   You know a campaign’s in trouble when Joe Lockhart is so dumbfounded that even he can’t come up with a good lie.

   The USA Today story starts out with

   CBS arranged for a confidential source to talk with Joe Lockhart, a top aide to Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, after the source provided the network with the now-disputed documents about President Bush’s service in the Texas National Guard.

   The music you are hearing in the background is the closing bars of Richard Wagner’s Gotterdammerung, the part were Valhalla, and the Gods inside, are consumed by flames.

   First question…why did Lockhart cop to this???
   
   Second question…how are your nipples?

   Or broccoli, either. And I don’t care if that’s consorting with the enemy.

   Can we have ONE thread here without Jeff’s nipples???
   
   But since you brought it up…You gotta feel sorry for the guy. There are distinct disadvantages to having nipples that cut glass.

   The “now-disputed” documents?

   How long are they going to run with this story?

   Where’s the “f” word? (Forgeries, Jeff)

   And CBS’s story tonight looks like they’re still standing by the story–it’s just the docs they got wrong.

   At this rate, Kerry’s still out of the limelight. Maybe he should just give up campaigning all together, and go on behaving as if he were a celeb. Letterman tonight, Larry King, and Dr. Phil later in the week–maybe Jon Stewart will have him back on. He just needs a little more time with Katie, add in Oprah, and he can pretend he’s in the same league with Paris Hilton. Maybe the Donald can get him a reality show–The Candidate–where 20-somethings can try out to be his spokesperson. Maybe Mary Mapes will produce, I’m guessing she’s available.

    Damn it.  Now my nipples are hardening too.  When Betsy West, a “senor CBS News vice president” admits that they improperly tipped off the Kerry campaign, well, let’s just say this story shifted into overdrive.

    At a time when Kerry must get his message out or lose badly, CBS releases a Watergate-esq admission like this.  Buh-bye John-John.

    I predict congressional hearings within days.  The Repubs have nothing to lose and the Dems can’t block them without looking like they’re protecting a cover-up.

    In that pic, Lockhart looks like William Shatner after Leonard Nimoy takes away his Priceline pitchman job.
