Gergen, you miserable excuse for an American, how the heck can you shill for these people?!
Well, they'll certainly never have to worry about being afflicted with testosterone poisoning.
Good point. Happens all the time. I was getting dressed this morning, looked down, and whaddya know? - the president's daily intelligence briefing from yesterday!
This is insane
Where would the Post/NY Times have played it if a Republican had been accused of stealing classified documents? </end rhetorical question>
Nice work, governs. Didn't know Gergen would be on and I would learn that, if it's not on the front page of the WaPo, I don't have to worry about it.
Not only would it be front page, but they'd give free delivery to make sure everyone got a copy.
(btw, I didn't mean to imply that it was in any way surprising. Insanity seems to rule the day(s))
One doesn't just forget about, misplace, or throw away classified documents. Whenever one has a class document out for study, the document is always on the top of your mind. It must be kept in plain view with an appropriate cover on it. You are responsible for it and for its safekeeping. Upon completion, you return it to the safe or vault that is its home. That's the way it works where i work.
This "I threw it out with the trash" is so much male bovine fecal effluvia.
Berger is going to get the John Deutch treatment. Maybe, just maybe a slap on the wrist, but no more than that. The rules for Clintonistas are different than the rules for everybody else. What would put you in jail puts Sandy Berger on TV with Gergen defending him.
Barf!
NYT had the Berger story on page A-17. No news, you know.
Was that pic of the see no evil monkeys photoshopped?
This is important:
Contrary to what Gergen claimed, Steve Doocy on Fox just stated that Berger took some ORIGINAL documents, not just copies. This is key because it means the documents he took would NOT have been available to the commission.
How did Gergen explain why Sandy was stuffing these documents down his pants?
I'm sure he didn't mean any harm - he just did it cuz it 'felt good'.
Secretary of Defense Cohen, President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Albright, National Security Adviser Sandy Berger,
holding room of the Ronald Reagan Building, April 25, 1999
"We were all making comments we shouldn't have about how the meeting was getting very boring.
So finally we decided we had to make like the monkey. Cohen
started this 'hear no evil,' and then I was next so I spoke no evil,
then Madeleine saw no evil, so Sandy Berger said, 'I'm evil.'" - Bill Clinton
I saw that this morning.
If I recall correctly, Gergen's defense was that it was "a heck of a lot cheaper than Enzyte."
"I was actually shocked by the lengths to which Gergen went to carry water for Berger and the Clinton admin and to smear the Republicans...."
I just listened to this, and I cannot believe the spin. Does anyone know if Berger in fact took originals of any of the documents which have now gone missing? Gergen says no.
I just turned that into a Powerpoint poster. Thanks!
See my post above: according to Steve Doocy at Fox, Berger took originals, and even went back to the archives on a number of occasions to make sure he retrieved all copies of some documents, suggesting an intent to hide them from the commission.
