Burkett is on Hardball

[CatWoman]

now............

p.s. the Lt. Col. who saw *'s TANG records in the trash.

[Robin Hood]

1. Holy crap!!!

The damn has broken.

[Cush]

2. ohhh

and here I was getting ready to watch Caps/Canes hockey game. This should be more entertaining

:hi:

[CatWoman]

5. LOL

You mean I beat out the quick fingered Cush?? :wow:

:hi:

[Cush]

3. Karen Hughes mentioned

[buff2]

4. Hi Cat.....

This is good...I didn't think this story would last long.....but I think this is going to be different. I hope. :evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

6. Rocking and rollin', Buff

he's sticking to his story

:hi:

[buff2]

13. I love it........

Geez...we need to get rid of that idiot.....SOON! It's long overdue that this creep is shown for what he REALLY is......and he isn't GOD,either. :evilgrin:

[Hoppin_Mad]

7. The Shit is hitting the Fan ! -nt-

[CatWoman]

9. Tweety is grilling him

but he's sticking to his story .........

[Kahuna]

15. The fizz-zan! For sure.

:wow:

[Brian Sweat]

50. We're going to need a bigger fan.

[Kahuna]

Sweeeet. My DVR is recording this. Caramba!

No wonder the bushistas and drudge are doing the Kerry/clark "scandal."

[hlthe2b]

16. Can you post a clip later on tonight?

[Kahuna]

17. Sorry. I can't edit it down. It's recorded as a..

recorded tv file on my PC hard drive.

[linda d]

8. tweety and burkett

holy crap, i may have to rethink tweety's whoredom...

[Cush]

10. Jeez

how many tiems can Tweety ask the same question?

[hlthe2b]

12. What is he asking? Remember the Cube Rats, please

[CatWoman]

18. He keeps asking Burkett to retrace his steps

i.e., describe the phone call (conference call) he overheard, asking that *'s records be scrubbed.

Also, he went through the trash, and personally saw the documents.

Tweety trying to hit him up because he's a dem.

And Burkett just swore to God and the American people that he is telling the truth.

[SoCalDem]

32. After they left, why didn;t he just remove them from the trash?

Things would be a lot easier if he had..

and why did Albaugh & Bartlett not just take the papers with them ??

[CatWoman]

36. good question, So Cal

I have to refer to the orignial story to see if anything is said about that.

[mike1963]

38. Allbaugh and Bartlett were not there, they were on a conf. call.

Burkett said he was not proud that he peeked at the papers...and probably had no opportunity (or reason, maybe at the time) to snatch them.

[Kahuna]

41. Yeah. The trash basket seems too amateurish.

Good point.

[Zomby Woof]

73. No!

Tweety was doing that ON PURPOSE. He wanted as MANY DETAILS as possible, so that the story has legs and credibility. Take it from a Tweety-loather like myself, he was doing it right, lol.

[RummyTheDummy]

14. It's like he's on trial. Matthews is like a prosecutor or something. N/T

NT

[NNN0LHI]

11. Someone is going to jail over this shit n/t

[RummyTheDummy]

23. Allbaugh says its BS.....

But didn't * make him director of FEMA? If that's the case....follow the money/influence blackmail trail. What qualifications does Allbaugh have to be director of FEMA? A payoff perhaps?

Man these people are scum.

[RapidCreek]

37. Odd, don't you think, that Tweety didn't ask him about that?

Hmmmm... Maybe Allbaughs sexy, bulging, manly man forearms have him all a twitter.

RC

[Kahuna]

44. Oh goody! It's Bash Dean Time now.

:eyes:

[ignatius]

65. Yep, and James(the guy who was major general in Texas) is now

head of the entire Air National Guard.

Mueller, head of the FBI, was lead prosecutor in the BCCI(the bank who laundered drug and arms money in Iran contra) who pretty much botched the entire case. He was appointed in 7-01 to the FBI job.

I wonder how many of Poppy and Dubyas partners in crime hold major appointments?

[DemBones DemBones]

27. Jail? What about statute of limitations?

Does the UCMJ have a statute of limitations? I truly have no idea if it does.

[Cush]

19. no wavering

Chris: Would you say this under oath?

Burkett: I'm saying this to you, on live camera and to the american people (not his exact words)

[CatWoman]

21. Of course, the

WH says, "it's a disgrutled person".

Tweety is asking for someone who served with * to come forward.

[kanrok]

53. and: "God is my pilot on this, Mr. Matthews."

n/t

[Robin Hood]

20. WOw!! Heeee hawww!!

Burke was smoking. THe WH can't touch this guy.

[rasputin1952]

22. Hail and Holy Shit!...

how long do you think this guy will be around.

This is a tough guy!

Nora on now....bush spin, denials, etc; I think Nora dislikes bush, and is trying to be a journalist. She got beaten up in the Rose Garden interview, and she is a little gunshy.

O8)

on edit: update Tweety says Karen Huhes and others asked to comment, 'were not available'; kind of funny, they are ALWAYS available to defend bush, but not this time. Guess it takes a lot to get the story straight between all of those that are involved, don't want any ?'s after the lies pour out!

[DoYouEverWonder]

25. Read his story

They've already tried to kill him.

Word from the WH is that they are pissed. I bet they are freaking out.

[rasputin1952]

45. Yikes!...

I always knew this cabal was evil, but this is downright horrid!

SOB bush, needs to be exposed and charged with treason! There must be others out there with the guts to show what they know, sure hope they speak up, and soon.

O8)

[buycitgo]

33. holy lord.....John Fund coming up as "analyst"

tweety implores the MAJORITY of Americans who support dumbo to call in if they have any knowledge of chimpy's whereabouts in 72-73!

swear to god!

shoulda seen the concerned look on his face; as if he'd lost his bestest buddy, his big toe.

his Sgt. Hulka!

[Stephanie]

68. They're not available on the adivce of counsel

It's every man for himself in BushCO these days, wuold be my guess.

[burythehatchet]

24. If I was a hateful fellow

I sure would want to rip Matthew' head off and piss down his neck.

[SoCalDem]

26. Tweety: "Please..somebody..Let's get this behind us"..

He's begging someone..anyone to call NBC or papers to admit that they served with the president ..

He's distraught.. He just loves that manly president we have.. especially in jeans :)

[hlthe2b]

28. God, isn't that Pathetic? !!!!!!!!!!!

[Kahuna]

29. I didn't take it as tweety begging for smirky. I took it as...

tweety being a wise ass and issuing a challenge. In essense saying, wonder why there is no one who saw him in Alabama. If anyone exists, produce them.

[CatWoman]

34. that's the way I took it too

[mike1963]

40. I think that's right. Thinly disguised sarcasm is what I saw...

but what do I know?
:eyes:
Regardless, you know Rove is wetting his jockeys over this non-disappearing story.

[blm]

46. That's how I took it. More mocking sincerity than

anything else.

[WillyT]

61. Tee, Hee...

:loveya:

[CatWoman]

31. ack!!! John Fund!!!!

whatever happened to Tweety's buddy, Fineman?

[Kahuna]

35. Fineman is not a sycophant anymore...

That's what happened to Howie.

[salinen]

39. Tweeties asking?

Priceless. The WH can't do it for themselves? Find anyone, anyone, who saw chimp. These pigs are totally FUCKED. hahahahaha!

[CatWoman]

42. He's gonna have Barry McCaffery on in a little bit

to talk about the role of the Guard during the Vietnam war.

I'm not hopeful.

[NNN0LHI]

43. I think McCaffery will tell the truth about this n/t

[CatWoman]

47. we shall see

he's up after the break

[onecitizen]

49. How did I miss this??

I've been sitting here watching and somehow, I missed it! Sheesh!

[CatWoman]

51. It replays around 11 or midnight

[Kahuna]

52. What else were you doing while you were "watching" it?

:evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

55. giggling like a school girl

:evilgrin:

[RedEarth]

54. Burkett seemed very creditable of me......

Hopefully this will continue to have legs.

[Dudley_DUright]

56. Burkett also interviewed in print by blogger Calpundit (Kevin Drum)

See the following thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=1113763&mesg_id=1113763

[napi21]

57. Where did Chris find Burkett?

We'll know if this has any impact if and when it is heard on any other news shows. I grant you, Hardball is a decent start, but if this creeps into CNN, regular MSNBC, or even ABC. CBS. or NBC, Nellie bar the door!

This Burkett said he had gone to some superiors in the Guard in 1997. Seems there's got to be a reason this is only surfacing now.

I HOPE it has legs....very long ones! I am just very wary.

[DoYouEverWonder]

60. Burkett has been writing for Online Journal

since last May.

See the link I posted above. I posted this information on DU back in May! This isn't new news, it is just that most people are just hearing about it for the first time.

[juajen]

62. Burkett also on Paula Zahn tonight

N/T

[grasswire]

63. credible but..........

Burkett claims three events.

Day one: in 1997 overheard speakerphone conversation between Bartlett, Albaugh, and James. James was being informed that Bartlett and Karen Hughes would be coming to review Bush's records to make sure nothing would embarrass the governor.

Day two: something he called "conveyance" -- I think that meant someone conveyed the news that the visit was going to happen.

Ten days later, he was in a room where there was a long table and a trash can, and in the trash can he saw file folders with Bush's name handwritten on them. He looked through the top papers and saw that they were Bush records -- performance records and some pay stubs.

But the question remains. Why would those records be trashed? Why wouldn't they be removed or destroyed by a shredder?

I believe Burkett fully. I'm just puzzled.

[CatWoman]

64. shredding wasn't "en vogue" back then

and it's not as if these guys were trying to be sneaky about it -- they were emboldened because they were taking care of a big shot's son. They did'nt count on everyone being as sleazy as they are.

[rasputin1952]

66. Let's also not forget...

nobody ever accused these people of being overly smart!

:hi: CW

:evilgrin:

[CatWoman]

67. Rasp!!

:hi:

[markses]

69. Back then? Burkett incident happened in 1997 or 1998!

Whatcha mean?

[CatWoman]

70. I'm sorry -- I'm thinking the 70s

whoops............

[Q]

71. I think it makes sense...

...that the 'Bush* Files' were thrown in the trash rather than shredded or destroyed in some other ominous way. Disgarded files in the trash look more 'routine' and less suspicious than people lurking around having shredding parties.

- There are many people such as this man that have come forward over the years to 'testify' about Bush's* horrible record and past. But as we saw with the 2000 campaign...they were quickly discounted as partisan or Bush* haters.

- But this is exactly how Nixon finally went down...as more and more people stepped forward to expose the pattern of lies and deceit.

[Zomby Woof]

72. that was GREAT!

I loathe Tweety, but even he tastes blood! This is still the REAL news, and not some Drudged-up bullshit about Kerry.

Norville had a Chimp-apologist on however, but he only knew Bush from the pre-Alabama days. Desperation from the WH! :D

[CatWoman]

74. LOL

Next they'll parade out *'s nanny.

:hi:

[Zomby Woof]

75. what a thankless job!

Cleaning up his beer bottles and changing his diapers! :D
