No point in belittling people for their looks.

Ideology is plenty enough.

Rather: "He (Burkett) did not come to us; we went to him."

Interviewing Burkett now....Burkett: "Your (Rather's) staff pressured me." Burkett: "I threw out a name to get the pressure off."

Finally. Third Segment. First section.

Further investigation.... cannot verify their authenticity.

Ohhh. CBS went to Burkett for the information.

Burkett initally said he got them from one source. Now, Burkett says he got them from a second unverified source.

I was pressured to provide the information.

"The documents puroported to show...."

"We can no longer vouch for their authenticity"

"provided by Bill Burkett. He did not come to us; we went to him and ASKED him for the documents."

"got them from a different source, one we cannot verify."

Burkett:

"Well I didn't TOTALLY mislead you, I did mislead you on the one individual. You know your source pressured me to give them the source."

"I simply threw out a name...to get the pressure off for a moment"

Claims did not forge anything.

Rather:

"Burkett still insists the documents are real."

"I'm sorry."

Thanks...what a laugh!

I love their idea of Kerry's "message" - jobs, healthcare and ending the war.

Too bad they are so stupid they don't understand that if we don't WIN the war on terror our jobs and healthcare will be worthless since we'll be DEAD!

Geez, why don't more Democrat women have the abortions they love so much and quit popping out these total idiots?
