Sources indicate that mysterious documents may point to a homosexual affair between Dan and Hillary. Experts are divided on whether this might in fact constitute a rare form of bestiality.

---Before we go any further, it is necessary for the Kerry campaign and the Democratic National Committee to disclose any and all known contacts between themselves and Bill Burkett.

Whatever the exact circumstances, this man certainly did assist in attempting to defraud the American people and everyone deserves to know if and how he was assisted by both the Kerry campaign the DNC which, after all, must have had some forewarning of this attack to prepare its disastrous "Operation Fortunate Son."

More importantly, however, what we need to establish is this: did the documents originate with Burkett, or did some other individual or group use a gullible Burkett as a conduit for fake papers, knowing that, given his past history of mental problems, he would make an easy patsy if things went wrong?---

There were earlier reports of these documents floating around the DNC as early as April, and that it was decided to pass them on to the Kerry campaign. The Kerry campaign might then have decided to save them for a possible October surprise.

In August however, the Kerry campaign was reeling from the Swift Boat attacks and is falling in the polls. They despreratly needed to change the subject. Through, possibly the Democratic Party in Texas, they make these documents available to Burkett, making him think he's discovered something big. He tries contacting the Kerry campaign and they put him on to Cleland, who pongs him back to the Kerry campaign.

Now the documents have been laundered and the Kerry campaign coordinates with CBS for the 60 Minutes spot and the DNC for operation Fortunate Son.

Burkett is just a pawn in their game.

Unfortunately, it's wishful thinking on your part. Rather = "It's all about ME" mentality". Humbleness and repentance is impossible for these types.

---Or maybe Burkett faxed the memos while Burkett's information was simultaneously being spoon-fed to CBS through Democratic back channels. CBS, anxious to get out this negative story about Bush, might have treated the collaborating sources as corroborative. Then CBS on their own initiative might have garnered the other weak collaborating evidence such as the opinions of handwriting experts and so on. (For the most part this secondary weak evidence has all been discredited by now).---

It would look to CBS like they were on to something big, a break in the story they'd been pursuing for years, but they'd have to act fast or someone else would get "their story".

Both: PERP for his actions in promulgating the hoax. PATSY in that the DNC/Kerry Campaign/CBS jackanapes need a fall guy.

there is no way that the msm will be on this story like they would if it was bush and republicans caught in the act....

if cbs burns both burkett and cleland, kerry will lose his 'disabled vet photo-op guy', so i'd be surprised if the kerry camp would allow cbs to burn cleland on this

if cbs does say they are firing anyone.....look for that person to surface again in a couple months with a nice raise at another less-visible position as compensation for 'taking one for the team'.....they'd risk that person coming forward with the truth if they don't pay off the patsy

wonder how the DUmmies are spinning this since all of their theories had karl rove behind it all?
