that may depend on how long you sit with him:

One session ended when Burkett suffered a violent seizure and collapsed in his chair.

I guess those kinda fits ended up on 60 Minutes editing floor ROFLMAO

This "news story" is about as scrubbed as a story can get. There is NO appearance of the word "democrat" in the entire text.

However, the name "John McCain" appears once and "Republican" appears twice.

No mention of Burkett's past political affiliation is absurd, considering Burkett's strong ties to the Democrat Party as revealed on FR threads over the weekend.

At one point Thursday, as he spoke on a cellphone to his San Antonio lawyer, David Van Os, Burkett's voice froze in midsentence and his body convulsed in a violent seizure. He was helped to the floor and then to a couch. He has had such bouts sporadically over the past several months, but this one was worse, his wife said.

The next day, Burkett resumed the interview. He lay on the couch with a wet cloth on his forehead.

...snip...

Burkett said he arranged to get the documents during a trip to Houston for a livestock show in March. But instead of being met at the show by Ramirez, he was approached by a man who asked for Burkett, handed him an envelope and quickly left, Burkett recounted.

“I didn't even ask any questions,” Burkett said. “Should I have?

Ummm... yeah... GAME OVER!

That reminds me of watching "Mission Impossible". I'm surprised he didn't just say they "self-destructed".
Well, he sure did anyways. LOL

"..WHO is Lucy R.;the person who actually did the typing?"

Probably a figment of Burkett's imagination.

I was looking for the name Lucy Ramirez all over, thinking it had some relevant fictional use I've heard before as it sounded familiar. The only reference I could find was this one,

Lexa Doig ( from the show Andromeda )

The Chris Isaak Show - Detective Lucy Ramirez - Home of the Brave (2002)
http://www.tvtome.com/tvtome/servlet/PersonDetail/personid-6143

Probably meaningless but who knows.

Burkett voiced frustration that his effort to call attention to what he believes are legitimate questions about Bush's military service is now being obscured by a new story line: “that I am some kind of nut.”

The victim card (quick, where is the liberal handbook? ;-)

“The only reason I'm going on the record is because I've got to tell the story to save my name.”

I find this and most of the article unbelievable. The explanation given by Burkett sounds as if it were cooked up by a partisan Democrat lawyer to stonewall the public and the media.

(Of course, including such labeling and speculation in a news story is seemingly allowable under the ethical standards of the journalism profession if it would benefit liberals... ;-)

Sheesh...You couldn't write this crap. The DNC=CBS=John Kerry=Communist Traitor GI MURDERER! We'd be done with Iraq's insurgence in great part if it weren't for un-American, seditious, anti-war activities by John Fing Kerry. Anyone that votes for this Class A1 Shi*bird Loon needs a frontal lobe labotomy. Cuz the drugs ain't workin....

Two former FBI forensic document specialists enlisted by USA TODAY to examine the documents said they probably were forgeries.

Finally ...finally USA Today calls the documents by the right term.

Wild as it may seem - it may be time to look for a link with Michael Moore

Good point, especially coming the day after he encourages the faithful not to drink the kool-aid ...yet!!

Burkett will soon be claiming to be suffering from Multiple Personality Syndrome and Lucy Ramirez is is feminine side. Bet he sure looks ugly in a dress.
