Hardball Appearance led Burkett to Contact from Mystery Woman, Alleged Source of Documents
Drudge Report ^ | 9/21/04 | HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity

Drudge has posted a link to a USA Today article claiming it was after an appearance on Hardball that Burkett was contacted by a mystery woman, Lucy Ramirez, whom he claims was the source of the fake documents passed to CBS.

Burkett wrote the documents himself and is now making up this Lucy contact to deflect possible prosecution for forgery. Bloggers have already spotted similar words and phrases between the memos and online rants that Burkett posted.

Do we have anyone out there in blog land with credentials in the field of forensic linguistics? People with that kind of training can look at phrases and word usage and determine probable authorship. It may be difficult in this case because of the limited number of pages of sample we're dealing with (only four pages, most of which only contain a few paragraphs of text), but it may be enough to draw at least a preliminary scientific indication on whether burkett was the author.

I wonder if this is the same Lucy - Hinojosa is a (D) and this Lucy does head up a rather large health organization concerning itself with HIV/AIDS - that would presumably benefit under (D) liberalized health care

Hinojosa goes on the say she'd be good in politics

not much else googles

So he continues to believe the story even after he has changed the details.

He really needs a doctor then.

(Deep in the Basement of the Whitehouse -- cast of characters: Karl "the evil genious" Rove, Dick "halliburton" Cheney, Ed "Gentle Giant" Gillespie, The Ghost of Lee Atwater)

Karl Rove (Praying at the Lee Atwater Alter) - Oh great God of Republican dirty tricks, what is thy bidding

Ghost of Lee - Go forth good Karl and distribute thy bogus documents. Fins thou a Texas Patsy who shall forward them to CBS

Karl - yesy yes, That guy --what's his name - Burkett!!! He will do nicely

Lee - Very good my son, soon you will be ready to be the master. Once thou hath passed thy documents, sit back and watch the fireworks.

Ed Gillespie - Oh what a wonderful plan! I already have our indignant statements ready to release as the Dems and Dan Rather go down in flames.

Scott McClellan - same here. We are ready in the WH, and as usual the big D has no clue. I think he was upstairs watching cartoons while Colin was drafting his UN speech, and Condi was running the War in Iraq.

Dick Cheney (getting off the phone with Halliburton) - Everything is set on this end, Halliburton will get the next $500 billions in government contracts

Karl, Lee, Scott, Ed - ???????

Dick - Oops sorry, wrong conversation. SO, I get to be Lucy right? I've always wanted to be a Lucy.

have grave doubts that this Lucy Ramirez even exists. In my opinion this is a smokescreen that Rather dreamed up.

Besides if she ever existed, what angry white Republican would have the ball$ to go after a latina women? These are the the pillars of the Democratic Party's voter blocks.

It has taken this much time to prepare a script. Either that or accuse Burkett of insanity.

South Texas is sure a long way from Marty's Iowa Workshop. i wonder if this is all just a diversion?

It would be simple to do.

You know... that will be the argument. And maybe a really thoughtful Karl Rove would come up with a trusted female source to pawn herself off on Burkett as a sympathizer with these obviously forged documents, knowing that it would take less than a day for the bottom to drop out of the thing.... but man... if one of our guys was smart enough to scheme and pull that off.... I just say "way to go". What Burkett and CBS did with the memo's after they got them is still the story. Would be nice to know who typed them... but it's not the story... (unless CBS or the Kerry Campaign typed them) :)
