60 Minutes Equal Time Clock

More on the 60 Minutes hatchet job later. For now I’m working on a piece of code to track the days since tonights broadcast. When 60 Minutes air a comparable story on John Kerry the clock will stop. Note that it’s not actually a clock, but more of a counter. The number of days in the bolded text is what changes. I’m looking for a digital clock representation.

Update: The code to show the clock on your own web site is available below. I’m open to suggestions on the wording.

Ken Summers suggests this counter:

Update 2: Powerline makes the case that the memos used on 60 Minutes II were forgeries. Glenn Reynolds is tracking response to the story here.

Update 3: IBM started making proportional spaced typewritters in 1941. Still the fact that these memos magically turn up 7 weeks before an election with no background and a dead author is pretty fishy…

I read this post for the first time today and I have been quite amused. I laughed out loud at some of the hilarious accusations posted by oldradus and Ira. By the way, Matt, the kool-aid crack was great. I am amazed at the complaining about mudslinging and reports of unfounded attacks on Kerry, with subsequent responses of the exact same ilk. Is it that hard to see that when JK refuses to sign 180 and changes his story and refuses to give interviews, and lashes out at the Vice President in Ohio saying that he questioned his (JK’s) patriotism (when in fact he said the opposite) that Kerry is the one with something to hide? Why support a guy like this. Is Pres. W. that evil that he has to be stopped even if it means electing a guy who can’t even stick to his own story? What part of this is so hard to understand? JK has proven through his own words that he can’t keep his facts straight. Can you trust him? I keep hearing about how this election is about National Security. Great! If that is true I think that Mr. “I was in Cambodia on Christmas Eve of ’68” is clearly not the right man for the job. Even so, I can’t imagine voting for this man to be an economic savior. Folks, the man said that he wants to raise taxes. Last time I checked even the great Pres. Clinton cut taxes. He seems to be the man by which all successful politicians are measured these days. So what is JK thinking? And what is the left thinking in even suggesting that he has the first clue about running this country? </p> </div> <div class="reply"> </div> </div> </div> </li> <div class="navigation"> <div
