Last night, the Republican National Commitee leaked the story about an alleged investigation into a nation hero, the former NSC chief of the mighty Clinton administration Samuel Berger. This highly suspicious leak right before the DNC convention might seem odd to most, but not this reporter. Samuel Berger is innocent....er, I mean presumed innocent, but that did'nt stop Karl Rove and Halliburton from leaking this stupid story, now on to the Martha Stewart story.......

Did Rather ever retract and apologize for his accusation against candidate Bush that he made at the 2000 convention (for what I can not remember at this time)? The judge who put the information out came forward and revealed himself as the source, and if memory serves me right, the judge was a Clinton appointee.

Republicans continue to try and deflect attention from the upcoming "911 Report" by alleging a former Clinton Administration staff worker obtained documents from the Commission. And in other news, sever allegations of Dick Cheney's cannabilism continues to dog the GOP campain. Here with an in-depth look is John Edwards.

An accidental trifle, exploited by the Bushies to distract from the Halliburton scandal.

As much as I dislike Dan Rather I concede he is a colorful person. I especially like it when he speaks in metaphors and limericks.

I would like to see the editorial notes for the NYT to see how they decided to bury this story on page 17.

Reports of Samuel Berger taking money from foreign governments and a tit for tat exchange for assistance with leaking damaging information about Republicans is unsubstantiated. It's time to move on...

1)Will Dan Rather report the Berger story?

2)Will it snow in Hell today?

If you answered no to the second question, then that is your hint for question #1.

In a gross violation of privacy and human decency reminiscent of Watergate, Republican dirty tricksters illegally spied on Sandy Berger trying to dig up dirt to use in their campaign of fear and misinformation.

Not since the days of McCarthy and the witch hunts of the 50's has a party stooped so low.

Sandy Berger trying to prevent the misuse of documents attempted to secure them from the Republican led disinformation machine.

Just as he did with Clinton, like this:

Good evening, now for the story on the REPUBLICAN, Ken Starr's investigation of the President's PERSONAL LIFE.

Instead of this, JUDGE, Kenneth Starr is investigating alleged perjury in a sexual harrassment lawsuit, by President Clinton.

This is why the public still thinks Clinton was just a "bad boy", and Starr is a pervert.

And Saddam was innocent and Bush is a terrorist.

Can you even begin to imagine what how this story would be reported today/tonite if the headline read:

FROM THIS....

-AP: "Clinton aide took secret terror files"

TO THIS....

"Bush aide took secret terror files"

WASHINGTON - President Bush's national security adviser, Condaleza Rice, is the focus of a Justice Department investigation after removing highly classified terrorism documents and handwritten notes from a secure reading room during preparations for the Sept. 11 commission hearings.

Rice's home and office were searched earlier this year by FBI agents armed with warrants after she voluntarily returned documents to the National Archives. Still missing, however, are some drafts of a sensitive after-action report on the Bush administration's handling of al-Qaida terror threats.

Rice and her lawyer said Monday night she knowingly removed handwritten notes she had made while reading classified anti-terror documents at the archives by sticking them in her jacket and pants. She also inadvertently took copies of actual classified documents in a leather portfolio, they said.

"I deeply regret the sloppiness involved, but I had no intention of withholding documents from the commission, and to the contrary, to my knowledge, every document requested by the commission from the Bush administration was produced," Rice said in a statement to The Associated Press.
