USA TODAY TO REPORT THAT BURKETT WOULD ONLY TALK TO CBS IF IT SERVED AS INTERMEDIARY TO DNC!!

Scarborough Country- msnbc | 9/21/2004 | USA TODAY

Heard on Joe Scarborough--talking about it now.

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Lets get serious here, folks. The DNC and CBS would only have risked this level of coordination if they have done this so many times that it was standard operating procedure. We have a great time with this ever evolving story, but this is beyond the pale. Not funny any more, this has grown into a situation that could have brought down a President. That was the goal. We must stop this cancer now.

Glad to be here (but really angry now), MOgirl

They just stated on Joe Scarborough that Joe Lockjaw will be fired from the campaign within 48 to 72 hours.

I don't think they will fire him - he'll quit first. Look for several other high profile folks to leave the campaign in the next few days.

This is the implosion of the Kerry campaign taking place before our eyes.

[an amused spectator]

hmm .. now this is what you call a rumor .. pure and simple. There is nothing to back this up. Let's not get carried away until there is something more substantial to go on.

Sinkie don't go to the bother of posting an article if it's _cBS. He's been around here long enough to know better than most.

The USA Today quotes Burkett: "Neither the Democratic Party or the Kerry campaign had anything to do with the documents" Did they say "OR" and not "NOR" or did you? /Remembers defining what "IS" is

This is exactly why Cleeland and Lockhart got their stories ou there so fast. They knew someone was going to start looking at phone records.

You nailed it! As soon as I saw the Cleland story yesterday I knew something big was going to pop. It was clear that Cleland was trying to get his story out first.

SeeBS has only one chance to regain any credibility. A Viacom honcho will demand that the liberal bias stop now and rat out the source of the fake memo.

Viacom knows that any sugarcoating of their "investigation" will allow the stench to linger forever in the SeeBS anchor chair.

I predict that SeeBS will point to the Democratic National Committee as they turn on their bed partner. This is the only way for Viacom to save the franchise of SeeBS.

For Viacom, the health of SeeBS is more important than their liberal Democratic agenda.

Kerry is going down for the final count.

I agree that Lockhart is gone by the end of the week. He will do the "Berger thing" and resign as to prevent further "distraction" to the Kerry campaign. The news breaks the last hour are staggering. It takes some of the focus off of CBS and Rather. Maybe that is what CBS's strategy is. Hmmmmm......

[sinkspur]

You're going to be one of the names on the timeline that brings down a Democrat Presidential candidate and a Massachusetts Senator.

According to the imbeciles on Air America, this was all set up by Karl Rove.

"Clinton's fingerprints all over it."

Yeah, I can't wait to see ol' bugeyed Joe explainin' how black is white and up is down. Just like the old days.

[AmericanMade1776]

Now let me see...we now have proof that the forged Documents were released on 60 Minutes in a coordinated effort with CBS, Rather, and Lockhart representing the Kerry Campaign? Sounds like something is not Kosher here!

Hmmm. How does that fit with this thread:

A few summary thoughts...

This SeeBSDNCKerryCamp story has legs... and after it runs around the base of the mountain a few more times in the apoplectic MSM... It will hang around the Kerry campaign like a large millstone -- sinking rapidly through 40 fathoms...

SCHLockhart...et als -- are Klintoon "plants".. likely sent to perp this whole fracas... aka "torpedo" JF'nK... (the ol' naval 'in-you-end-OH!)

Blather is outta here... but only after the first round of firings (Mapes...etc. @ SeeBS; SCHLockhart + more @ KerryCamp)

Some of this will stick to MadMax... We voted him out of office for good reasons... we will keep him out.

You should have seen H&C. Hannity is calling on the Kerry campaign and DNC to release phone records.

Dang! I bailed on H&C halfway through, because I thought FR wouuld be more fun.

Which Demmie did Sean force-feed crow to?

[Howlin]

Not me. And I'll say for the record now, I am NOT associated with the KKK......LOL.

[wny]

I don't trust USA Today either. That rag out Michael Moron the front page, above the fold, touting his F911 screed. it never occured to them it was BS.

[af_vet_1981]

No freaking way! bump

Yep, the Democrat Party has become the party of Nixon they despised.

According to the imbeciles on Air America, this was all set up by Karl Rove.

McAuliffe was suggesting this last week!
