One scenario is that they (CBS, Burkett) were working together, with CBS using Burkett as in the past, as a source.
Perhaps little did CBS and Burkett know that this time, FR and the blogs would bust up their little scheme with unprecedented scrutiny and coverage.
Now they can't point their grimey fingers at each other fast enough.
Golly, who would have seen that coming?
"As I openly stated, backgrounded in excruciating detail to Mapes, Rather and CBS
Oh please Bill, don't pretend you didn't relish every moment of it.
Why would Burkett come up with such a ridiculous-sounding scenario of how he got the documents (even if it was his third one) and continue to stick with it?
I'll take 'Burkett's a complete looney tune' for $500 Alex.
Didn't Rather's mother ever tell him that if you lay down with crazy people you get up with your arms tied around your back?
"From Lucy Ramirez? That's good enough for me!"
I have some documents I got from an unknown man at the swine pavillion at the County Fair who claimed he represented the Unknown Woman in the Kangaroo Cowboy Boots. These suckers are veritable dynamite and I'm willing to sell them to CBS or NYT real, real cheap.
This guy will run for office, bet on it.
Lucy!!!!!You got some 'slpainin to do!!!!!
karmic bump
Mary Mapes looks and sounds to me like a psychopath. A psychopath obsessed with "getting Bush". I think it is entirely plausible that Mapes is, in fact, "Lucy Ramirez". She simply used the "anonymous man at a Texas livestock show" to launder the forgeries.
Not from Abilene Texas he wont.. He is a hated more than an overflowing toilet at a Texas chili cook-off.
Hey, Burkett can always move. Is he really that despised down there?
I tell you what, whenever I want good up to date news I always head to my nearest livestock show. You gotta watch those anonymous people with papers in their hands though.
I went to school down there. HARD CORE CONSERVATIVES. Yes he is shunned in the small community of Baird ( just outside Abilene) His family has been threatened. You see he not only betrayed the military, he betrayed a native son, a fellow texan.... he might as well have peed on the alamo, there some things you just don't do in Texas. Especially West Texas.
Yuk, yuk, yuk! Go, nut, go! I hope this loon sues SeeBS and danny for years!
(It's all Rove's fault. Pass it on.)
So which Texas prosecutor has the guts and the brains to take up
the case? When will we get to see the trial of this young century?Oh, Ronnie Earle will step forward I'm sure!
Oh, wait! Burkett's not a Republican. Nevermind.
LOL
LOL... I'll get his hat.
Or how about this:
Making sh*t up, so Peter Jennings doesn't have to!
So he's thinking of suing for maliging him? How could his reputation be damaged, many people already thought he was a nutcase...
ROTF!
