This has been what I've been waiting for; the focus to shift out of Texas and back to Black Rock about this phone call, and potentially other phone calls. This becomes CYA time; people at CBS will start leaking like the titanic to ensure that they aren't stuck to this tar baby.

I wonder if this was discussed Tuesday, before the second 60 Minutes Wednesday broadcast, when Sumner Redstone did this...

14-Sep-04 REDSTONE, SUMNER M.
Chairman 341,500 Option Exercise at $15.25 per share. $5,207,875
14-Sep-04 REDSTONE, SUMNER M.
Chairman 341,500 Sale at $35 per share. $11,952,500

Hmmm.. I wonder if the SEC and the FBI are going to look into this transaction..

Wow. Did you unearth that, or has media already reported it? If not previously reported, I'm calling friends in media in DC with story, credting you and FR if ok w/you.

Does the name Martha Stewart ring a bell?

"Lockhart said Mapes asked him the weekend before the story broke to call Burkett. "She basically said there's a guy who is being helpful on the story who wants to talk to you," Lockhart said, adding that it was common knowledge that CBS was working on a story raising questions about Bush's Guard service. Mapes told him there were some records "that might move the story forward. She didn't tell me what they said."


I can hardly wait to hear the ending.........bye,bye Mapes.

This is an amazing article. Kerry and the DNC are bound to be freaking out that they were dumb enough to bring Burkett in on this. He's a big liability to them now and he better not be giving away his personal health issues as he did in this article lest it provide fertile ground for decorate an Arkancide.

The White House said CBS' contact with Lockhart was inappropriate. "The fact that CBS News would coordinate with the most senior levels of Sen. Kerry's campaign to attack the president is a stunning and deeply troubling revelation," said Dan Bartlett, White House communications director

Shoes are dropping faster than I can keep up with.
CBS is an arm of the Kerry campaign. Period.

Nothing before this could have cost Rather his job.

This could, easilly.


How old is he? Hell, he's ready to call it quits, anyway.

9/14 is the day before tax day!! The story has been floating around here since yesterday, I think. Someone linked to a blogger who found it. I don't know if any media outlet has picked up on it.

Twue! Twue!

Fox friend just called. (S)he (hiding ID) was called by friend at CBS minutes ago with "How big do you think this is going to play?" question.

Order CBS 144 reams of extra high grade Xerox paper. (They want the resumes on good paper, don't they?)

It is time for the Justice Department to get involved in this. We have a conspiracy that involves the use of forged federal documents in an attempt to overthrow a sitting President.

Watergate will look small time in comparison

"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"

Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!

Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!

We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

We hate all US Troops!

We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!

We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal

We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida

We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.

simply send in a Psychological Warfare team to be

and better educational facilities."

"The American people already know that strings were pulled to get President Bush into the Guard; and while in the Guard he missed months of service and was grounded. ... But what we still don't know is why Bush didn't fulfill his duty to his country or why he has continued to lie to the American people about it,"



This is all they have! Of course, after Kerry's speech today, they're going to TRY to gain Iraq. What the hell is "the plan"? Sounds to me like all they can do is what Bush has been doing all along, BUT the more Kerry continues to undermine the troops in every word he utters, the more he makes an ass of himself. He said in his speech he was "stunned" at the bravery of our troops. I thought to myself: "Yeah, YOU would be!" The bravery and strength and dedication of the U.S. men and women who serve our country doesn't suprise ME one bit! It's Kerry who is amazed. Duuuuuhhhhhhhh.

Go to Yahoo! Finance

This was a registered Rule 144 transaction. It is not likely there were any shenanigans - especially since it was only $11,952,500 (341,500 shares). The $5,207,875 was the cost of exercising the options - the amount Redstone PAID to exercise the options to buy the stock he sold.

Now if he had sold 11,952,500 SHARES throught shell corporations on the open market, that would be a different story.

That's a great picture. Gee, they say he never reads any books. ROTFL I'm sure he knows about the bias from personal experience.
