#1 Burkett, a former National Guard official, who would not comment in an e-mail to The Washington Post on whether he had been CBS's confidential source.

Did it go like this?

Washing Post: Bill - were you the moron who used MS Word to assemble a memo from 1972?

Burkett: Hey!

#2 For his sake, I hope Burkett has a lawyer.

#3 I think CBS will use this to allow Burkett to voice whatever moonbat and unproven claims they (him and CBS) want without fear of incrimination and without a shread of evidence.

Or they will trot out another set of 'memos' -- this time typed on an actual Seletric typewriter (anyone know who won that EBAY auction?).

I expect them to spend 20 seconds on the forgeries and 20 minutes on the new claims and/or 'new' memos....

#4 Correct me if I am wrong but isn't/wasn't Burkett an unpaid member of the Kerry staff? Also I have read stories that paint Mr Burkett as a complete moonbat. Well if he isn't a Kerry Staffer he probably will be before next week. He will tour with Max Cleland and claim that he was outed and defamed by the VRWC and President Bush.

#6 Why, yes, Burkett does have a lawyer. It is none other than David "What difference would it make?" Van Os. He's running for the Texas Supreme Court, too.
