[Prost1]

I wouldn't be surprised - Lucy (Heinz Kerry) Ramirez.

[The Right Stuff]

MM told the faithful not to drink the Koolade? What's that about?

[beckett]

The Austin American Statesman has pulled that story. Wonder why?

[Bluegrass Federalist]

You are too funny. You can't make stuff like that up.

[Bluegrass Federalist]

WINNER!!!

Hey enough with the Robin photos, I had to go to Ann Coulter.com for eye treatment.

But after all, they (MSM) managed to kick Swift Boats the air space.

"About an hour after the 60 Minutes story aired, Burkett also gave the documents to a USA TODAY reporter who had flown to meet him in Bozeman, Mont., where he said he was visiting friends"

Was Burkett visiting Kerry's ex-wife, Julia Stimson Thorne, and sister of Kerry's best friend? She just happens to live in Bozeman, Montana......

After he received the documents in Houston, Burkett said, he drove home, stopping on the way at a Kinko's shop in Waco to copy the six memos. In the parking lot outside, he said, he burned the ones he had been given and the envelope they were in.

What is it with Democrats... Waco and burning?

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

OOOO! OOOO! OOOO! Mr. Kotter, I saw that right away.

After he received the documents in Houston, Burkett said, he drove home, stopping on the way at a Kinko's shop in Waco to copy the six memos. In the parking lot outside, he said, he burned the ones he had been given and the envelope they were in.

Wonder if the Kinko's store has security cameras covering the parking lot. Someone should tell Burkett that they do just to see how he reacts.

Ultimately, Burkett decided to turn over the documents to one of the most persistent journalists, CBS producer Mary Mapes, sometime in August. He and his wife met Mapes and CBS reporter Mike Smith at a pizza restaurant a few miles from their ranch. At first he gave them only two of the six documents, which Mapes said she planned to have analyzed for authenticity, according to Burkett.

Burkett said he passed the rest of the documents to Smith around Sept. 5, at a drive-in restaurant near Baird.

One of the document examiners for CBS said the memo had a fax date of Sept. 2nd.

The trouble with those security cameras, aside from the probability his story is baloney, is that they wouldn't save
it unless there was a crime or something like that.

Someone who was there can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the 2004 Houston Livestock Show was at the Reliant Astrodome (for the last time) - moving next door to Reliant Stadium this year...

My sister, Lucy and I were in Houston in March for my Dad's heart surgery. I do know that the Rodeo was going on and we wanted to go but had to stay near the hospital.
