For those of you who even care how this story developed, may I recommend USA Today article yesterday, if you can bring it up on their website. Apparently UT was the paper medium that Burkett was working with to get his forged documents out, and their story is an amazing one, with Burkett communicating with Joe Lockhart, the spokesman of the Kerry campaign after being connected with him through Mary Mapes, the CBS producer of the "60 Minutes" piece.

I suspect that the Kerry people had no knowledge that the documents were forged, but were looking for any fair wind to blow their way, only to watch the story explode in their faces, right after they made their statements, cued by Burkett, that this proved Bush's AWOL status.

It reminds me of the old saying "There was too much suger for the dime".

I think this one is over, no matter what the debates do, though I was suprised at Candy Crowley's comments that the Bush people agreed to three debates almost immediately. I hope that is not a sign of over-confindence, but hey, sally forth!

And if I'm right, you guys can look forward to a Hillary and ?, vs McCain and Gulianni in four    more    years...
