Berger gets off too easily in review caper

More scandal by one of the leading players in the most scandal-ridden administration in our country's history. After reading this, do you think it was mere "sloppiness on the part of Good Ol' Sandy"?

Richard Clarke's silence on this matter doesn't surprise anyone, does it?

The only question remaining is: did Berger put the documents in his underwear in case they got wet if he got caught, so he could wipe them dry?

If you or I pilfered these documents, we would be in the hoosegow, that's for sure.

The Wall Street Journal actually defends the deal today, but they are basically taking the prosecutors and Berger at his word that he took them home because he wanted to work from home, and then shredded them when he realize he couldn't get them back in and didn't want to be caught.

Is that a pile of classified documents in your pants or are you just glad to see me?

[coloradan]

Berglar's claim is that he was "confused" by all these copies, and that they were "largely identical," which is why he then destroyed three of them.

But wait! If they were copies then they should have been completely identical; his admission that they were "largely identical" means there were some differences between them - such as handwritten notes in the margins, that could have been incriminating to members of the Clinton administration.

He was housecleaning.

Good ole Sandy Burgular....

[Zivasmate]

You remember the Clintonistas' modus operandi;

The non-denial denial.

[Forrestfire]

The Clintoon Kool-Aide drinker should be in jail. If that were you or I, that's where we would be.

Even worse, his security clearance has only been suspended for a short period of time.

If I knew how to use Adobe products (or could afford them) I'd have to create something with Berger's face on the McDonald's Hamburgular).

What's gotten into the Wall St.Journal since Bartley passed on?

[Zivasmate]

If the documents were all crumpled up, it may not have meant that he was glad to see her. If they were thinly folded, well, that might be another story. LOL

Till, G-d forbid, Her Majesty, appoints him a national security adviser.

What's gotten into the Wall St.Journal since Bartley passed on?

Paul Gigot, Mark Shields' former doormat on the MacNeil-Leher Report.

He should be sent down to the principal's office and expelled... You can't cheat for an upcoming exam!

"He should be sent down to the principal's office and expelled... You can't cheat for an upcoming exam!"

Does "expulsion" mean Ron Brown or Web Hubbell?

[JoeFromSidney]

Martha Stewart got six months in jail for lying to the Feds about something that wasn't a crime to begin with. Sandy Burglar got off with a slap on the wrist for lying to the Feds about something that was a very serious crime.

I'd still be in jail if I'd done what he did.

[Zivasmate]

"I'd still be in jail if I'd done what he did."

Depending on who the judge is, and if he was picked by your former (and possibly future) boss.

Sandy Berger belongs at the end of a rope. I couldn't get a day off work with excuses as lame as the ones he's given.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Expulsion means going home... But he'll probably try to get a note from dad to explain his behaviour.
