This thing will be reported on for the next 4 months!

I believe more like 2 to 4 years! Remember the Watergate break-in was in the summer of '72. Things didn't really get cooking until much, much later. This will go on for a VERY long time. GOOD. It's delicious!

Sounds like Burkett is burning the candle at both ends. But three nervous breakdowns in one interview; that has to be a record. I can't believe this is what these characters came up with after stonewalling for two weeks. Amateur hour.

Send them all to jail for plotting such a rotten coverup!!!

Burkett's voice froze in midsentence and his body convulsed in a violent seizure.

haha!....and then another voice emerged from his body, a voice unlike his own with a feminine hispanic lilt too. gradually his body lifted from its original prone position, and as his eyes fluttered open, it became apparent that he was no longer possessed by the personality of bill burkett but, RATHER, but the long sought but mysterious......LUCY RAMIREZ!!!

Sort of reminds of that wackjob up in Maine who somehow got a hold of the DUI records just before the 2000 election.

"where the f is waldo ramirez, i mean carmen san diego, er uh, lucy ramirez?"

Maybe she is hanging out with Manny Ortez, Kerry's fave Boston Red Sox player. Perhaps they are the co-chairs of "Ficticious Hispanics for Kerry".

Methinks the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy hath hoist itself upon its own petard.

This entire story would is too funny for words -- all these Demoncrats, FRothing at the mouth to regain their power and glory, shot down in not-so-glorious flames, by their own terribly misguided AA!

ROTFLMAO!

Maybe there is a chance that beginning on Nov. 3, we can start rebuilding our Republic on a Real Constitutional foundation.

And now for the latest edition of the DUmmie FUnnies on the subject of Memogate. My humble Tom Servo comments on the DUmmie universe are in the [brackets]:

I'm telling you, Dan Rather is on KKKarl Rove's payroll. He's on his knees in front of that fat, slimy, sleazeball like a WH intern.

[Uh-oh! This DUmmie is on to us! He has discovered our secret Rovian plot to pay off Dan Rather. Yes, every week KARL ROVE meets Dan late at night at a Manhattan Dunkin' Donuts and hands him a bag full of bills totalling $79. Oh, and at the next table over, gobbling down bag after bag of donuts, is a certain former WH intern.]

Kerry just has to be prepared for Rove. They'll try to make this crap stick and Kerry just has to ready for to counter it. I have faith that he's got good people around him who will come up with something great.

[Better check under your bed. KARL ROVE is probably there secretly taping you. Everywhere you look you will see KARL ROVE. See that dark shadow in the alley? It's KARL ROVE! And one of the "good people" around Kerry? It's KARL ROVE in disguise!!!]

I think it's time to stop letting them push us around. If they want to make a case out of these then we take them to court for the Swift Boats for Truth. CONGRESS WE DEMEND A INQUIRY FOR THAT! NO MORE DOUBLE STANDARDS!

[This was apparently posted by a DUmmie but it must really be KARL ROVE. Yet another devious Rovian plot to give publicity for the Swift Boats for Truth. Watch out, DUmmies! KARL ROVE is roving amongst you. Hee! Hee!]

I knew Rove and his fellow trolls were diabolical, but I never knew just how good they were until today. I tried catching bits and pieces of several news shows on most of the cable channels and every show talked about how this is going to, or already has, sunk Dan Rather's career and the credibility of CBS news. And you can see everyone's eyes sparkling with joy!! What a great story! "Oh, it's a dark day for journalism, but god I'm having an orgasm."

[Yes! It's all part of Rove's diabolical plot to drive the DUmmies completely insane.....and it's WORKING!!!]

I was so excited when cbs aired the memo show. I figured that this would tie the dink to his record and would point to his lack of integrity and vile habit of lying about everything.

[SNIFF! Yet another DUmmie victim of a diabolical Rovian plot.]

"Lucy Ramirez" is obviously not a real person. A woman using that name called Burkett, and arranged a meet. But she never showed up at the meet. Instead, a man passed Burkett the papers. I would not be surprised if the RNC were behind this--passing crude forgeries in an effort to discredit the Bush AWOL story.

[By God! This ingenious DUmmie discovered the plot. Lucy Ramirez=Karl Rove. Notice how both last names start with the letter "R".]

Give these women a call, and ask them. "ARE YOU THE LUCY RAMIREZ THAT CALLED BURKETT? DON'T LIE TO ME. TELL THE TRUTH."

["You want the truth? Okay, I'LL GIVE YOU THE TRUTH!!! MY NAME IS KARL ROVE AND I CALLED BURKETT USING A FALSETTO VOICE!!!"]

I Googled Lucy Ramirez in news, just the thread story so far. Who is she?

[It's a good thing you didn't google Lucy Ramirez at a Motel Six since she is really KARL ROVE.]

. Here's a Lucy Ramirez . . . as executive director of a hospital that serves the poor in Hidalgo County, Texas. But I'm sure there are thousands of Lucy Ramirez's in south Texas.

[And MILLIONS of Karl Roves EVERYWHERE. In fact there is a smirking KARL ROVE standing right behind you at this very moment.]

Lucy Ramirez in 2000 was the woman who gave Repigs Gore's... tape of his debate speech. She worked for the bush campaign. The whole thing was that she was set up by karl rove, but was forced to take the blame and was fired. Much like Dan Rather is taking the blame and he was only the messanger.

[KARL ROVE! KARL ROVE! SLOOOOOOOWLY I TURNED, STEP BY STEP...]

No way! Are you saying the tape thing was done by a 'Lucy Ramirez' style shadow figure?

[Need I even mention the name of that "shadow figure?" karl rove. Oops! Excuse me. That just slipped out.]

It was a Bush operative who gave a tape to the Gore campaign. Her name was Yvette Lozano.

[Lucy Ramirez. Yvette Lozano. The confusion is easily explained. All those Spanish names sound the same. But the real name of both of these operatives was....KARL ROVE.]

When something is as convoluted and obtuse as this story is, I see Karl Rove's fingerprints all over it. Keep looking behind the curtains, you're gonna find Rove eventually.

[I SEE KARL ROVE! I SEE KARL ROVE UNDER MY BED! BEHIND THE CURTAINS! IN THE SHOWER! IN MY BASEMENT! ON MY ROOF! SEE THAT SHADOW? IT'S KARL ROVE! KARL ROVE IS EVERYWHERE!!! AND NOW HE IS HIDING IN THE DEEP DARK CREVICES OF MY MIND! AND I CAN'T GET HIM OUT! AGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!}

And here's the guy, Roger Stone, who is the link Stone and Rove go way, way back to Reagan and Lee Atwater, may be the source of the documents. This is the same guy who organized and paid the Miami Mob during the recount and then went on to join Al Sharpton's campaign. Folks if this is true, we have a direct link to the WH.

[It doesn't matter if it is true or not. Just type up official looking documents tying them together on your computer and fax the papers from Kinkos to Mary Mapes at CBS News. And if it backfires, then it proves this was a diablolical KARL ROVE plot.]

So "Lucy" is the DNC mole from 2000 who gave the tape of W practicing to the Gore campaign? Wasn't there a criminal investigation out of that?

Curiouser and curiouser.

"Crawford, Texas, where Cleland was at 1pm on August 25, is only 162 miles from Baird, Bill Burkett's home.

Did Cleland make a visit there that day?"

Doubt it. Burkett would have to meet Cleland; Cleland wouldn't drive 162 miles out of his way to meet Burkett. Not a chance. Maybe they met somewhere in between, but I seriously doubt it. Risky as hell.

That said, I still am convinced that "I Blowed Myself Up REAL Good" Cleland is in this up to his little, piggy eyeballs.

Well, the specifics of who met whom where is the least significant aspect. What is important is if Cleland and Burkett met.

I do however think Cleland would make the trip for something as important as this to the Kerry campaign. It was not some unimportant whim. This was the foundation for the entire "Operation Fortunate Forgery" smear campaign that the DNC tried to roll out against Bush. This was to be their "trump card". Kerry's election hopes were pinned on it.
