That's why Burkett was offered up to all the media last night, conveniently, right after the secretary's piece on 60 minutes. Rep in Congress saw that, pulled back the requested investigation, and now the ball is back our blogosphere's court. An investigation would pre-empt the bigger story here, which is a coordinated effort between the DNC/CBS and the Democratic Candidate for President.

This may be a point of interest. Most Kinko type places have video monitors. The fax usually indicates a date and time. Would it not be of interest to review the video's of the time an place in question? Not that CBS would have any interest in revealing that.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent miscellaneous ping list.
It does for me. Jerry Killian's widow is a "Bushie," or "partisan political operative." She doesn't count for anything. Jerry Killian's fellow officers who do not back the CBS story's premise (several) are the same sort of unreliable people. They mean nothing.
Ben Barnes, perjurer and Democratic fundraiser ("Hey! What's the matter with THAT?") though he may be, is an unimpeachable source. Bill Burkett, never mind his past mental health problems and seeming fixation with Bush, is an unimpeachable source. They and any documents they bring are a "preponderance of evidence."
If CBS's own experts warn in advance that the documents at very best cannot be authenticated and are highly questionable, the "preponderance of evidence" means it's OK to go ahead.
That indeed tells me something. This story was going to happen no matter what. Probably because something called OPERATION FAVORITE SON demanded that it happen.
TRANSCRIPT OF RATHER REPORT [09/10 07:03 PM]
John Kerry for President - Key Unanswered Questions: Bushs Record In The National Guard
I hope the FEC and FBI are looking into this.
This is not my opinion as a conservative. This is my opinion as an American that will not tolerate fraud in the electoral process.
Here's the thing about people who are legitimately unstable. They operate in their own world. I don't think Burkett knows the plot, but he won't take a bullet for the DNC. If they offer him up, watch him turn so quick heads will spin. He may be mad at Bush, but the DNC are going to stab him in the back - big difference. He has some obvious delusions of granduer and paranoia - not a good mix.
I am betting the secret service has tabs on him, so he won't be "committing suicide" any time soon either.
If you read comments from his attorney today, his attorney (read about him upthread) sounded pretty nervous. If Burkett decides to unload, which he might, it will be all over. He didn't type the memos - they were interspersed with his stuff to make it look like they came from him. As for the Kinko's account? Well, yes. He's been faxing them to everybody. He's nuts.
He'll unload on one of those reporters if some law enforcement shows up to talk to him. Just watch.
IMHO ; )
Dear Protect,
I haven't looked closely at the entire thread, so maybe someone else has noted this. Mr. Burkett is a Democrat Party operative.
See this URL: http://ace.mu.nu/archives/046126.php
Note especially:
"Shadowy Link Uncovered: Apparently the noted former-Bush-supporter Burkett served as head of the Steering Committee for David Van Os campaign for Texas Party Chair [of the Democrat Party]."
Here is a URL from 2002 in which Mr. Burkett describes some of his activities in the Texas Democrat Party:

Bill Burkett is a Democrat operative who likely forged documents to libel a sitting president.

A lunatic doesn't hire an attorney running for Supreme Court of Texas. Absolutely not.
OK you are CBS and you get faxed memo which you have to confirm. If the DNC said it was good would you run with it? If some crank from Texas said it was good would you run with it? Does it seem odd that they get this memo just when Kerry is getting killed by the Swifties?
CBS was told it was good by a reliable souce they trusted, the DNC/Kerry campaign. Now if only Dan will tell the truth. HaHaHa I made a joke.
That is so September 8 talk.
Please.
You need Missy Kelley to connect the dots. The best I've ever seen.
Good One!
If the memos were faxed by Burkett the night before broadcast (or whenever Dan originally claimed), then Burkett was set-up "just in case".
It has already been proven Rather and CBS both had the memos prior to that date/time, and this was to cover for it in case they were busted!
I've got a memo from Kerry to Rather, asking for some help, and suggesting that CBS come up with a story to deflect from the Swift Boat issue. I'll publicize it as soon as the ink is dry!
Huh? Please be specific.

They must have proof.
Let's start sending this to some of the blogs for follow-up.
