Rathergate was likely a Karl Rove dirty trick frame-up.

The story was true, by the way, that Bush's 7 months of 1971 Guard records are missing and there were reports of Bush campaign people visiting the place they kept the records the year before the election. They were likely destroyed. The rumor is he was busted for cocaine at the time. But all we know for sure is that he refused to take a mandatory drug test and was grounded, then basically disappeared for 7 months, showing only once to get a dental exam.

As for Burkett, the CBS people report him being a rightwing religious nut, down on his knees praying when they visited him. So Rove could have been using this guy, as he did other religious nuts to perp a dirty trick.

Also, how did rightwing blogs immediately know the typeface was wrong? They must have been tipped off.

This smacks of the time Rove planted a listening device in his own office, then called in the FBI to investigate his opponent, who he accused of planting it.
