He may have been unsuccessful at first, but I think Burkett's motto is "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again". And he did.

Cleland is now on record confirming that he spoke with Burkett and referred him to the Kerry campaign.

True. He was also incredibly dismissive.

Yeah, and I wonder why he said that. He must know someone has tied him to this.

Exactly, it seems the NYT is building the case that the Kerryistas secretly referred the forger to CBS, for THEM to follow it up, which is how this is done. That way they can claim no connection.

Some on this thread fear the NYT is covering for CBS. But I'm with those thinking the journal sharks are smelling blood. (By the way, they seem to be sidestepping Van Os in this piece, though his connections to the DNC are deep.)

It doesn't matter, sooner or later some shark connects the unconnected dots. It's what makes them tick.
