From: "Rich Gauszka" 

Some received their info from the Drudge front page. Of course the story is
"might be fake" Naturally all the Bushies can't read and changed
the "might be" to an "is"

The document appears to me to use a fixed width font. I don't know where
you got your information about $20,000 typewriters, but the superscript
"th" was possible using a common IBM Selectric of the day. The
original Selectric was introduced in 1961. See

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/IBM-Selectric-typewriter

It could print special symbols and different fonts. I could not find what
they sold for back then, but I doubt it was anywhere close to $20,000. It
was marketed as office equipment.

  Even a cursory examination of the document which can be found here
http://www.cbsnews.com/htdocs/pdf/BushGuardmay4.pdf shows its FAKE.

  The document is from 1972, and in 1972 people and the National Guard used
TYPEWRITERS.  Typewriters used a fixed pitch courier font.  This FAKED
document is in a PROPORTIONAL font that only typewriters costing more than
$20,000 1972 dollars could imitate, and NO TYPEWRITER (not even a $20,000
one) could create the superscript "th" that is in this FAKED
document. Microsoft Word of course uses proportional fonts and
automatically creates the superscript "th" found in this FAKED
document.

  CBS and the democraps show their slime again.  This could backfire on
Kerry with such an obviously faked document.

  There are problems with the signature as well that makes experts think the
signature is a cut a paste job of a signature from another document.
