Just for fun. What if Karl Rove had removed classified documents?

[From The Deer Stand]

Now that Sandy Berger has been almost given a pass for his "activities" ... what if Karl Rove (or some other Bush Administration official) would have done what Sandy did? How would the mainstream media react? How would Hillary react? How would Reid and Pelosi react? How would Kennedy react? How would Dean react?

[dighton]

How would [the usual gang of idiots] react?

They’d rethink their opposition to capital punishment.

[ravingnutter]

He'd be so far behind bars they'd have to pipe air in to him.

[unkus]

They would want a "Green Mile" end to him.

[Wormwood]

HOLY CRAP! Seriously, I just laughed so much I nearly choked to death on my coffee.

[Spok]

It would get more front page coverage than the war in Iraq, and the MSM would still be writing stories about it decades after he's dead and buried. (Ever notice how they just can't let President Nixon rest in peace?)

[yobid]

I wanna know why:

Sandy Berger
William Jefferson
Ted Kennedy
Bill Clinton
Hillary Rodham
Janet Reno
Valery Plame
Joe Wilson
Harry Reid
Kofi Anon

aren't in jail?

[Theresawithanh]

There wouldn't be just a slap on the hand, which is what Berger has gotten. It would just be another example of the criminality of the illegal Bush regime to many.

[Graymatter]

And John Kerry.

[Sopater]

Berger was the National Security Advisor under Clinton. That would be the equivalent of Condi Rice or Stephen Hadley being busted for that. The MSM already hates both and has done a lot to try to ruin the political careers of both.

[PCBMan]

The MSM? They would find a way to work it into the news on a daily basis for years on end.

What if Karl Rove had removed classified documents?

He would have been indicted last May 12, of course....

[The Blitherer]

I get a headache just thinking about the screeching that would come from Dean and Pelosi.

[randog]

This is an easy one--they would have reacted the same way they did when they supposed Karl talked to a reporter about a certain CIA employee.

[Ilky Hucktar]

He'd be so far behind bars his soup would always get cold before it got to him.

[unkus]

You mean his thimble of water and very stale bread.

[nothingnew]

It seems nobody understands bad cop/good cop anymore. All you see, hear, witness by both (one) parties is quid pro quo. Right now, the dems are coming back to the top...wait a few years and it will be reversed, no thanks to what us "peeps" want or "vote" for.

Study history......there's a lot of, uhm, history there.

Take care of yourselves and your families as best you can, stay in touch with Him, and have a Merry Christmas.

Oh, the rhetoric and press coverage would be frenetic but so far as actually doing anything goes, I doubt it. The Important Person Rule would kick in. Important people don't want to call important people to account in case their own turn comes around.

See the Bush response to the Clinton savaging of the White House or Selling of Pardons as examples.

[Graymatter]

George Bush would be impeached. Plus Dick Cheney and however many GOP senators it took to make Nancy Pelosi president.
