I think the chain from Burkett to Kerry Campaign to CBS is dead on.
That's why Rather is in such a dither and won't reveal the source. If it was Burkett, he'd dump the chump in a heartbeat.
I bet they are trying to get Burkett to take the fall as the source that GAVE them the docs. But he's got an attorney who's telling him he's in enough trouble already without adding another federal charge (interstate trafficing or somesuch) to the list.
Once someone hires an attorney, you know their in on it.
Here's the thing about people who are legitimately unstable. They operate in their own world. I don't think Burkett knows the plot, but he won't take a bullet for the DNC. If they offer him up, watch him turn so quick heads will spin. He may be mad at Bush, but the DNC are going to stab him in the back - big difference. He has some obvious delusions of granduer and paranoia - not a good mix.
I am betting the secret service has tabs on him, so he won't be "committing suicide" any time soon either.
If you read comments from his attorney today, his attorney (read about him upthread) sounded pretty nervous. If Burkett decides to unload, which he might, it will be all over. He didn't type the memos - they were interspersed with his stuff to make it look like they came from him. As for the Kinko's account? Well, yes. He's been faxing them to everybody. He's nuts.
He'll unload on one of those reporters if some law enforcement shows up to talk to him. Just watch.
IMHO ; )
