Can you imagine someone having the honor of working for President Reagan, seeing greatness up close, and then deciding to join the Clintonistas instead? What the hell happened in this idiot's life that he decided socialism, weakness and evil were the way to go instead of enterprise, defense and morality?
10. Was absent on day Clinton held Document Handling 101 class at local Hooters
9. After two weeks on Jenny Craig, socks wouldn’t stay up, and neither would pants
8. Street guy taught him trick to staying warm
9. Craig Livingston said it was OK
7. Hillary asked him to
6. Marine guarding files had his back turned
5. Ran out of firewood at home, and it was a cold day
4. Kerry had been in Aspen and wanted a briefing
3. Joe Wilson didn’t actually have any documents and felt left out
2. The media would bury the story
1. With Jamie Gorelick already on the Commission stealing them wouldn’t matter
IMHO, it would be a good idea to use ellipses in the extracted article to indicate that the "inadvertently" paragraph is actually the fourteenth paragraph in the article, instead of the second paragraph (as it appears here).
I meant "excerpted", not "extracted".
He was a Humphrey DemocRAT before he took a job in the Nixon Administration. Looks like he's returning to his roots.
And Hillary was a former first lady of an impeached president and a paper shredder. This stuff with Berger isn't surprising considering that Hillary got by with shredding documents and both Clintons lied about everything.
So Solly -- Blain Lock-
Sandy Berger just came out with a statement, per Fox News.
He says he made an honest mistake which he deeply regrets.
He is a LITTLE nervous! His voice was cracking. I didn't get it all but it was really short. Reminded me of the "clinton years".
"David Gergen, a former advisor to both Democrat and Republican presidents vouched for Samuel [Burglar] on the Today Show today." He called him "a hero on the war on terror, a man of utter integrity, saying that this is suspicious that this would leak just before the release of the 9/11 commission's report." He said it's "not even clear to Burglar that this investigation is still underway and no charges have been brought against him." When NBC's Katie Couric followed up and asked Gergen if he was suggesting this story might be coming out now as a distraction. Gergen said, "Well, it has those overtones. Let's let more facts come out." Gergen said he doesn't think the Berger story reflects on Senator Kerry. He did say, however, that what would hurt the Kerry campaign would be if Sandy Burglar would have to withdraw from his role as an advisor to the Kerry campaign.
So it's the timing of the leak now. It's not the "nature of the evidence." It's not "the seriousness of the charge." Now we've got a third element in all this: it's the timing of the leak that we must really look at here. Don't you love these people, how they instantly shift the goalposts? When it's us that they're looking at, the nature of the evidence doesn't matter; it's the seriousness of the charge. Now we've got a pretty serious charge, "That's nothing. That's nothing." The seriousness of the charge is nothing! It's the timing of the leak. (Laughing.) Pretty soon we're going to hear there's "no controlling legal authority" here. I'm sorry to laugh at this, but you have to. You just have to. I mean, it is serious stuff, and I'm not through with the serious explanation of all this. (Laughing.) The timing of the leak. I mean, David Gergen would know. He served with numerous presidents. He's known to speak off the record with numerous reporters, but what about the "timing"? Since they want to focus on the timing of this so-called leak, let's look at the timing. Would it have been preferable that the leak occur later? Or, since we're talking the timing now, would they have preferred the leak occur later or would they have preferred the leak earlier? And when there's a criminal investigation of a high profile person like Sandy Berger, it's rarely kept secret.
Why was President Clinton's testimony before this commission not made public ?
How 'bout this #1: "Because I could."

"I sent an angry email to public@NYTimes.com yesterday."
Good job! Don't these slimy liberal journalists just make you want to scream? I can't wait for the day when we take these bastards down.
Snafu?
Incredible. The man has been out of office for four years and he continues to have scandals.
"INADVERTANTLY? "
The New York Times must believe their subsribers are all idiots.
