I agree. Not to get you more angry, had Berger been a Republican and/or in any of the Bush Cabinets, what do you think the punishment would have been?
Don't know, but judging from the punishment Rpublicans have endured for Watergate, ie, over 30 years of constant "Watergate; Watergate; Watergate" reminders, a Republican version of Sandy Burglar seeing the light of day again, would be measured in decades...
If Berger was a Republican, doubt if the punishment would have been much worse. But we'd hear about it endlessly in the MSM as "Berglargate".
