I bet Berger comes up ONCE tomorrow morning, during the FNS panel segment IF Brit Hume is there. If not, I don't think we'll hear anything at all. Chris Wallace, Tim Russert, Bob Scheiffer, and Georgie Steponwhatever are far too giddy about the dem convention to worry about Berger.
You might get a snippet from the dog-eat-dog shows like McLaughlin and Washington Week.
Last night on Jim Lehrer, the despicable Mark Shields basically spun it as "show business" because of the "timing." He did admit they were trying to "reconstruct the Clinton record" but questioned "the timing." Then he went back and said it didn't effect the Commission because they "already had" the information. Huh? Zilcho about the criminality.
David Brooks - the pseudo-conservative - said it was "bad", in the same way you'd say "bad" to an errant puppydog, through admitting one shouldn't handle classified materials this way. Then on to the manner in which Berger is admired in Washington, but this will damage his chances in any possible Kerry administration (duh), and that he might have to lay low for a while. Nothing about the criminality involved.
And that's the way they play it inside the Beltway.
I suspect only Krauthammer will mention the statutory criminality of Berger's actions.
MTP and FNS look rather "interesting". This will be my first time to see and hear Obama, so I might watch MTP tomorrow morning and FNS tomorrow afternoon. I'll just skip the convention preview stuff, I'll be inundated with that pap all week long, but to avoid all the smarminess from the likes of Ron Jr., and Doris Goodwin, I'll just stick to FOX for the analysis and C-SPAN for the "wall-to-wall".
