TP (and Ted), the bottom line here is that you guys have a hard time believing that CBS messed this up all on their own, especially when they were oh-so-close to nailing Bush. Hence, it must be Rove!

Sooner or later, I think you guys are going to figure out that Karl Rove isn't that much smarter than, say, Terry McAuliffe. Ever wonder why "Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" is such a popular book?


I don't think Rove is smarter but I think he's dirtier. However, I think this one has much more risk than even he's willing to undertake.

The real problem is the scenario.

There is not a plausible scenario where Burkett or a confederate forged the documents and did such a bad job of it. You can't just look at each step in this drama as if hey were unrelated. That doesn't mean that all the steps were planned, or even those which were planned came from the same person, the but the gestalt of the scenario has to flow with some idea to motives and opportunity.

The scenario of Kerry sending such an amature effort, or Burkett setting himself up for humiliation does not have such a flow.
