Expect the following soon. DNC talking points will say and we the citizenry will hear:

Continuations of the “How could this story come out now?” line questioning the timing and not the crime.

And quickly the points will turn to:

“All National Security Advisers do this.”

“Berger’s critics are right-wing Christians; they’re fundamentalist whack jobs who want to take away a women’s right to choose.”

“No attack on Sandy Berger ever fed a poor starving child.”

“This is all a distraction from the war in Iraq and the failure to find WMD. What about abu Graib?”

“Fawn Hall shredded documents.”

“This investigation has dragged out way too long and cost too much money.”

“This is all about politics. It’s time to move on and get about creating jobs in this the worst economy since the Depression.”

“The motives of the prosecutors are suspect.”

“What’s the big deal. Everyone lies about stuffing their pants.”

"Republicans are obsessed with sex and want the government in everyone's pants."

"Sandy is a woman's name. The Republicans are homophobic, as seen by Governor Schwarznegger's recent "girlie man" comments. The American people are sick and tired of this mean-spirited, wedge issue politics."

“The people in France are shocked and don’t understand the big fuss in the states about this.”

The story dies in the next three days. Berger is back on the team in no time. ABC inadvertently hires him as a consultant to critique the Bush presidency. The public moves on as Carville and Bill Clinton said they should.

If the "timing" talking point doesn't get any traction, the Democrats will go with the old reliable stand by, which is, "not the nature of the evidence, but the seriousness of the charge"

**“How could this story come out now?” **

Followed by "It's all Bush's fault."

You forgot one, ehl...

"This is just one more attack on a Jew by those anti-Semitic Republicans."
