White House Spokesman Links Burkett Forgeries to Senior Level Kerry Campaign Operatives
ABC News ^ | 9/20/04

'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?

"Kerry had been pushing the 60 minutes interview"

Wonder if Howard Kurtz and NYT will report on this. I am sure we will hear from Nedra.(heh)

I have no idea why, but Strobe Talbot's name keeps popping into my mind. I did a search and can't come up with anything new on him, but I have always felt he was a deep buried Dem operative.

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

Yeah, and the questions haven't been answered. They can't duck now. The forgeries were so bad, the red flags were waving, and yet they went with the story, even though it goes directly to the highest office and election in our country. They have a lot of splaining to do. We ain't done asking questions yet.

If the memos anre in Kelly's book and it's publish is released, Kelly will be sued for libel and slander unless she reracts them and discloses from where they came?

Anyone care to guess how peeved a certain publisher may be with 100,000 books sitting in warehouses?

The White House has played this one perfectly. There was no need for them to be out in front of this story, because it had a life of its own. The White House can now demand answers without looking like it is whining.

The White House rep was doggedly on message. More questions must be answered. The timing is not in question, Operation Fortunate Son came from the DNC. Apology from CBS is good, but we must pursue the remaining questions.

Thank you Scott McClellan, for ignoring the "we were misled" spin and going forward for truth for the American people!

was Edwards the mastermind?

Mastermind is not the word that immediately comes to mind when thinking about John Edwards.

Why thank you! I couldn't resist. I do believe that is someone who believes the are very intelligent but in reality are quite lacking, if you know what I mean! Edwards fits the bill. (Puns are always intended) LOL

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 internet and radio talk shows won't let this story drop. The TV news media will have to cover it.

If CBS/MSNBC/NBC/ABC/PBS/NPR won't do it, then FOX and the Pajama clad blogosphere will take up the slack!
