"Video surveilance tapes will show Karl Rove wearing a Ben Barnes mask." DAMN! Rove is good! Remember back in 2000 when video tapes showed him wearing a Yvette Lazano mask at a post office, mailing Bush debate tapes to the Gore campaign???? He is the Master Disguisey!

[MistyCA]

ROFLMAOPIMP!!!

[rwfromkansas]

Well, he sent me an e-mail threatening to sic his legal team on me after I e-mailed him asking some questions for a newspaper article.

Oh well.

[scannell]

He has a long standing beef with Bush.

I have been reading that he was denied some medical thing in 1998 and that he feared that pressure would come to sanitize bush in 1997. I don't get it. Clinton was President then??????????

I don't own any pajamas. Can I just sit around typing in my underwear?

Yeah. You sound like my husband :-). And who the heck cares what I wear in my in-home office (no matter what time of day?! I have no outside traffic here. Ah, the life of self-employeds! :-)

[freepatriot32]

interesting very very interesting :-)

Britt Hume said the guy lives upstairs from the Kinko's.

Just another discredited CBS source. But hey it's not what he said or did it's what he meant according to CBS!

[e_castillo]

Burkett is a known con.

[tuckrdout]

Oh PLEASE post copies of the email...AND add whatever lies you want to...since Dan doesn't really care if it is real or not! Yeah, that's the ticket!

Hey, this is a fact. I heard a guy on TV say that Dan claimed to be a Marine who fought in the Korean war...then the same man said that he got the military records for Dan, and they show that the man was drummed out of the Marine Corps after four months, and he never got out of basic! Is this true?

USA Today:
* Bill Burkett, a former lieutenant colonel in the Texas National Guard, says that four years ago, he and a group of officers informed Adjutant General Danny James, the state commander, that 7% of the Texas Army Guard's 16,300 troops were ghost soldiers. Burkett and others say that despite promises to fix the problem, the Texas Army Guard continues to include soldiers who shouldn't be on the rolls. According to figures provided by the National Guard Bureau, over the past two years, Texas has had anywhere from 1,300 to 1,800 unpaid soldiers on its rolls, more than 11% at its peak.

Feb 14th - Houston Chronicle:
Burkett and some friends from his Guard days have been involved in an ugly dispute with the Texas National Guard and officers appointed by then-Gov. Bush for several years.

One of those friends, Harvey Gough, said this week that he became so incensed at what he saw as malfeasance by the Guard's senior officers that he hired a private detective to delve into James' personal life. James is the son of former Gen. Chappy James, the first black four-star general.

Through a spokesman, James denied all of Burkett's charges.

Burkett, Gough, Adams and others have waged an ugly feud with the Guard over what they said was fraud, waste and corruption.

Burkett sued three officers in the Texas Guard in the late 1990s, claiming that they blocked him from receiving medical support after he went to Panama on a Guard-related mission and contracted a debilitating disease. Gough alleged in a lawsuit that he was subjected to anti-Semitic remarks from one of James' staffers, and when he complained, James court-martialed him. Both suits failed.

Burkett also raised charges against James and others at Texas legislative hearings in the late 1990s.

Rep. Bob Hunter, R-Abilene, conducted one of the hearings and said this week that there was no substance to Burkett's charges.


Sounds like the good ol boys got busted by James and they didn't like it.

Well, I won't add any lies. BTW, my "threat" was just saying I would not be afraid to report a story showing his ties to the Dems just because he refuses to talk to me. I did not threaten him at all.

But, this is what he sent me:

"Son,

I'm surprised by your lack of integrity at such a young age.

I will not dignify your unethical behavior with comment. Believe me, I have turned your message and threat over to my legal team who I am sure you will hear from.

LTC Burkett"

[mware]

This one is bad, even Chris Matthews said tonight on Hardball that he felt that Burkett was delusional

See the intrepid Demonrat operative!
See the intrepid Demonrat operative put the clever forgeries into the fax machine (Nyah-ha-haa...)!!
See the intrepid Demonrat operative FAIL to disable the outgoing phone number log on the fax machine, like anyone who's ever used a fax machine for clandestine purposes KNOWS to do, at least if they have an IQ larger than their shoe size...!!!

(Interlude...)

See the maybe-not-so-intrepid Demonrat operative lying awake in its bed at night sweating profusely and listening carefully for the creaking of footsteps on the stairwell, preceding the awful Knock On The Door which is sure to come...

Something has to explain CBS buying these very sloppy forgeries. The source had to be very very believable to CBS.

You are on to something here. I do think Bill Burkett is the source but I do not think CBS would have taken his word for it. Someone higher up on the food chain would have had to say these are good documents. It would appear to me that the DNC has been putting leaking the documents to selected sources (not the media at first) to get them talking about Bush's record and then it went to CBS via someone very high in the DNC.

I have noted an absolute silence from the DNC on this subject, nor has the mainstream media sought to even ask the DNC about it.

I love the smell of burning liberal media in the morning. It smells like VICTORY

[Clean_Sweep]

I think your all wrong. I believe the arrogance of Rather is so great he never considered that he would get caught. He is so used to giving us lies every night without repercussions, that this one was just going to slide in with all the rest.
