Of course a Kerry operative is going to pursue leads. Why shouldn't he? Bashing Lockhart is a non starter. If the Kerry campaign was in the chain of custody of the forged documents, that is another matter.

Toire, every person with 6th degree links to the Bush campaign and 1st degree links to the Swiftees has resigned from the Bush Campaign.

Lockhart and Max are goners. Mapes goes to journalism jail without passing go.

Burkett gets another 6 months on Nurse Ratchets ward.

Life in the political realm is good. Enjoy it.

I agree on the Mapes part. My point about Lockhart was that he exhibited a very poor lack of seriousness and judgement about his contacting a supposedly-sacrosanct source of CBS' who could do damage to the Bush campaign on the very same advice of that supposedly non-partisan producer at CBS.

He's an indication of the lack of "gravitas" with which the Kerry campaign has conducted itself so far. And they want the keys to war machine back in their sweaty little palms? :-)
