Sorry but I have it on good authority that it was Ethel Merz.

Idiots at USAToday used Burkett twice before on stories!

Well, Mr. Burkett's media ride is OVA! He is radioactive. Even in this article he admits he lies, even on things not central to the story.

I can't stop laughing. It's bad enough that C-BS and Rather got "misled", but this is just too good. If Rather and company don't already look like fools, this will do it.

Lucy Ramirez is the name Burkett has given. He has no proof she exists. His previous "source" was named "Conn".

"Conn, the Texas Guard friend Burkett initially identified as the source of the documents, denied any connection in an e-mail exchange with USA TODAY. He wrote: “Know absolutely nothing about the Killian memos.” Conn declined to be interviewed further. "

You'd think Dan Rather would have wanted to ask Conn first, before going public with the memos.

Burkett has been in a mental institution twice, he really is delusional.

She is the chick Burkett tell USA today that gave him the Docs.

She's the polka-dot dress lady from 1968.

The Way he describes the Lucy lady, he makes sound like some espianoge movie thriller where there all wearing sunglasses and Trenchcoats. And then the nervous breakdowns infront of the reporter just tops it off. Hillarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"This would mean that the Kerry campaign -- which Barnes is co-chair of -- got the documents first, then CBS received them a few days later."

You put together a good timeline.

The above is exactly what the America Spectator article said, quoting an unidentified Dem staffer.

I forgot the title of the article, but you seem to be up on all that.

This story gets more and more strange. I feel like I'm living in a O. Stone movie.

Is Lucy Karl? Is Burkett really a Republican only pretending to be a nutcase Dem so he can snare CBS in his evil plot?


I just want to give the lurkers from DU a tingle
