« Haiku Contest | Main | It Gets Worse: Burkett Gave Documents to CBS Only Upon the Condition that CBS Broker a Meeting with the Kerry Campaign »
September 20, 2004

Retracted Story: Was-- DNC's Last Line of Defense?: "Don't blame us; we told CBS they looked fake"

Random Birkel reports that Tony Coehlo admitted on Hardball that the DNC had these documents previous to the CBS report, but they, ahem, told CBS the documents looked fake, presumably, ahem, trying to warn CBS not to go with the story.

Ummm... right.


Random Birkel now says Coehlo was talking about the Gore campaign knowing about these charges.

Sorry for the gaffe.

And Joe Lockhart called the Texas Col for Mary Mapes. See Allah. Wrap it up--the DNC>

Okay, so let me get this straight. The DNC finally gets their hands on the memos that support a claim McCauliffe has been peddling for months, and they're too flakey for the DNC to use themselves. So, they get CBS to do it. But, did they still respect them in the morning?

Oh, dear. Well, that's pretty much how the Kerry Spot/Prowler showed it on the Friday morning.

Eventually, I should stop snickering.

Let's add 4 More onto the List, excluding the whole unofficial Democratic 527 better known as CBS)

1. First, Ben Barnes and ex-Senator Cleland's pal David Van Os...Oh yeah!! The lawyer who was by Burkett's side when the first reporter showed up on the "Burkett was the source" rumors started flying.

Former head of his county Democrats, fundraiser.
A "Deans Dozen Selectee" - meaning Howlin' Howard went to Texas to campaign for him in May. Member of the Florida Recount team. Candidate for Texas Supreme Court.

One of the 10 most prominent Texas Democrats.

Who just happened to show up at Burkett's door - vice 76,000 other lawyers - as Burkett's counsel.


2. Strong Texas Democrat, ex-CBS newsman, and writer James C. Moore. Author of "Bush's Brain" and "Bush's War for Re-election". Both books involving many background interviews with Max Cleland and Bill Burkett. On February 15th and 16th, Moore and Burkett flew to NYC together for a series of interviews with CBS, CNN, Bill Mahres HBO show, Paula Zahn, and PBS about Bush's National Guard record.

3. Terry McAufliffe, who was attendee at a nice dinner or two in the late summer at his #3 Fundraiser's tony Nantucket house. No word if Barnes's next door neighbor Dan Rather attended, or if the Great War Hero himself, who was famously wind-surfing on Nantucket showed up.

4. Walter Robinson, of the Boston Globe (owned by the NYTimes), who curiously has written anti-Bush Guard articles at the same time as CBS, Dem candidates, DNC, Democratic 527s have all elected to launch their dayys/weeks/months in the making anti-Bush Guard stuff. In Nov 2000, Feb 2004, and Sept 2004, Walter Robinson always led with the first blow.

That explains why prominent democrats DEFENDED THE STORY THEY KNEW WAS BOGUS. Actually, that explains a lot, doesn't it?
