Welcome to Free Republic and your reply has some critical issues in it.
"What motivated Blather and crew to break those memos is beyond sanity. Did desperate times, such as the polls that they seem to live and die by, lead them to desperate measures. Was it arrogance that they could drop some bombshell hoping to discredit President Bush and that the other news organizations would follow suit and march to the beat like faithful liberal media types do? Was it sheer stupidity?"
I think that it was arrogance combined with desperation to help Kerry and their own sinking ship. This may be the beginning of the swan song for Blather, 60 minutes and C BS NOTNEWS posing as news.
"Maybe its a conspiracy theory, but I find there is an odd coincidence with the timing of Begala and Carville being added to the Kerry lineup. My half-baked theory is that the Klinton Kamp are using those two to sabotage the Kerry Kampaign from inside. Could Hillary really make a run in 2008 if Kerry/Edwards were the incumbants? Is there no honor among democrats (thieves)."
If Kerry gets Mondaled, that will be the end of the Kennedy Camelot bs even by proxy. Teddy's liver will give out on him before 2008. Ma Ma T Rex will invoke her bullet proof pre nups on Lurch after he is defeated. He will retire to Jamica to teach surfboarding on snow trails.
Then, we will have a battle between liberals like Zell and the Hildebea$t for control of the rat party. I don't think that the Clintoons have a lock on the party, and they could get blamed for Kerry's Mondale 2 act.
I haven't seen anyone yet come up with the most complete explanation for the transmission trail of the memos to CBS: these highly sensitive documents, obviously authentic, were already in Clinton possession in the late '90s for possible use in the 2000 campaign. Algore's ingratitude to Bill Clinton dictated that the memos would not be used then, so they were kept on ice for Hillary's 2004 campaign. Unfortunately, they were inadvertently stored away with all the other top-secret national security files when the Clintonlites left the White House, so Sandy Berger was dispatched (under the pretext of helping the 9/11 Commission's work) to rescue these and other important files from the National Archives! Wonder what other goodies Sandy Burglar had stuffed in his underwear????
