Dear mabelkitty,
He may be a nutjob, but that doesn't distinguish him from a large part of his party, including, most likely, the nominee and the fellow who almost became the nominee (Dean).
He appears to have access, at least in the Texas Democrat Party. He has known Mr. Van Os for some years, now, and led Mr. Van Os's attempt to become the head of the Texas Democrat Party. Are you saying that someone in this position has no access? Could you explain the discrepancy between your claim and the evidence?
Of course he's being used. But he has a pretty good idea that he's being used, I think. And he goes along with it because: he's a committed Democrat; and he's a pretty typical Democrat looney.

No. I'm not going to clog the thread on a distraction, and Burkett is a distraction - not the source or the brains.
