Rumor: RNC behind fake memos

According to the New York Post,"The hot rumor in New York political circles has Roger Stone, the longtime GOP activist, as the source for Dan Rather's dubious Texas Air National Guard `memos.' The irony would be delicious, since Rather became famous confronting President Nixon, in whose service a very young Stone became associated with political"dirty tricks." And, then, the Democratic National Committee issued the following press release: McAuliffe: Will GOP Answer If They Know Whether Stone, Others Had Involvement With CBS Documents? (Washington, D.C.) - In response to false Republican accusations regarding the CBS documents, Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe issued this statement: In today's New York Post, Roger Stone, who became associated with political 'dirty tricks' while working for Nixon, refused to deny that he was the source the CBS documents. Will Ed Gillespie or the White House admit today what they know about Mr. Stone's relationship with these forged documents? Will they unequivocally rule out Mr. Stone's involvement? Or for that matter, others with a known history of dirty tricks, such as Karl Rove or Ralph Reed?" In a USA Today article entitled"Parties lob accusations over suspect papers," however, Stone denies involvement, saying"I have nothing whatsoever to do with this." Interesting.
