Drudge has posted a link to a USA Today article claiming it was after an appearance on Hardball that Burkett was contacted by a mystery woman, Lucy Ramirez, whom he claims was the source of the fake documents passed to CBS.

Time for the PJ Patrol to dig up the connections between Kerry's campaign crew and Ramirez.

Still waiting for Kerry to condemn the plain attempt to throw the election through fraud.

"You're traveling through another dimension,
a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind;
a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are
that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead-
- your next stop . . .
The Twilight Zone!"

Lucy Undisguised is the DNC

Hmmmm? The moment I read "mystery woman" the first thing I thought of was Hillary Clinton.

Hmmmm? Maybe Lucy works for Hillary ..?? It's a thought!

This just in!...

"Lucy Ramirez was found dead in a cheesy hotel in Arkansas, apparently from a self-inflicked gun shot wound. Local police thought it "inconsequential" that the gun laying beside her had Terry McAwfull's finger prints on it."

This is the funniest part.

After he received the documents in Houston, Burkett said, he drove home, stopping on the way at a Kinko's shop in Waco to copy the six memos. In the parking lot outside, he said, he burned the ones he had been given and the envelope they were in. Ramirez was worried about leaving forensic evidence on them that might lead back to her,

And this is an obvious lie, he wrote in that email that he called Cleland and that he tried to contact the Kerry campaign.

Reporters who knew of Burkett's role as a Bush critic continued to call as they searched for files that could fill in details on a gap in Bush's service record. Bush was a well-regarded pilot but stopped flying fighter jets in 1972 and moved to Alabama, where he worked on a political campaign and apparently missed required Guard drills.

Lucy Ramirez is most likely a bogus name.....
a made up person....as to throw investigating types off of the DNC trail.

WON'T WORK. Burkett is mentally unstable. It was either He, or Rather and the Dems, who made up Lucy Ramirez.

In earlier conversations with USA TODAY, Burkett had identified the source of the documents as George Conn, a former Texas National Guard colleague who works for the U.S. Army in Europe. Burkett now says he made up the story about Conn's involvement to divert attention from himself and the woman he now says provided him with the documents. He told USA TODAY that he also lied to CBS.




Well, Conn can now file legal action against Burkett.

It is a pleasure to be here today. I would like to thank Mayor Laredo, Mr. Gonzalez, and of course, Lucy Ramirez and the board members present for allowing me to take part in this very special event.

Burkett's emotions varied widely in the interviews. One session ended when Burkett suffered a violent seizure and collapsed in his chair""

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. ----

Speaking of Hardball, I'm watching Chris Matthews now, and he talked about that appearance by Burkett, and what wacky claims he made on that show. Matthews is truly incredulous that this guy is CBS' unimpeachable source!

"It's time," Burkett said. "I'm tired of me being the bad guy. I'm tired of losing everything we've got," a reference to his financial and health struggles since he left the Guard. Turning to his wife, Nicki, he said: "We've lost it all, baby. We've lost everything."




To which Nicki probably replied..."And you have lost your mind".

I guess Lucy Ramirez must have been a Navy lady, like Burkett, using terms like 'billet'...

Lucy Ramirez: the voice in Burkett's head.

"I didn't forge anything," Burkett said. "I didn't fake any documents. The only thing I've done here is to transfer documents from people I thought were real to people I thought were real. And that has been the limitation of my role. I may have been a patsy."




Wow, Burkett is a treasure trove of what is sure to be classic quotes.

Burkett had twice before been an on-the-record source for USA TODAY stories: a Dec. 18, 2001, story on inflated troop counts in the Guard nationwide — so-called ghost soldiers — and a Feb. 12 story this year in which Burkett recounted what he said were efforts by top Texas Guard officials to "cleanse" Bush's military record of embarrassing information in the summer of 1997""




Well, So much for the integrity of USA Today.
