Burgler should be doing time.

[gathersnomoss]

Now if his name was Nixon he would be a crook.

[ArmedNReady]

Fat chance. He has Democratic immunity.

[Pylot]

Any mere citizen would be thrown in jail for life after they were prosecuted under the Patriot Act.

Bush looses more creditability by letting the Justice Department cut this deal with this thief.

[MizSterious]

I was dismayed that his security clearance will be suspended for only three years. If they're not going to give him jail time, they should at least (fer cryin' out loud) refuse to ever let him near sensitive material again! The man is a menace.

(And I'm sure everyone is here is, like me, simply SHOCKED that it wasn't "inadvertant"--NOT!)

I'm surprised the Burglar King admitted to ANYTHING. He still would have been let off easy by our co-opted judicial system.

Well, maybe in addition to the slap on the wrist he received, he would have had to wear an ankle bracelet for 10 days if he hadn't fessed up to at least something.

That is, if they could fit one around his ankle.

His admission kept him out of jail.

This way he cannot be pleading his innocence.

[WmShirerAdmirer]

I wonder which TV Network will be the first to interview this lying "Clinton devotee and protector" S-- for his view and opinion on the next US foreign affair or event.

[rollo tomasi]

Pres. Bush's "prosecutors": "Don't worry Sandy, will make sure it's only a misdemeanor it you cop a plea, would not want to ruin the integrity of the Executive Branch".

The prAna Recon Stretch Pant begs to be worn to the crag on cool days. The robust Recon Stretch Pant's heavyweight 11 oz. Bedford corduroy construction is blended with 2% lycra to give it a slight stretch, plenty for a scramble approach or a tricky move. Ergonomic front and lower leg panels and an asymmetrical rear pocket add style, while a zip fly, brass rivets, and quick-release belt system finish it off.

What happened to all of the Watergate burglars? What were some of their sentences?

Sandy Burglar should be doing hard time as well! His crimes could have affected an election, too. If prison time was good enough for Watergater's, then it's good enough for him as well. WHEN IS OUR SIDE GOING TO STAND UP? (Sorry for shouting, but this angers me!) This was more than saving Clinton's legacy. This was a serious crime!!!!!

[conservativeharleyguy]

My lord, that's a frightening picture!!

She had to have been pregnant.

There's no other way anyone would have married her looking like that (especially not a skirt-chasing swine like him).

She was probably already headed towards "default*" lesbianism (*in my experience, most real-life lesbians [as opposed to Playboy Channel lesbians] are so ugly and nasty that they had to default because no man will have them).

Bill certainly looks like his "gin blossom" nose is already developing.

As to Sandy Berger.

He was always a marginally qualified sycophant, who would do anything of BC's bidding.

That he would knowingly destroy classified documents only serves to reinforce Gary Aldrich's longstanding assertions of the whole lot of them.

That he would now admit it leads one to the reasonable belief that he knew in advance that if caught, certain influential people would cover for him.

That certainly sounds like conspiracy to me.

Soldier of Fortune magazine did a very nice expose on Mr. Berger while they were still in office. If you can find the old back-issue, it makes for some enlightening reading.

Berger is the embodiment of a "C-student" in a Grade-A job.

[catpuppy]

Martha Stewart goes to the slammer for telling a lie about a crime for which she was not charged, prosecutors having lacked sufficient evidence. Berger walks for stealing classified documents, evidence of his crimes being plentiful and airtight. Something ain't right.

[thegreatbeast]

In earlier posts here a number of posters thought that such a deal signified the fact that Berger rolled over on someone else. I think that's wrong. This is just another example of the Bush administration not wanting to stir up the pot for some reason. Drives me crazy.

[mabelkitty]

My gut tells me he sang like a canary.
Bush will get anything he wants this session, cuz he got the goods on folks up for re-election in '06 and folks with White House aspirations in '08.

[Wurlitzer]

We are no longer a government of and by the people. Both sides of the aisle think the laws are only for the "little people".

There is a character flaw in MOST people in elected office in that they believe they know better what is good for us and therefore they are exempt from many of our laws.

3 years???? Get real. Who would trust this person to ever handle sensitive documents?

[Phlap]

As long as his "motives remain some what of a myestry" a quote from the NY Times story reporting the plea deal, he should get the maxium sentence.

The silence of the democrats on this will be deafening to be sure but as long as the Pope dies soon no one will notice.

[AD from SpringBay]

These terms must be accepted by a judge before they are final...

This has been turning out so well lately. A judge gets to approve the terms. How nice.

[mombonn]

Because there were some facts out there that were so damning, Sandy Berger was willing to break the law to make sure the public never saw them.

Repeated for emphasis. clintbilly and company sold out this country.

We reap what we sow - I hope to see their crop come in.

[DCPatriot]

A 3 year SUSPENSION of his security clearance??

"SUSPENSION"?

And Martha Stewart went to jail for telling a lie.
