'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?

They aren't funny, but this is a man who had knowledge of a criminal conspiracy to alter the outcome of a presidential election. Not a nice person.

People in handicapped status don't have to be nice. They might not have to follow the law either.

I almost want to see Kerry elected, just to see him impeached!

Cleland could possibly be prosecuted pursuant to:

Title 18 U.S. Code Section 4. Misprision of felony

"Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both."

"And Carl Cameron is now reporting on FOX that Kerry had been pushing the 60 Minutes interview for weeks to the press scribes on the plane..."

The Stalinist liberal pig media in bed with the Stalinist Left? Say it ain't so...

Time to go full bore on this and finish the Kerry people off now!

I agree!! Let's just hope the spineless senators and congressmen can get enough guts up to do these people in. Unlike with Xlinton!

The important point here is that if the memos are in Kelly's book, then there goes the ridiculous black helicopter theory that Rove was behind all this.

The memos are not in the book, although Burkett is.

I would appreciate it. There is plenty to make fun of without resorting to cheap shots.

Cheap shots are so DU AND will be used as an example of how freepers act.

Don't mean to gripe but we have more credibility as a site if we don't sound anything like democrats underground.

I hate to see our reputation torn down over cheap shots that are not even funny and surely not needed.

"The Times just ran a new story.."

I read it, and it's not nearly as good as anything the Washington Post has done. The writing still has that holding-their noses "eewww" tone to it. They are terrified that they are going to have to change their minds about the candidates in this election.

The Times won't change its mind. Kerry will still get their endorsement, and the benefits of their slanted reporting.

But media scandals have a way of growing and reaching final resolution because as like-minded as all the competing news organizations are, they still are competitors. There's not one of them that wouldn't mind CBS getting a black eye. They just want to do it in a way that doesn't help President Bush too much.

When a Jayson Blair, or CNN's "Tailwind" is exposed as a fraud, it gets covered. The NY Times won't be the most aggressive, but they won't ignore it, either.

He [Kerry] will be available for a turkey supper on November 25th for questions.

Surely you jest! Impossible to make this stuff up!

I sense that the new Kerry strategy about staying on message about Iraq from today through to the election is about to take a detour into a Swiftboat Vet like quagmire.

Not exactly funny, kinda tension releasers. They are better than the Helen Keller jokes that once made the rounds. Way before PC.

There's a cancer, a cancer growing on the Kerry campaign.

ROFL! Nice Watergate allusion.

I've told my brother this since I gave up on the "unimpeachable source" being Clinton. Next, I said...why is he protecting this person so much??? Then it hit me, too....daughter!
