There weren't waiting lists for the ANG..You had to have a degree and be able to train to fly a fighter....There were waiting lists for enlisted regular Guard..It is another LIE.

admits that he deliberately misled the CBS News producer working on the report, giving her a false account of the documents' origins to protect a promise of confidentiality to the actual source."

This certainly raises more questions than it answers:

1. Why doesn't CBS admit that these are forgeries?
2. What is the "false account" of the (forged) documents origins? That they came from the files of Killian?
3. If Burkett gave a "false account" of where he got the documents to protect a source, then why isn't CBS clamoring and demanding to know the source so they can find out if the documents are in fact forgeries? 4. Most curious is the total lack of curiousity on the part of CBS to investigate the real story...who made the forged military documents?

Weren't they aware of Burkett's reputation?

They had to be. Rather was ready and rearing to get out his "Bush Lied" story.

Just so ya'll will know, I'm ashamed
that Dan Rather is from Texas!

C-BS regrets GETTING CAUGHT with that bogus story.

They thought it was, like, you know, back before FOX News, the Internet and talk radio.

Karl Rove is just a bogeyman Democrats use to scare their kids with. They just can't come out and admit that their entire presidential candidacy has been run by the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight.

A skeptical person on our side might easily speculate that Kerry's campaign has been torpedoed from within by the Clinton gang, to keep the slot open for Hillary in '08.

Oh well, I just thought that DU's constant paranoia about Karl Rove running everything in the universe was funny. And touching. Kinda like seeing a retarded kid proudly announce "my name is Terry McCauliffe, and I'm a very special little boy!"

What a crock!

Their excuse is that they were duped. BS. They were told BEFORE THEY WENT ON AIR WITH THAT PARTISAN HIT PIECE....THAT THE MEMOS WERE FAKE!

CBS is not the victim. They are the PERPETRATOR.

AND THIS CRAP ABOUT BURKETT ADMITTING THAT HE MISLED CBS.

Give me a break!

That is a coordinated press release to match CBS's release.

RATher, Burkett, and CBS are covering for the real source......the DNC and the Kerry Campaign.

They are trying to stop any further investigation into the matter.

BUT IT WON'T WORK. It just raises too many questions when Burkett just up and says he misled CBS...after meeting with Rather.

Libs on the DU site are apoplectic. Here is one poster (giving their analysis of our strategy). I say we take the jerk up on his advice, and do precisely what he is afraid we will do between now and Election Day:

"...almost from the very minute his (Rush's) show started today. And I know Borrtz has brought up the Max Cleland angle. Any further investigations as to whether Bush43 disobeyed a direct order to take a physical are now, IMNSHO, permanently tainted by this fiasco. If anyone else trys to bring it up, all the opposition will have to do is scream "RATHER LIED" at the top of their lungs. Sheesh! Later, "

Does any media story ever mention the secretary's initial limited memories of Bush? The memories that were sharpened and honed one week later when she spoke to Rather? Does anyone have a direct link to her initial statements? Her apparent miraculous memory improvement needs to be pointed out at every turn, along with the points you made.

Yeah... Like if the source was Karl Rove, CBS wouldn't gladly give that up.
