“What we got was a bunch of mealy-mouthed bull****.”

I think van Os is an expert on the substance.

So the orcs and the urk-hai have begun
to fight amongst themselves.

Time to get out the comfy chair, get
some popcorn, and open a fine brew.

I have a little tiny bit of simpathy for Burkett only because I have epilepsy too, BUT I believe he is a moron and does not represent those of us with the condition very well...

>>>...CBS’ intention from the outset to cast Bill Burkett in an unfavorable light.

Burkett does a good job casting himself in an unfavorable light pretty well all by himself - he don't need no stinkin' tv network to do it...

"Bill did not go to CBS, CBS came to him. CBS spent all summer trying to pressure and coax Bill into letting them have copies of the documents that they believed he had"

Okay. Let me get this straight.

So, Billybobboy didn't have the documents.

But CBS thought he did.

And kept pressuring him to cough them up.

But he didn't have them.

But then he, all of the sudden, did have them!

How handy!

How convenient!

And then, he gave them to CBS. Who identified him as their unidentified "unimpeachable" source (man, you can't make this stuff up).

So that they could then "burn" Billbobboy and make him out to be a corrupt, psycho, evil, nut.

Which in turn casts a rather dubious light on CBS' news judgment, character judgment, not to say, basic intelligence.

They intended all along to "burn" their "unimpeachable" source.

These guys must have something really, really big to hide, something really, really criminal, to be so incoherent.

Mr. Van Os, if you're gonna lie to us, at least tell lies that are internally consistent.

LOL.

Wow van Os has such a way with words. one can see why he is a premier RAT lawyer. But the content is fascinating.

So Burkett got the docs under cloak and dagger arrangements eith no KNOWN source. and CBS (and apparently Kerry or the DNC kneww hae had thena dn what he had. Pretty good bet he was fed them by the Campaign or terrible terry in collusion with mape and rather. he was simply a patsy source for them to use for funneling this freadulent story.

So--CBS/DNC--who typed the docs????

Van Os is a loyal Rat and he sayus it was not them (Os and Burkett)

If you could trust this guy any more than you can trust Rather or Burkett you could really get some mileage here. But since it is ALL SPIN, it is useless info.

Has Burkett given any hint where he got the documents? I heard some Barbara Striesand story about a strange man handing him an envelope at
the Houston Fat Stock Show in March.

Sorry, Burkett is no victim. He had a pile of dog poop that he wanted to dump on our president.

"CBS spent all summer trying to pressure and coax Bill into letting them have copies of the documents "

IMHO, this coaxing was also probably the reason for the phone call from Lockhart. It was a tacit green light to Burkett that he had the go ahead from the Kerry campaign to give the documents to CBS. I doubt that Lockhart came out and directly told Burkett to release the docs.

Lockhart may have just said something like "Yes, Bill, we need to be aggressive in responding to the Swift Vets". But both he and Burkett knew the context and Burkett would have been able to read Lockhart's "between the lines" meaning.

Yup it was CBS's fault, Burkett was smart to burn the originals he received at the Livestock show and then not have his attorney contact a document examiner himself to authenticate them..oh it wasn't Burkett's fault that the docs had so many real errors also that he should have known about by comparing them to others ot the time period/sarcasm.

typical dem victim..

Maybe he will roll over big time now...hmm where was Van Os advice all this time, you know like turn the docs over to the FBI not the media...after all they were only copies, he could keep some if he thought the FBI might "cleanse them" Who told Burkett to lie, Van Os? Burkett had all summer to come up with a source why pull one out of the air at the last minute? Would they have gotten aired if the "real" source had been told to CBS? Fraud.

Ok....that does it, its time to photograph Dan Rather,Joe Lockhart, Mary Mapes , Burkett, and Andy Rooney in a pile of naked men wearing women's underwear on their head. We need to squeeze the info out of them and scare the hell out of the other CBS and DNC folks
