed a screenshot of your ebay listing. It showed the pictures of the typewriter and the description.
Dude, don’t be a jackass.
Go to foxnews.com, Opinion tab
and “The Grapevine” for some
RealPlayer goodness.
(I watched it twice just to watch
Brit’s smirk!)
WooHoo!
Anyway to save that?
Grrr… Not within the law.
I’ll do some research and let you know.
Your taking down your storm windows?? What about Jeanne??
Congrat’s Frank. You’ve graduated to “sweetness”. You two are a great blog-couple.
Now I want a shot of Brit in a Nuke the Moon T…
dammitall! This Windoze box I’m on
is giving me nothing.
Have you no linux fans that can save
this clip for the future?
It’ll be gone with when they update the
site. 24 hr. minimum.
Jayzus, Fox has the WORST f***ing news web site in the history of the universe.
That said, I finally managed to see it. You’re famous Frank! Can I… touch you?
This ones pre-setting it’s better than the one up top.
Silly Turkeyhead

that sucked he didn’t even give you credit.
You may as well be the uni-bomber pre McVay
Hey all, I e-mailed Brit and told him where the memo came from. We reveal our sources here. Here is a copy of the e-mail:
Hey Brit, I thought you might want to know that the eBay auction selling the IBM with the fake memo in it … that memo was ripped off for that auction, the author is Frank J. over at http://www.imao.us he is famous in the blogosphere (or pajamasphere as it is now known) for his wacky offbeat and darn funny political humor site. The direct link to his post with that memo is:
etc., I put in the same link that Frank has in this post. So who knows, maybe Brit will do an update with proper attribution for Friday’s Special Report!!!
mountain mama take me hoooooommmeeeeeeee… country road
Could somebody post a screencap? I can’t get the video to work.
You have a lot of nerve claiming that you were ripped off, when 123 Fake St. is clearly stolen from the Simpsons.
When will all of this forgery and plagerism end?
what i heart the most about this is that my beloved Brit Hume is the one who mentioned your fake document. i do heart him so.
