So CBS is going to throw Burkett under the bus to protect Barnes the DNC and Rather.

When that's all you have . . .

This could go different ways:

1. Burkett is so consumed with bringing down Bush that he doesn't want it known that he worked with the DNC / Kerry campaign on this.

2. Or Burkett bails out, not wanting to go down in history as the loon who tried to use forgeries to bring down a President.

My bet is on #1.

Check out Burkett on Google... SeeBS will have their scapegoat. The guy is a certified WHACKO!

Odds are MSM will now focus on Burkett(and no farther) even though he's working for the Kerry Kampaign!

Too late for that now, at least as far as Rather is concerned. There is no scenario in which Rather survives at CBS. Even if we assume CBS can successfully set up Burkett as a lone gunman patsy, he was, then, Rather's "unimpeachable" source. No way a man like Rather receives even the minimum level of trust needed to anchor a major news organization if he is going to personally run a story based on such an obviously flimsy source and contniue to label it "unimpeachable" in the face of a maelstrom of criticism based on patently phony documents.

This is a dangerous game CBS is playing, and this will likely end up being a journalism school case study of what happens when a news bureau becomes beholden to one man.

Burkett better spill the beans before those responsible find his Jack Ruby. ( I'm only half kidding )

It's the reason why they choose helpers with credibility problems. Just like Clinton did. Over and over and over. And if Monica hadn't have kept that dress, we would never have had the evidence of his patterns. Regardless of the issue, it's the same MO.

I think it's too late for Danny boy. The DNC will probably squeek by, but Danny needed to pull his pants back up days ago.

Kralj, an Austin lobbyist, testified that Barnes and one of his assistants, sometimes passed on to him names of people wanting to get into the Guard; Kralj was a member of the Texas Air National Guard and an assistant to the late Gen. James Rose, head of the Texas Air National Guard. Kralj testified that he turned the names over to the general but did not know whether they were accepted. Kralj also said that he couldn't recall any of the names but that Bush's was not among them. "I guess the bottom line here we want is that I did not help George Bush Sr. or George Bush Jr. get in the National Guard," he said during questioning by Levine. Pressed further, Kralj said, "I didn't do it because I think that it would have been something that I would have remembered. He was a United States congressman. It would have been his son. I think I would have recalled something of that."

Article from 1999 Ben Barnes said he contacted Rose (ANG commander) by telephone on Bush's behalf. Under oath, this man said Barnes gave him the names and he passed them on to Rose. Barnes is behind this. What a liar!
