Bush AWOL: FBuckhead unmasked.
He's an "elf":
Well, well, well. Remember the role the Federalist Society and its elves played in the coup the wingers plotted against our last elected President?
This really is starting to give off, um, a Rove-ian aroma, isn't it?
What's the word forFBuckhead? It's on the tip of my tongue... Op.. Op... Operative!
Editor and publisher has more:
Actually, there are two reasons to be suspicious: (1) the quickness ofFBuckhead's response, (2) his typographic comments were lies, as we've repeatedly demonstrated (take the PC magazine tests).
Gee, it's almost like the Republicans think they're in a war, and have pre-positioned the material for their campaign, isn't it? That's what enables rapid response, after all. (If only they could fight real wars so well. Oh, wait...)

Suspicions that MacDougald may have been tipped off have arisen because his quick comments on typography seemed to go far beyond his reputed expertise. He wrote that the memos purportedly written in the early 1970s by the late Lt. Col Jerry B. Killian were "in a proportionally spaced font, probably Palatino or Times New Roman....The use of proportionally spaced fonts did not come into common use for office memos until the introduction of laser printers, word processing software and personal computers," MacDougald wrote. "They were not widespread until the mid to late 90's. Before then, you needed typesetting equipment, and that wasn't used for personal memos to file. Even the Wang systems that were dominant in the mid 80's used monospaced fonts."
