freakin' hilarious!
I posted on this FR thread (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1222128/posts?q=1&&page=224#224):
"Burkett's own doubts about the authenticity of the memos and his inability to supply evidence to show that Ramirez exists also raise questions about his credibility.
Lucy Ramirez = Robin Rather???
""Conn, the Texas Guard friend Burkett initially identified as the source of the documents, denied any connection in an e-mail exchange with USA TODAY. He wrote: "Know absolutely nothing about the Killian memos."
From the Boston Globe:
"...Retired Lieutenant Colonel Bill Burkett, who has been pressing his charges in the national news media this week, says he even heard one high-ranking officer issue a 1997 order to sanitize the Bush file, and later saw another officer poring over the records and discovered that some had been discarded.
But a key witness to some of the events described by Burkett has told the Globe that the central elements of his story are false.
George O. Conn, a former chief warrant officer with the Guard and a friend of Burkett's, is the person whom Burkett says led him to the room where the Bush records were being vetted. But Conn says he never saw anyone combing through the Bush file or discarding records.
"I have no recall of that," Conn said. "I have no recall of that whatsoever. None. Zip. Nada." Conn's recollection also undercuts another of Burkett's central allegations: that he overheard Bush's onetime chief of staff, Joe M. Allbaugh, telling a Texas Guard general to make sure there were no embarrassments in the Bush record."
PS. The Boston Globe story above is from July of this year. Burkett has been using George Conn as his reference for these events since 2002...which he denies. What I don't understand is if these allegations are true, why has Burkett only brought them up in the last couple years, since even according to him, he supposedly heard these things back in 1997?
Here are some Lucies. I hope she's the one in the lower right corner :)

What is MOS number for that?
May not be the right one, but she gets praised in the above article by Dem. Congressman Hinojosa Texas-15.
At a time when medical facilities throughout the nation are closing their doors or at least cutting services, Nuestra Clinica continues to grow and touch more lives. The reason for this progress is that Lucy Ramirez knows how to facilitate local and federal partnerships. This groundbreaking for the new San Juan facility is the result of the coordination of funding from two federal agencies, land donated from the city, and assistance from my congressional office...all brought together by Ms. Ramirez. With her unique brand of diplomacy skills and fundraising ability, she could have a great career in politics! But, as you know, we really need her here at the helm of Nuestra Clinica. The address is Pharr Texas which is far from Houston. It's about as far south as you can go in Texas. Probably not the "right" Lucy.
Me too. I'd love to see her on the Sunday shows. ;-)
Mark for later...
This guy Burkett's hatred of Dubya is so intense that it doesn't just make him stupid, it actually sends him into convulsions.
Who exactly is George Conn?
MAN, if this guy knew how to make a bomb, he'd never have bothered with faking the documents. What a nut job. But he has a lot of company. I saw some of em protesting the W ralley the other day.
Ok this has G. Gordon Liddy's hands all over it....Lucy is a Cuban...the plan was to dupe Burkett in to giving the Dems the docs and to a news orgainization. Old Dan took the bait....
Wow those crafty Republicans did it again.....
Yep, I found that one too.
From that article, George O. Conn is a former chief warrant officer with the Guard and a friend of Burkett's..."
Later in the article it states that he is currently a civilian government employee working with the Army in Germany. Other than that, all I know is that he is the same source that Burkett likes to use as a witness to his claims...which Conn keeps denying.
Many thanks. Could George O. Conn be Lucy Ramirez?
That would be Yvette Lozano...
