Who is your “unimpeachable source,” Dan? Out with it. Because it ain’t Burkett, that’s for sure. C’mon. We’re waiting…. **** update: visualize, my children.

Team Kerry: “Do as we whine, not as we assert”
Fresh off a week’s worth of faux outrage over Dick Cheney’s suggestion that a Kerry administration will make America more vulnerable to terrorist attacks (a suggestion he never made), the Kerry campaign today warned Americans that the reelection of George Bush will almost certainly lead to Armageddon. Because they have no shame. Whatsoever. None. random fabricated headline: “Incredibly stupid people in all 50 states threaten to cast votes for John

Hmmm.
Hmmmm.* For the record, I believe Burkett to be a classic patsy—an ideologue with an ax to grind whose history of anti-Bush lunacy is being exploited by someone with a bit more juice than Burkett could muster on his own. I believe Cleland was used by that same person or persons. Bill INDC shares my reservations—at least in regard to Burkett. Michele, too. I speculated early this morning that Burkett

Barnes and (Ig)Noble
Keeping on with the Barnes / Burkett / Rather axis-of-evil theory (sorry, my nipples insist), there’s this from John Ellis, posted September 11: If you traveled in certain circles on the East Coast this past summer, the one story you heard over and over again was that Ben Barnes had the goods on George W. Bush’s National Guard record and that CBS News was going to break the story on

RatherGate: Voyager
Okay. So me and the weaponized nipples* are ready to add a few thoughts to Allah’s recent RatherGate observations, because I think the points he raises are both important and suggestive. First, Allah excerpts bits from the Washington Post story that add to the “established” time line: In mid-August, Mapes told her bosses that she had finally tracked down a source who claimed to have access to memos written in
