As far as I know, you are the only one worrying about the democrats' feelings. In a few weeks no one will remember when this story broke, only whether it is still big.
I am always a bit suspicious of plea bargins. When someone agrees to plea to several counts of a felony, I wonder what they are hoping to avoid.
As for what the dems hope to accomplish in the press, consider what the press has already done to itself. Large newpapers and major broadcast networks are on record saying that the theft and destruction of Pearl Harbor level documents is no big deal. They will, I think, regret this.
I am not worried about the Democrat's feelings. I made a typo and this may be why you thing this.
Correct to read , "This thread may help Kerry and embarrass BUSH by misrepresenting what Chambliss said. Already McAuliff has embarrassed the White House by filing a FOI request."
I left out "Bush."
