Burnett was hospitalized for depression? Maybe he met Mike Wallace there.

Burkett has been lawyered up for some time now with a democrat lawyer from San Antonio. why?

A good question that I can't answer. His lawyer(according to Drudge) is quite the lefty. He's looking for a spot on the TX Supreme Court too.

"Exactly. But, be careful now... people will wonder if you own stock in Reynold's Wrap!"

No kidding. This whole Rathergate is so weird. And I AM beginning to laugh at all my conjecture and theory. Time to catch some sleep :)

CBS execs are NOT stupid, they are just pretending to be.

I don't know if the rest of your theory is right or not but arrogance can take you just as far out on a limb as stupidity. (speaking of the CBS execs, of course)

...just makes you look like an unoriginal idiot.

All you're unoriginal idiots belong to us...

Further down in the Democrat link Burky wrote... "Documentation of complicitous activity may have surfaced within the flurry of drill training activity following the Alabama period. The exact and irrefutable evidence of such is not convincing, yet to me based upon a review of the same records, though there are serious changes within the methodology employed both at the unit and at State headquarters for 1LT Bush. It could be argued that this could have occurred by a wake up call at all levels sounded by LTC Killians comments and the justifications he would have been required at higher levels of command to make such comments."

Could he be alluding to the fakes?

In the game of HOT and COLD, you are the hottest, so far.

The REAL perpetrator is someone that Rather and dnCBS would LITERALLY put their careers and the entire dnCBS news organization in jeopardy of collapsing for.

Or in Rather's case is blood thicker than water?

Okay, this is an inside joke I've noticed for some time. Someone clue me in pls?

We could tell you, but the Viking Kitties would have to get you with their Beebers set on Stune...

Did you see this thread on the DNC/Kerry camp/Texas connections?

..is blood thicker than water?

Barnes and Rather's daughter might have teemed up for it:

Oh, and I love this - as if there isn't enough reason to wonder about the bias of Dan Rather and company: Ben Barnes, the Democratic lobbyist and former lieutenant governor of Texas who was featured prominently in the 60 Minutes report that triggered the Memogate controversy, was the co-sponsor of a fund-raiser for a liberal district attorney in Texas along with Dan Rather's daughter, Robin, an Austin-based environmental activist. According to the web site of Ronnie Earle, district attorney for Travis County, Texas, Ben Barnes and Robin Rather were among a the small group of sponsors for an October 3, 2000 fund-raising event for Earle's reelection campaign. In 2001, Dan Rather was the keynote speaker at a Travis County Democratic Party event. He spoke there at the behest of his daughter. Given the closeness of the Travis County, it's very likely that Ben Barnes was at the event. So why hasn't Dan come out and said that his family has close ties with Ben Barnes? I believe a little disclosure is in order Mr. Rather...

Thanks for the link. No, I had not seen that. CBS is dead they just don't know it yet.
