It sounds like the "Burkett as scapegoat" thing is taking hold (everywhere except at the Washington Post where they misfiled the DNC fax that Burkett was no longer on the team). You can expect the DNC to wash their hands of this guy as if he was found in a leper colony.
Sure, they'll claim they've never heard of the guy, that they are "shocked and disappointed" that anyone would forge documents, etc. when the truth is that their own little hand grenade had blown up in their faces (maxing Max Cleland the appropriate spokesperson since he knows well about such things).
Max Cleland burned the first time playing with a hand grenade.
Max Cleland burned the second time playing with a loose cannon.
No purple heart, both self inflicted.
