Give Burkett some credit. He can at least identify the fastest route to the center of the DNC.

And Rather expects us to believe that Burkett is his "unimpeachable source?"

CBS. Burkett needed a contact at the DNC, and Mary Mapes gave it to them.

A coordination of political contacts by the DNC.

That SeeBs is an arm of the DNC, or that the DNC is an arm of SeeBS. It's kind of like a Moebius loop.

hmm .. now this is what you call a rumor .. pure and simple. There is nothing to back this up. Let's not get carried away until there is something more substantial to go on.

The network's effort to place Burkett in contact with a top Democratic official raises ethical questions about CBS' handling of material potentially damaging to the Republican president in the midst of an election. This "poses a real danger to the potential credibility of a news organization," said Aly Colón, a news ethicist at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies.

Scarborough is covering this all very well right now. CBS is investigating Mapes' association with Kerry campaign.
