#1 So, how soon will Burkett get charged w/the tampering/forging of official military records which is a federal offense IIRC?

#7 Darn, everybody knows that Senor Ugarte has the REAL documents. "Too bad, about those two German couriers, wasn't it?"

#8 I didn't think it was possible for CBS to look any more stupid, but this pushes back the boundaries into previously unknown realms of institutional retardation.
It seems likely that Burkett was not willing to vouch for the documents himself, and Blather apparently STILL accepted them as authentic. It's a fallacy to appeal to authority, as in "unimpeachable source," but downright retarded to accept the authority of an unknown source.

#9 "After I left the livestock show these 3 German guys came up to me and wanted to know where the jade carving of a mockingbird was. They said Lucy must have given it to me. It's the color of a Margueritta and is called "The Tequila Mockingbird". I'm going to reveal where it is the next time I see Dan Rather". Burkett

#10 Lucy, don't you know that the needs of two people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world? Now get on that plane while I hold the gun on Louey here. We'll always have Paris.

Louey, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

#11 You people don't understand nuance.

First you look the pitcher in the eye and wiggle the bat, step out once or twice a show some cheap copies, step back in the box and pucker, then at the last minute show a bunt.

#16 ..Has anyone noticed that somebody trying to fake out CBS could only think of someone named 'Lucy'?

#17 Mike, you're not suggesting that Lucy got the memos from Ricky? A Cuban connection?

#18 Actually the first name, Lucy, reminded me of the leader of the Soviet spy ring in Bern during WWII, Rudolph Rossler. Lucie was the codename of Stalin's main German agent, who filtered German High Command information to Moscow. The guy who warned Stalin about Operation Citdel.

I know, it's not the same, but I was reminded.

#20 There is another part later on that is pure theater. Check it out:

"As Burkett told his story, he appeared overwrought, fatigued and unsure of how to deal with what he characterized as the extreme pressure of national attention. He spoke of being under a severe strain.

At one point Thursday, as he spoke on a cell phone 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."
