Statement from RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Contact: Christine Iverson
202-863-8614
Washington, DC-RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke made the following statement today
"Bill Burkett, Democrat activist and Kerry campaign supporter, passes information to the DNC; Kerry campaign surrogate Max Cleland discusses "valuable" information with Bill Burkett; Bill Burkett talks to "senior" Kerry campaign officials; an apparently unsuspecting news organization uses faked forged memos and an interview with Ben Barnes at the same time the Democratic National Committee launched Operation Fortunate Son; and Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill was among the first to call Ben Barnes and congratulate him after his interview. The trail of connections is becoming increasingly clear."

What ya'll wanna bet Burkett got Cleeland's cell # from his lawyer David Van Os. Of course Van os would of paved the way with Cleeland before the call, or Cleeland wouldn't have answered it.

So what should CBS' advertising slogan for their election night coverage be? "Watch CBS, We Promise Not To Incorrectly Call the Election Early This Year!"

David Van Os is Burkett's lawyer. I'm betting he is also the lawyer for at least a few other prominent Dems. Can anyone confirm?

I'm going to hold my breath until I see the video from Kinko's.

an apparently unsuspecting news organization Let's get real. Rather was in this up to his armpits, and so no doubt were many of his staffers, his daughter, and his bosses. This was a big-time political smear job, and that kind of thing goes right up to the top.
One reason Rather won't budge an inch is, I would guess, not only because he doesn't want to wreck the Kerry campaign but because he doesn't dare get started on the blame game within CBS itself.

Hmm...how could the Democrats and their Old Media supporters accuse Bush of not "connecting all the dots" prior to 9/11 -- yet they have been unable to connect these particular dots?

"We Promise Not To Incorrectly Call the Election Early This Year" Has prevention of a replay even been addressed or are they just as likely to "accidentally" do the same thing this time?

It seems that these accusations would not be made without having some proof. Let's hope they have a dumptruck load of evidence.

This is probably why Danny Boy flew to Dallas today. I wonder who he's meeting with.
