'There are a number of serious questions that remain unanswered and they need to be answered,' says White House spokesman Scott McClellan.

'Bill Burkett, who CBS says now was their source, is not an unimpeachable source, as CBS has claimed.'

'There are news reports of Burkett having senior level contact with the Kerry campaign. That raises questions.'

'What were those contacts and what was discussed? Who is the original source of the documents?'

'Who is responsible for forging these documents?

I smell Hillary in the air .....or am I just downwind of the feedlot ?

No! You're downwind of the Ol' Crusty Outlet Store where Hillary! purchases in bulk (double entendre intended <|:)<)

It was Bob!

Answer to the question "what do you call a paraplegic floating in a lake?" Sorry, my gloves are off.

LOL

I wonder how O'Reilly is going to handle the fact that his boy Rather has been exposed as a fraud.
Ofcourse, CBS is still leaving open the possiblity that they were duped by the GOP.
Thus, we need to trace the memo's back to their sources to lay that lie to rest.
CBS will want to keep that floating out there for the Democratic faithful to have something to cling to.

Among which is 'What sitting president was the only president to be re-elected by default?'

Is it too early to introduce the new sequel, 2004 Democratic Convention II," for purposes of re-thinking Kerry as the candidate of CHOICE

What's the provenance, Kenneth?

Artfully funny. LOL!

Does anyone think that the WH really knows where this all leads and is just letting them slowly twist in the wind?

I don't think it involved Carville. Despite his occasional bottom dwelling tendancies, he's not really all that bad a guy. He has personality traits I find endearing.

I'll never say Carville is too smart to have been involved, but I will say he knows better.

We've only uncovered the tip of the iceberg of this story, or "hit-piece". It's time for Rather and the Dems to come clean.

It's been dubbed "Ra^ther Gate" for a couple weeks now.

Some SERIES diggin' needs to be done on Robin's potential linkage to this...

If there's one thing that would make Dan fall on his sword, it would be when investigators start gettin' too close to realizing that the only unimpeachable Texas source in Dandy Dan's eyes is Robin.

The White House needs to keep pressing for this information to come out.

Correction. We need to keep pressing for this information to come out. And the best way to do that is to contact your local CBS affiliate and tell them you will not watch their news until Dan Rather and CBS News reveal who typed the forged doucments.

It was pressure on CBS by the affiliates that got CBS News to issue its "apology." That pressure by the CBS affiliates was in response by viewers contacting them.

The NYT will probably just publish some more Abu Ghraib photos.

The Times has a motivation to continue to cover this story, although their earlier coverage was pathetic. This is just too much like Jayson Blair, and now that there's blood in the water, they'll probably stay on it.

The publication of her book seems to have been delayed. Anyone know the details on that?

Sam's Club had Kelly's book for sale this past Saturday.

I knew there was some connection between the two (Strobe Talbot and Bush). When I was at Cal in the early '70's Strobe's name used to come up regularly and he almost commanded God-like status amongst the hippy unwashed. Yet there never anything substantial that he could be pinned to.

Drive a stake through the SOB's heart and shoot him with a silver bulltet

My money's on that creepy Chris Lehane, but he's probably doing Hillary's bidding.

How many of you actually think a major media outlet is going to finsih this investigation??? Or is it going to be dropped???????

Things are different now that the pajamahadeen is in town.
