CLINTON SAYS BERGER-DOCUMENTS FUROR IS JUST POLITICS: 'WE WERE ALL LAUGHING ABOUT IT'
Tue Jul 20 2004 20:54:50 ET
Former president Bill Clinton defends his embattled national security advisor as a man who "always got things right," even if his desk was a mess.
"We were all laughing about it," Clinton said about the investigation into Sandy Berger for taking classified terrorism documents from the National Archives. "People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."

DRUDGE has learned: In an interview set for publication Wednesday in the DENVER POST, Clinton questions the timing of the Berger flap less than a week before the Democratic National Convention and two days before a presidential commission is slated to release its final report on the Bush administration's handling of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Clinton tells the POST he has known about the federal probe of Berger's actions for several months, calling the news a "non-story."
"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.
"I feel terrible for Sandy. But I just believe his explanation because I know how much he cared about this ... terrorism business," Clinton said, describing his former security advisor as a "workaholic" who has "always been up to his ears in papers."

You nailed it! This has Klintoon fingerprints all over it. They leaked it. And, The Beast comes riding to the rescue.
But the Kerry people said they just found out (yeah, sure) and that Berger hadn't told them he was under invedtigation.
There may be more truth to that than he can imagine.
bttt
Clinton doesn't apparently make the connection that his own NSA chief is that stupid.
FOFL!

Isn't it funny-strange how everything is one BIG joke to Bill Clinton... Ha Ha Ha ..He'll get his karma in spades.
He seriously suffers from arrested developement. No wonder sHillary had to nanny sit his sorry azz all these years.
Bingo. One can only conclude that the last administration was filled with incompetents OR criminals with intent. Either way, hardly a laughing matter.
Clinton moves very quickly, and in each of his statements, he tries to kill several birds with one stone.
In this case, you are right, he is directly promoting the subsidizing of idiots and incompetents to rule and dictate us what they are incapable of dictating to themselves.

"People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."
Interesting that Bill Clinton is expending more effort and political capital to defend Sandy Berger than another person who brought bad press to his administration. You have to ask why Sandy has more "loyalty" from Clinton than say, Les Aspin or countless other Clinton officials who found themselves in the hot seat.
It's not Bill's MO to stick his neck out for anyone.
Everytime I see that picture on FR, I say to myself, is that guy next to clinton a wax dummie.
Clinton is a jackass. I hope this leads to he and Hitlery's long anticipated punishment.
Are we about to here the White House was really trashed upon the big HE's exit?
I doubt it. No, Bush Republican silence has been bought.
"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.
- the THUG comes out. That is no joke. Its a threat.
The Clinton's fingerprints are all over this....they have to most to gain from the Bergergate caper....Berger works for KErry, and Kerry must run a clean campaign, so Berger jumps ship, but the story sticks because he was seen doing the paper trick. Kerry is about to be nominated...and guess what, the DNC is disenchanted with him... Kerry campaign rally's and all with the Berger memo material.. Eight years with Kerry and then another eight with "the good looking one" lets Hildabeast OUT OUT OUT!! Berger fell on the saber!!!!!! Conspiracy maybe, maybe not!!
heeyUCK yuck yuk.... We all think it is so funny that my former national security advisor ACCIDENTALLY stuck documents in his socks and underwear 3 different times... what a card!
I AM DETERMINED TO OUTLIVE HIM TOO- BUT I BET HE IS CREMATED AND HIS ASHES PLACED INDOORS TO PROHIBIT PEOPLE FROM PI$$ING ON HIS GRAVE
McAuliffe is already playing hardball, filing FOIA request for all communication between White House and Dept. Justice with regard to Sandy Berger.
#318...per drudge report today :)
