Bill Burkett's BlogIt looks genuine, at least upon first examination. I'm really not sure about some of those typefaces, though. Ironically enough, it now turns out that Dan Rather's "unimpeachable source" is a partisan blogger, too. There's absolutely nothing of any interest on the blog thusfar. A lot of whining about CBS News to no particular purpose, and Burkett's six billionth flogging of the AWOL charges. The link is here, and I suppose it wouldn't hurt to click on it, except that he'll be using his traffic stats to sell blogads soon, I imagine. Thanks to Cedarford. Update-- The Logic of a Disordered Mind: Burkett had admitted his deception concerning his source(s) to CBS prior to the interview and that only five individuals within CBS had prior knowledge of this before the interview. Why Was this the entire focus of the interview and the clip placed on the CBS Evening News? What the heck is his complaint here? Why is it relevant that "only five individuals" knew he lied before the interview? What has that got to do with anything? And why wouldn't his admitted lie be featured prominently? I don't even get this one. posted by Ace at 02:30 PM

They delete any comments they don't agree with immediately. Their disclaimer says "This is not a site for harrassment. Posts that deal without fact and are deemed harrassing in nature will not be posted." If they had been applying this principle 2 months ago they would have hit the delete button and they wouldn't be be having to hit it every 15 seconds now.

Well, I don't think anyone should try to disagree with him. He's obviously thin-skinned. If anyone wants to post comments, ask him about what CBS knew and when. He seems eager to disparage CBS News, and that's something that should be taken advantage of. Posted by: ace on September 30, 2004 03:36 PM

ACE - I looked into the guy who set up Burkett's Site, and registered the domain www.billburkett.us - Geoff Staples. It seems that Geoff is a Precinct Chairman for the Dallas County Democratic Party, and their Website is also set up by him. He is the General Manager and Program Director for RadioLeft.com, and has interviewed Burkett before on his radio shows. Staples is a long-time gay and Progressive Democratic activist who is a member of the Progressive Populist Caucus of the Texas Democratic Party, which is chaired by David Van Os. I also found postings Geoff Staples has written as an "expert" on Votematic machines during the Florida recount, flaming lefty posts on the need to impeach Bush, stuff on how Bush was AWOL from the Guard, and the need to "fight dirty" after the SwiftVets. I will be sending you an email with a Word Attachment on some stuff he has done with Burkett, the Texas Dems, and links. I want to explore some other Democratic web sites Geoff Staples has set up as part of his business, hostricity.com. You are free to pass on this stuff I'm sending you to Allahpundit, Drudge, whoever...if you want. I think the bottom line is Burkett was well connected with Democratic activists as he pursued the "Bush was AWOL, and I can prove it" quest. He gets Van Os as his lawyer, knows Ben Barnes, and has Geoff Staples, activist and Webhoster for various democratic groups, set up his website. That IS Burkett's regular network, and if he had assistance in forging his documents, the co-conspirators are likely to be within that group. I plan on submitting a post to Burkett's site to his son Nick saying the family and Bill should consider coming clean on the source to disprove the assumption that Burkett did it all on his own, if that is the case. Posted by: Cedarford on September 30, 2004 04:30 PM
Given that it was noted early on that the creation and circulation of these memos might be a criminal matter, it seems passing strange that Burkett would set up and post to a website - or that any of his very worldly associates and advisors would suggest that he do so or participate. Then again, he did agree to at least one post-debunking interview, which isn't something most lawyers would suggest to someone who might soon find himself facing investigators.

Few people remember that Norm MacDonald began his career as a ventriloquist
MacDonald's old partner Adam Egot revealed that MacDonald repurposed a bit with one of his ventriloquist dolls -- that he was a "bad guy" who "didn't believe the Holocaust happened" -- for the Norm MacDonald show, in which he claimed Egot didn't believe in the Holocaust. Funniest thing I've read about the Virginia mess. Back when they were hustling the referendum through the assembly both Senators, Warner and Kaine, advised them to go slow and play by the rules. Louise Lucas said she respected them but didn't need advice from the "cuck chair" in the corner. The gerrymandering was overturned and Louise is heading for the big house. Edward G. Robinson voice "where's your cuck now?" I posted his post on twitter and it's gotten 25K views so far. Thanks, Smell the Glove Chris
Forgotten 80s Mystery Click That Sums Up the Democrat Communist Party Today

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source" Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held. Basil the Great
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.
Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing. Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult. Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending. (((Dan Hodges))) Nick Lowles
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98. Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years. Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45 Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%. I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens. REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs. Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
![]() That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time. I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
