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.
McLaughlin didn't touch the issue. Surprising with Buchanan and Blankley on the panel.
> "David Brooks - the pseudo-conservative...." <
Brooks joins the likes of David Gergen, William Safire, and the senate RINO club of Snow, Collins, and Chafee as what I call "Potemkin Republicans." The reference is to the Russian Potemkin villages, false fronts set up to give the appearance of progress and prosperity when viewed at a distance, but in reality completely without substance. Chuck Hegel is another, and both McCain and Hatch are flirting with it.
