Burkett is now saying he received the documents from a mysterious stranger at the Houston Livestock Show.This isn't quite accurate. He says he got them at the Houston Livestock show. He doesn't say anything about who gave them to him. Then he says he lied to CBS about the source after CBS pressured him about chain of custody--told them it was a former Guardsman who was overseas now.

"I believe the correct spelling is "HUGH". ;-)"
To spell it h-u-g-e is a hugh error. A series error.

If you really want to drive the DU'ers wacko, suggest to them that a Bush landslide victory will only pave the way for eight years of Jeb Bush.
To: Pres Raygun
This allows the DNC to admit they received the documents in August, but knew they were fake and ignored them. CBS and Rather are not the target. The DNC was involved and we have to prove it.If they knew they were fake, why did they use the memos in the Fortunate Son ads?
To: sinkspur
That is why Mapes is gone. She tipped off a partisan campaign to get the story as a quid pro quo. I can't imagine CBS will give her a bye for that one.

I say we put off the election until all this has been settled.

With all the opportunity that exists in America, I am amazed at the negativity from that side. Well, we were pretty negative during the impeachment wars, but on the other hand, "Dem" Rather and the rest of his Lefty sidekicks in the MSM hadn't been outed then, so we just had to suffer with beginning to expose them.

Then y'all may have missed the best line of the night.
Fox News.....Brit Hume with the "panel".......discussing this whole debacle.
Totally, wholly ripped CBS; the whole panel......then the gentleman who is now with the Washington Post (I'm terribly sorry that I've forgotten his name; mustache, academic-looking, intelligent) was saying how it was unconscienable for CBS to go to a man who had a "bone to pick with Bush".......and Brit Hume (God bless 'im) says something to the effect of "multiple bones to pick", obviously referring to Rather's long-standing feud with the Bush family.
It was priceless, got a real chuckle out of the whole panel, and was absolutely DEAD on.
This............this..............is why I trust Brit and his news show.

"I just came from DUmmyland, they are threading about where they are going to move to after Bush wins. I say sayanora, commies."
Ha ha! Love it. I call liberals commies all the time too. Because well...they are.

Which would account for how Hillary knew more before Rumsfeld did.

First I've heard of "douped". When did that one hit?

If they knew they were fake, why did they use the memos in the Fortunate Son ads? Because Karl Rove tricked them into it, even AFTER they knew they were fakes? ;-)
Good point - kind of like Wile E. Coyote, SuperGenius.

"If they knew they were fake, why did they use the memos in the Fortunate Son ads?" Didn't think they'd get caught. Ignorant of the ways of the pajamahadeen.

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."
Lockhart has denied that he talked about the documents with Burkett. The thing is, he has said it it possible that the CBS producer told him of documents. Well she would have to tell him something about why she was in contact with Burkett and needed him to call Burkett. So CBS was in contact with the Kerry campaign about the documents. They could not have gotten the documents without making that contact.
