I can't believe I didn't watch the political shows tonight. I'm out of the loop. So I hope the below won't sound dated and silly.

What I'm thinking is, someone with Army background had to be involved in composing the memos. Burkett's a Guard guy and would have used Guard lingo. Max Cleland was Army, right? So maybe it went like this: Burkett to Cleland. Cleland to Kerry Camp for typing and the like, and then to Mapes. Something like that.

When Slick Willy (I use that tired old epithet cause he hates it) spoke to Kerry on the phone and the story came out that Bill said, "John, don't talk about Vietnam anymore" I wondered - why are we being told this? Why is this in the press? 2-3 days later, the CBS story hits. CBS story was coordinated to be followed by DNC 'Fortunate Son."

It all stinks to high heaven! Yippee!

However, while we are enjoying this most heartily now - if I may speak for all Republicans and Conservatives everywhere - it's going to come back like bad food - as the Hillary 2008 Presidential Campaign.

So let's gather those rosebuds! (Am I the only one who dreams of seeing Terry McAuliffe in an orange jumpsuit?)

I work in the media and lately all I hear is, "I'm so sick of this story" and "I wish we didn't have to do this story." I got news for you poorleft-leaning kids, it's just getting good!

Yep! LOL

[mylife]

I enjoyed the show as well.

Thanks to you all for joining me in watching it

[samantha]

If we can stay on 'em, my friend.

I'd like to see the MSM tip-toe-ing around for a while...maybe they'll think before they spew our the DNC talking points, at least til after the election. (Can't be too greedy, can we?)

Burkett's a Guard guy

Burkett was Army National Guard.

But when the first CBS story quickly turned to the possibility of forgeries, they had to put everything else on the backburner. My guess, drug use, a rape or something else was going to be dropping over the next few weeks. Just a theory, but makes you wonder. Because was CBS came out with on Sept 8th, wasn't a big deal if even true. Most of it was already known or suspected by almost everyone. Where was the story?

It was all supposed to tie together the cocaine angle.

They've been sloppy before! It's just that they got away with it,because they could. Now,they can't. :-)

It's exactly like Watergate, which is why the RATS are so scared. The damage done to the presidency, to Nixon, to the republican party, lasted decades. And the RATS did it with full collusion of the press, tv congressional hearings, the whole nine yards. They're terrified of that now. The WH must be laughing their heads off...imagine being given forged docs and handing them back without comment. Talk about giving the RATs enough rope to hang themselves.

This is bigger than watergate chomper

Are you serious? She really said that?

What a hateful witch.

[GOPJ]

BINGO:

This is a conspiracy between CBS news, the DNC and the Kerry campaign to take down a sitting US President.

"Coming from Pat - echoing Rush is quite humorous."

I know. :)

[bootyist-monk]

From the USA Today article:

The White House said CBS' contact with Lockhart was inappropriate. "The fact that CBS News would coordinate with the most senior levels of Sen. Kerry's campaign to attack the President is a stunning and deeply troubling revelation," said Dan Bartlett, White House communications director.

They can smell the blood in the water.

This is NOT Ashcroft's job! And neither was any of the other things you cited. Do yourself a favor and find out what's what,before you rant about things you don't know about nor understand.

[Big Giant Head]

Hey, I'm a lady!!! Honest! LOL.

I can vouch for you. You made the blanket for Marie Antoinette's baby Lauren and gave it to her at the MFJ.
