Remember how Nixon was brought down by our heroic media, Woodward and Bernstein? We now have a new Watergate–CBS News may have promoted a forged document to prove Dubya had, shall we say, problems during his tenure in the Texas Air National Guard.
I won’t go into too many details here, but I felt the need to make that comparison. I’ve felt MSM
I’ve said before and I’ll say it again.
If these allegations are proved to be true (and by the way, your noting paper size is a powerful, indicting statement), it is a result of the Michael Moore’s legitimization of the fraudulent and deceitful as a legitimate form of political expression.

What are the odds that a supposed document written in 1973 was set up in the exact same format as the MS Word

I don’t know where or when you where a clerk Bunker, but my AFSC was 391 maintenance analysis, and we were using 81/2″ X 11″ paper in 1977.

I personally think this is huge, a comparison to watergate is not much of a stretch. I fear however that it will be spun by saying these are transcriptions of originals, and not the actual originals, which will never show up, and MSM won’t care.

Bubba, I was doing it while our clerk went TDY to Guam for six months in 1973. It was odd because our carbon paper (pre-manifold) was 8-1/2 x 11.

Guam, well that explains a whole lot, as I recall overseas were frequently the last plast to get updated equipment. Well the “support” type equipment. Frontline weapons were almost always sent overseas first.
