Why would Burkett stake his reputation giving papers to CBS he knew to be third-rate forgeries?

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.

spoke out against the network in a 2,600-word letter

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?

Now that's what I'd call a "rock-solid source!"

"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.

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.

Abilene Texas... I'm having a flash to Texasville, one of my favorite books... may have to read if for the 14th time... Now look what you've done, I've got a ton of other reading to get to!

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.

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.

Hey, Bill...you go ahead and sue CBS. Great idea. It won't cost you much and you're sure to win. I'll hold your coat, Buddy.

LOL... I'll get his hat.

So he's thinking of suing for maliging him? How could his reputation be damaged, many people already thought he was a nutcase...
