When the NY TIMES says that, you can be sure they've already been given the go-ahead to make Berger a sacrificial lamb!
You are correct. Seems as though the Times has been given the go-ahead to use Berger to undermine Kerry for the Clintons. Obviously, I don't have a problem with anything undermining Kerry, we'll have to deal with the Hildabeast sooner or later, it may as well be in 2008.
