New York Post:
[…]while Lockhart insists that the documents were never mentioned in their conversation, he conceded “it’s possible” Mapes just happened to mention the memos when she asked him to give Burkett a call.
Yesterday, he explained it this way: Mapes asked Lockhart to speak to “a guy who is being helpful on this story,” adding that she just happened to mention that “there are some records that might move the story forward” without telling him what they said.
Maybe CBS isn’t the only one with a credibility problem.
****
update: Allah has more.
Maybe I should send a box of muffins that direction….
This makes total sense to me. Maybe Burkett told her General Walker was about to blow the whistle on the scam, being that he was in the Texas Air National Guard too.
Someone tell Walker to keep his windows closed. (Okay, he’s probably dead now but you started it…)
Oh, to have that conversation on tape! Phrases like “bringing down that theocratic nazi” and “this burkett nutso is our ticket to Kerryland” and lastly, “meet me at Kinkos for a copy and a quickie”
ewwww, sorry, couldn’t help myself,Jeff is rubbing off on me.
uh, Noonan has *much* more.

McAuliffe was talking about “sugarcoating” nine hours before the CBS broadcast.
Was that before the WH emailed out the PDFs?
“Sugercoat”? What coincidence? “Sugarcoat* is a normal *sugarcoat* part of most *sugarcoat* conversations I have *sugarcoat* with family and *sugarcoat* co-workers. Nothing to *sugarcoat* see here; just move *sugarcoat* along.
Did I mention *sugarcoat* that I have a most *sugarcoat* peculiar form of Tourette’s *sugarcoat* Syndrome?
For the last time, my name is Mary. Mary Mapes, not Patsy. Geez, you right-wingers are such idiots …
What’s with the photoshopping of a picture of Gary Oldman?
– if you don’t get that, watch JFK people!
Good eye, Mark but rather than watch JFK I recommend reading this if you’re a Kennedy assasination buff like I was at one point.
And while you’re at Amazon checking out Gerald Posner’s fine book, why not send Jeff “something frilly” from his wish list?
