Whole different thing .This is Kerry himself .You really think he'd take a shot like that , on a stage full of cameras and hands ? He'd risk everything he ever did , bring down the ENTIRE Dem (commie ) party in full blown disgrace live on TV in front of the world, risk getting caught with the goods RIGHT IN HIS HANDS!! hoping to God that no one saw him take it backstage and put it in his jacket , hoping to God that no one would see him pull it out at just the right angle to cover it ? Really out there man . He was real prepped and he played Bush and I cant believe Bush allowed him to do that ..I'm still sick over it and at a loss to explain what happened..

Sandy Berger walked out of a government office with classified documents stuffed in his pants. You would think that would have meant total ruin for him, but he's still on the Kerry campaign!

Kerry's people spun it as "He was only an informal adviser" - not explaining the "informality" of a person who was set to give a major speech for Kerry at the DNC convention. Also spun was that it was a Republican leak - but that would have occured after the convention.

The press dutifully bought the "informal" line, the lines about "only copies" and such. It was a pre-convetion dump by his own people.

Interestingly, Kerry might not have known about the investigation that had been going on since 2003. Bill Clinton knew about it - what does it say if he didn't warn Kerry?
