IMHO, the dems and MSM were planning a multiple front attack. The guard story was only one angle. To much to get done and coordinated. It's the little things that get you.

Dan thought he could play act his way through the memos. After all, he's done it before and it worked.

...my only hope is that all roads lead to Terry McAwfull

Don't forget that it was McAwfull that opened the "Operation: Fortunate Son" campaign, complete with video that INCLUDED the Ben Barnes/documents clips.

He got that from Mara Liasson. She said the exact same thing yesterday on FOX News Sunday.

Oh my goodness, between the fragging that kerry took at the hands of the SBVT, and this public disemboweling of rather, how much fun is a girl allowed to have?

Here is what I think

CBS still hasn't come clean. They refuse to use the word forgery, because that would mean illegality and then they would have to come clean about everything. So they simply say they can't verify the source.

Second, they named Burkett, but they also say he gave them a list of people who passed him the docs, and only lied about one name....okay, so they need to list all the names he gave them.

Third, Rather thinks that while he has everyone talking about Mapes he can tiptoe out the back door...Rather was the one on TV insisting he was sure about the source so clearly he knew everything.

Forth, jess FR is getting so crowded it isn't worth posting any more because it just gets buried.

Accusing the President of disobeying a direct order IS explosive.

why didn't they come up with something more explosive?

Sandy Burglar and now Joe Lockhart. The pink slips keep coming from the Kerry campaign.

It strikes me that this story is only beginning!

The working relationship between the DNC and the MSM has been going on for so long, gotten so deep, and become so inter-dependent that they don't even realize what they are doing is unethical at minimum. So much can be proven illegal if aggressively pursued. This won't stop with these groups if enough birds start singing quickly. Unions, universities (they have lots of $$$) are all in jeopardy.

The VLWC has increased it's crumble velocity...he he he...

Overall, it was a pretty good show. I hate that former CBS exec. He takes us for fools. Of course, ideology played a roll in the rush to cover this story.

Burkett obviously wanted to become a player. He thought this was his in. The Dems used him and then kicked him to the curb. They will now reap the whirlwind.

You and me both! My Mom is 81 and enjoying this so much. She detests Rather and always has. My Dad even disliked him more and they both didn't trust Cronkite. :)

Yes,I remember that well! And they said nothing...zip,zero,nada,bupkiss,about how Jackie Kennedy really DID get almost her entire wardrobe for FREE,as well as loner jewels and more.

And then there is the wee fact,that ALL presidents from JFK down, tapped phone calls and discussions in the Oval Office.

I know that's what Im saying....also remember Estrich's comments that we are going to start playing dirty....they are all involved....I don't know their reasoning, but I firmly believe they thought they could get away with these bogus docs...they really believe that we are all stupid.

I think you may be right about part of this. I don't know about the drug use and rape but I suspect they were trying to force Bush to talk and then catch him in a supposed lie based on the fake documents. The best laid plans........

Burket was thrown to the wolves, it didnt satisfy the wolf pack, Mapes is nest on the sacrificial list the dems have.

Do you suppose they have any idea how hungry we are? L0L

And FR is still a great place. Crowded but great

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Here is the link to his website. Look at the difference between President Bush's picture and John Kerry's.

Kerry has that obnoxious look just like always.

This has been amazing to watch on the various threads and unfolding in the MSM. My other half finally agrees with me just how important you freepers are!
