John Edwards should withdraw from a losing campaign and represent him. Together, an empty suit pretty boy and a mental patient could end up owning Viacom.

1. Right. It's a payoff.

2. And it's a way to cease responding to further questions, due to "pending litigation".

Neat.

You got it. It is a play to keep everyone from finding out what we need to know.

Is that sorta like being invited to a jammie party, then finding out its just you, Ann, Laura, and Michele, and Heather Nauert is there to provide coverage?

OMG, this just gets better and better. Maybe old Burkett isn't as dumb as everyone thought.

He's gonna get a big payoff from Rather/CBS.

If Burkett sues, does discovery "out" everybody ?

See my post #5. It won't go to trial. They will sign a mutual nondisclosure.

"Burkett could be "JimMCDougaled"."

Or Boorda'ed, Or Fostered, Or Yerkeyed thoeugh I guess McDougaled is the most apt verb.

This guy is certifiable; the more he talks the better it is for Bush.

And he makes anybody else who talks about Bush's TANG service look like a complete whack job.

They probably negotiated this in advance: "if you play the fall guy, we'll find a way to compensate you."

Rather still has a job? The longer he stays on, the more CBS heads should roll.
