BTW, I am posting from Blogs that were on the forefront of the Rathergate story. Wizbang.
Snippets From The CBS PDF
Wizbang will read 234 pages so you won't have to. (This will updated often)
This is just too funny. The whole thing started when Mapes went cruising the lefty moonbat sites and gets suckered.
From page 59:
On Monday, August 23, Mapes learned that Lieutenant Colonel Burkett was rumored to have important documents regarding the President’s TexANG service. Paul Lukasiak, who operates a website on which he posts disparaging analyses of President Bush’s TexANG service, told Mapes that another blogger, Linda Starr, had seen new TexANG documents regarding President Bush. Starr hosts a website that recently contained the slogan, “Bush lied, Americans died,” and is the editor of Online Journal, an online newsletter often critical of President Bush.
Mapes contacted Starr, who responded that she believed that Lieutenant Colonel Burkett had a two-page, classified document regarding President Bush’s TexANG service, and Starr speculated that it might be a disciplinary report. This disciplinary report was thought to relate to an assessment of whether Lieutenant Bush was fit to fly jets armed with nuclear weapons. Starr 60 told Mapes that Lieutenant Colonel Burkett was trying to determine the best way to disseminate the information to journalists “without leaving any fingerprints.”
Many people had speculated that Paul Lukasiak was involved. His name came up again and again. Ironically, if you go to his website he declares himself part of the "Reality Based Community." Liberals really are "ironically challenged" huh?
Linda Starr is another well known nut case. Who BTW was shilling the now discredited Professor Hailey report.
