Heard on Joe Scarborough--talking about it now.
So basically, we have an employee of CBS admitting that it pimped a phony story, and coordinated the deception with the DNC by acting as a facilitator between their "source" and the Kerry campaign. Sweet Sassy Mollassy!
I believe the correct spelling is "HUGH". ;-)
"The amount of news that has broken in the last few minutes is absolutely staggering. The story is absolutely HUGH and about to get a lot bigger"
Is Hillery in the Barn, horse blanket off, getting heated up for her entrance?
i'm not sure that this is damaging to the dems. after all, they can note that HE made this a stipulation and they wouldn't speak with him. they also can deny that they spoke of the documents. this can be spun into a positive for them.
If Joe is an "unpaid" volunteer like the Kerry campaign says, why should he stick around for free and get pounded into the ground? He must be a paid staffer or he'd been outta there the night Rather broke the the story. Or....he could be just plain stupid. I think he stepped into a great big Texas cowpie and can't get the goo off his foot.
Remember...Dams don't resign, only Republicans have the conscience to do that...
Dems keep on lying and spinning themselves into the grave.
Pity.
Nobody will believe anything any of these people say. They have no credibility.
The blood's in the water. I expect some investigative reporters want to be the next Woodward and Bernstein, and are digging, as we speak.
I think Burkett was merely the "beard" in the operation. He's covering for someone else. Surely Kerry, Mapes, Rather and comrads knew of Burkett's checkered past if all of us did (The Hatfield book in 2000) and used him as the dirty rag.
The pajama squad is on it. Ole Wouldward & Burnedstine kinda gettin left in the dust on this story.
Yes but the DU fanatics could reasonably argue that since it is a CBS employee admitting it we need a more reliable source before we go with it.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAH, check out this post by "efhmc" of DU.
"Is there really any reason not to off myself. Because I absolutely cannot give my 2 grandsons and my 2 daughters 4 more years of the horrible, disgusting, life in the US of the power hungry, white, stupid, oil rich male regime of the bushes!!!! I am known as the rosy colored glasses optomist of most group but I am absolutely freaking out at the possibility of the hell that may be in front of us. HELP!!!
Wow! If he/she is the rosy colored glasses optomist of most group, then I'd hate to see the bill for the rest of the group Prozac costs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!!
Paging Janet Reno. Unimpeachable stonewaller assistance needed here.
Really? Last I saw they were spinning LSD-fueled Rove conspiracy theories. Best one held that Rather was a GOP plant --for the past 35 years.
You're dead on. FREEPERS!!!!!!!!
The last post on DU is conceding the election.... its filled with a bunch of "end of the world" fever dream stuff as well.... but they are done... and they know it...
The lid has come off the DNC/media conspiracy/love affair. Hopefully some positive change will come from this. Maybe the news media will get back to reporting the news instead of spinning their opinions....
Don't count on it going very far. What ever happened about the guy who stuffed classified papers in his socks and drawers? Have you heard much about that recently? The media is the media.
From this cozy scenario I'll bet Mapes also gave Abu Ghirab updates early to Dem Senators to try and hijack Abu Ghirab hearings with Dir. of Defense..
