'STOCKING-STUFFER' BERGER QUITS KERRY
By DEBORAH ORIN and VINCENT MORRIS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 21, 2004 -- WASHINGTON Former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger under criminal investigation for sneaking top-secret documents out of the National Archives in his pants legs and, possibly, his socks abruptly quit yesterday as an adviser to John Kerry.
The "sock-doc" probe into Berger's conduct threatened to explode into a major headache for Kerry before next week's Democratic convention, where his top goal is to convince Americans that he can be trusted with national security.
Berger, who served under then-President Bill Clinton, has been acting as an informal adviser to Kerry and public advocate for his campaign.

**How could this story come out now? **
Followed by "It's all Bush's fault."
On another thread:
Soxgate
Hey, it happens! Just the other night I found lost tax forms and police reports in my pants as I got ready for bed. While doing the wash the next morning, I found some bank statements in my socks. I can't imagine this doesn't happen to everybody.
"This is just one more attack on a Jew by those anti-Semitic Republicans."
I think the Dems just think that "Hey, we got away with the 'billing records mysteriously appearing on the table' excuse, so we are sure to get away with this, too.
The media will bury it for them.
I agree. The press has swallowed a lot for the Dems and for Clinton. In a way, they've swallowed more than Monica in their cult worship.
Thanks, you're right. Maybe they'll get Hollings or Byrd or Moran to launch that one. Is Sandy Jewish? I don't know, but it's not likely to matter.
Side bet: DOJ will assign a Jewish prosecutor to this or a Jewish Republican congressman will make a statement about what a shameful thing Berger did. Or both.
"I'm not a crook. I just have a bizzare, highly classified document fetish. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy when I stuff them down my pants. Gives me a real sense of power."
Well, I don't think his religion matters related to this in the least, but I won't doubt for a second that liberals - especially KKK Byrd, Hollings, REP Moran - will say that's why he's being investigated.
"Stocking stuffer"? He does kinda resemble Santa Claus, doesn't he?
A video tape....delicious!!!
I had missed that detail... I won't hold my breath; the Clinton Criminal Conspiracy has slipped the noose every time it looked like they were nailed, but maybe- just maybe- this will lead to their unravelling.
Suggestion will accomplish what direct accusation can't.
Well, here's a Clintonian explanation of the whole thing:
He was sitting in the archives when he suddenly felt a bit, er, lonely. He begins to, um, satisfy himself by shoving the documents down his pants, and in a nod to Dick Morris, his socks. This whole matter is therefore about sex, and we all know EVERYONE lies about sex. It's a personal matter between Sandy Berger and Georgia Pacific, and none of anybody's business.
I now feel the need to take a shower!
Ernest, you need to save this NY Post front page for SoxGate.
The picture of a file in the sox is great.
Not in a Fox!
Not in a Box!
Not in a Lox!
But in a Sox!
Before he leaves the building, check his socks.
Could have a fax machine or something in there.
Inadvertantly, of course.
