#1 Is the Pope Catholic?

Joe Lockhart used the same language thats contained in the memo in an interview before 60 Minutes II aired.
He said something to the effect "We are looking into whether anyone sugar coated Bushs' service in the TANG."
This is where the real scandal lay, not with that addled fool Rather, he is the DNC's patsy in all this.

But just like much else in this campaign, the MSM will not pursue a legitimate story because it may be damaging to their boy Kerry.

#2 That report regarding Lockhard was later withdrawn. Lockhart did not use the term "sugarcoated" before the memos were released.

I'm no fan of Lockhard (God knows) but I do believe in keeping the record straight.

#3 I don't think we've heard the real story yet. It sounds to me like Camp Kerry and FOrt Rather are circling the wagons and hoping to ride it out. Personally, they should fire Rather and we should Flush the Johns.

#5 Welcome, Steven Den Beste!

Hmmâ¦ ~~Gilderoy~~ Lockhart and Burkett will probably be in the soup soon, and I'd Rather Dan were sacked with them.

#6 I stand corrected SDB, I wasn't aware that report had been withdrawn, and wouldn't want to be accused of twisting the truth.
The Clinton team has jaded me to this sort of nonsense and I think this whole thing smells like Lockhart, Carville and Begala. No proof, but I promise not to die from shock if some turns up.
