Oh wait, that's not Burkett, that's some other nutcase.

Burkett just hasn't been the same since he was kidnapped and anal-probed by aliens in 1979.
He' a nut case.
Seems like prime suspect number 1 in this case.
I don't think Burkett is the source of the documents. I think he is the inspiration for them.
My first guess was Barnes, another nut case.
It's funny, that CBS described the source as being "unimpeachable."
That's it! The source is Bill Clinton!
Is this President Bush (41), out of office for 6 years in 1998, or is it President (then Governor) Bush (43) two+ years from assuming office in 1998?
Or does the Governor of Texas (in 1998) have other powers we are not aware of.
Something fishy here?
Who are you going to believe concerning what Col. Killian, Bush's one-time superior officer, thought about Bush: Killian's family and co-workers or Bill Burkett? Remember, before you answer, that DAN RATHER believes Bill Burkett.
Never mind your lying eyes and a few so-called experts with their nonsense about those rock-solid memos. CBS News, a panel of prestigious experts we refuse to name, and DAN RATHER believe Bill Burkett.
I would hope that's all you need to know.

"The issue here is not that Bill Burkett is a liberal. It isn't even that he is left wing. The issue is that he is loony left. We are in "precious bodily fluids" territory. I'm not calling Burkett a Democrat because I think he is too far left to be a Democrat. This is the left wing version of the John Birch Society."
If it wasn't for that crack about Kyoto, I'd say he sounds very much like Lew Rockwell and his crowd. Or, maybe a Buchanan supporter. But, his comment about Kyoto puts him square into the Kerry camp.
I think Kerry said that Bush's withdrawal from Kyoto was why Bush couldn't get a 'coalition'. Very much implying he, Kerry, was all in favor of Kyoto. Bush should certainly challenge Kerry on this support.
I dont think so, this Bill Burkett who Newsweek is calling primesuspect number 1 in rathergate is not a Bush supporter.
That would be "If he IS the source" sheesh, spell-check, wouldya?
> Seems like prime suspect number 1 in this case.
"Person of interest" - let's stay out of libel territory here.
One thing that points away from Burkett is that he almost
certainly knows what TXANG memos are supposed to look like.
In my view, Barnes is more interesting, both because he's
been pushing the Bush-AWOL story longer, and because he
probably has no fluency in ANG memo formatting.
There are other parties positioned and motivated to
execute the forgeries as well.
I think the state of texas has its own VA system for guardsmen, somebody can coorect me on this.
W0W I was about to say I saw BG Burkett speak at the Viet Vets for Truth Rally yesteday on capitol hill and He's one of the good ones!
