The only problem with Burkett as the source of the documents is that there are lots of errors in the documents that a Guardsman wouldn't make (like the Lt. Col abbreviations).

Burkett may be the bag man, but the person who wrote these memos was not in the Guard or the military.

If I'm not mistaken Begala is also from Texas. I'll look to see what part.
According to Judical Watch Deposition, He was born in New Jersey,
He attended High School in Sugarland TX.
He attended the University of Texas in Austin.

Sounds very plausible, but why would CBS fax docs from a Kinko's in Abilene? We need to get a date when the fax was sent.

BILL BURKETT USES ABILENE KINKOS [09/15 10:50 PM]

From: http://www.nationalreview.com/kerry/kerryspot.asp

"The Blogosphere has resources like nobody else.

Blogger and radio talk show host Kevin McCullough:

JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH ABILENE KINKOS: Bill Burkett has a standing account with the Kinkos in Abilene Texas, and while the lady who answered the phone would not be more specific she did say Burkett was in there last week - she waited on him on last (a week ago) Tuesday...."

I remember those "Cheaties" very well!

cheaties, or chads? hanging chads, pregnant chads, partial chads, indented chads... i truly hope not to relive that again... i was at a KINKOS (haha) when the Florida Supreme Kangaroo Court overturned that judge's (what was his name?) decision, and let the recount continue... i almost threw up, i was so upset... i went to my car and cried... and then we went to SCOTUS...

and i was having lunch in San Francisco when my husband called me to say SCOTUS stopped the recount (the first time)... it still was not over at that point...

"USA Today and several other papers received the forged memo's independently of CBS. Which means that someone was attempting to defraud the entire MSM and affect a federal elections, this is (as Dick Cheney would say) a BIG TIME!!! crime."

Looking that way... Forgery with malice is a problem. Neat how this circles back to the Kerry campaign.

You mean you got your scoop from a "NY Christain Radio"? Do they even have a news department?

Bill Burkett

Baird is a little-bity town. Both listings are the same jerk. If Dan Rather can pose as a journalist, why can't we play one and find out what's really going on? Heaven knows c-BS won't share with us. Let's call this guy and ask!!! BTW...Its busy.

Barnes...are from Austin not Abilene

I didn't say he was from Abilene. I said Barnes could be linked to both the Kerry campaign and to CBS -- and warranted the "unimpeachable source" designation.

It appears Rather fell for some sort of Con, and is now between a rock and a hard place.

He didn't fall, he participated. If it could be discovered here within an hour that the documents weren't likely authentic, CBS had to know as well. Rather didn't trust his source on the documents, in my opinion, he trusted the "recreations" they would be able to do if only they had a vehicle from which to launch the story. So you get Barnes, a partisan hack and some faked memos.

Here is the thing that makes me believe that CBS might really have a hand in writing this fiction...why are they the ones who got the story? If somebody is out there with fake memos don't you think they would have been shopped? But the story itself has been shopped in as much as it's around the internet without the current players. Rather himself gives this theory merit by saying there is too much focus on the authenticity of the memos, not the substance. Tonight he did it again by pushing the substance with a woman who admitted they were fakes. Rather has a history of doing this.

The bottom picture is an obvious forgery. Someone 'chopped dan Rather's face onto some fat lesbian.

What? They're real?

MY EYES!!!! AGHHH!!!!

---In Texas, 20 miles is around the corner. I dare say most folks in Baird go into "town" (Abilene) at least once a week. Sure there are FAX machines in Baird, these docs might have been prepared on a Kinko's computer to keep Burkett's hard drive clean. Same reason you'd want to use an "untraceable" fax.---

Perhaps someone from the Kerry campaign or DNC got the memos from Barnes and faxed them in Abeline before flying out. Or maybe it was done later to make a trail to Burkett. I'd like to see the date and time on those documents.
