The only thing that threw a monkeywrench into this tidy little two-pronged attack was the fact that the Rather story got torpedoed by a sharp-eyed FReeper.
Hey, I still got a question, and it seems like even the conservatives are ignoring it. Specifically,
Who forged the memo? It was obviously meant to damage Bush, but who created it? Who is this mysterious "Lucy Ramirez"? I hate to say it, but it's almost like the press has decided that Burkett is the end of the line, the fall guy. And if he didn't fake the memos, somebody did, somebody who was out to get Bush and affect the results of the election dishonestly.
Who?
The leftwingers are claiming it's Karl Rove, my money is on Terry McCauliffe. But no matter who it is, I want to know.
Has anyone called the agency that produced the ad to find out when it was produced?
I don't think Burkett did, but he might have. Regardless of the affiliation of the forger, the DNC and Kerry campaign are up to their eyeballs in this, and CBS is going to be exposed as working in at least loose coordination (maybe through a small number of strategically placed operatives) with the DNC and Kerry campaign.
The other media outlets likewise work in harmony with the Democrat party, but instead of being caught in direct coordination, operate with selective and biased reporting.
Anyway, I speculate that a mid to lower-level party hack crafted the forgeries, and that Burkett was the bag man. Like CBS, Burkett wants to believe the forgeries are true.
