CONTROVERSIAL TEXAS RANCHER SAYS LOCKHART WANTED DOCUMENTS //

The source of a disputed CBSNEWS report claimed Thursday that Kerry adviser Joe Lockhart tried to "convince me as to why I should give them the documents." Texas Army National Guard Lt. Col. Bill Burkett tells the FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM that he has suffered four seizures since being identified as CBS' source and dogged by the media... Developing...

If ya go diggin' in the sewer you're gonna get covered with crap. Sleep with dogs and ya gonna get fleas. DNCBS have made their beds, now they can sleep in 'em.

[RightOnline]

You mean...........you mean..............Lockhart actually..........ummm.............lied???????

Gee golly gosh. I'm stunned, I tell you. I thought he was merely getting advice from a concerned citizen on how to better respond to the Swifties and all. Golly.

Sigh.......................these Dems just suck. They are SO bad at lying it's freakin' unbelievable. How I'd love five minutes in a room alone with Lockhart.........

[GeorgiaYankee]

he's the Dems' BIFF TANNEN!

"I was just STARTING the 2nd coat of wax, Mr. McFly. Honest!"

[dasboot]

Hey, isn't Burkett's lawyer Os? Burkett better retain another: he's so totally expendable. No lawyer serves two masters.

[get'emall]

Karl Rove gave the poor man seizures?

[mimmson]

WOW! Now it makes sense. I was trying to connect the dots and this may have been the missing piece.

Here's my theory.

Lockhart was already familiar with the documents from 2000 when Gore decided not to use them. He couldn't have Burkett pass them to him directly, so he used Mapes and CBS as an intermediary.

Mapes and Lockhart probably worked together on orchestrating the hand-off to cover themselves, but didn't think it all the way through.

Were is siren?

~~Too bad Burkett is insane. This charge could be pretty damning otherwise~~

Hav'nt you heard. He's unimpeachable.

[TheBigB]

Wasn't seizure that dude that messed with Cleopatra?

[native texan]

I hope "The Rancher" doesn't have a heart attack or something else before the investigation is completed.

[InterceptPoint]

Too bad Burkett is insane.

Leave my guy alone. I have it on excellent authority that he is "unimpeachable".

[MamaLucci]

I am going to love seeing that smug toad, Joe Lockhart, squirm.
Is that wrong? ;)

[Freepdonia]

He's experiencing the vapors.

[Tennessean4Bush]

Kerry is going to be huting if this turns out to be true. Cadell has been scared to death of just such a revelation.

[Republic]

Don't think he is smart enough.

But this is getting sticky.

Joe Lockhart is on record saying that he did not speak to Burkett about the memos, at all.

oooops!

Bet joey is downing a few dry martinis tonight.

[Vinomori]

FINALLY the Texas print media is waking UP to this story....they were very embarrassed by the trouncing they were getting on this by WaPo and USA Today, and they have finally SCORED BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pukin Dog]

NOW, HOW SWEET WOULD IT BE IF BURKETT WAS A CRAZY MAN WITH A TAPE RECORDER?

Sadly, life rarely gets that good.

[RabidBartender]

Leave my guy alone. I have it on excellent authority that he is "unimpeachable".

I think they said he was "unshakeable", but I guess that's out the window.

[Morgan's Raider]

The Republicans have cited his mental instability. Why embrace him now?

Well, Gunga Dan says Burkett's "unimpeachable", so we're just taking the SeeBS star at his word...

[GailA]

Yes but they will say he's a proven liar and probably a forger so you can't believe a word he says.
