That allegation drew sharp responses from two of Berger's associates. President Clinton's former spokesman, Joe Lockhart, said Berger "categorically denies that he ever took documents and stuffed them in his socks.

Lanny Davis introduced these meme this morning, in order to be able to ridicule the whole story later.

Ignore the socks, stay focused on the felonies.

M.Thatcher, I pinged you because I'd like you to introduce the fact that Lanny Davis did this to Rush, if you'd care to. It's a shame I couldn't get the message to him quicker, because it was obvious to me what Lanny was doing the minute he did it.

I attempted to ping you but the second name was lost. Please backtrack up the thread to the message I was trying to get to you.

Laz, planting memes is an old psy-ops tactic. But the Republicans have handled this far more adroitly than I had expected.

Berger spirited the documents out last fall, but the investigation became public only a week before the Democratic Convention.

The Democrats had expected a July Surprise on the order of having Bin Laden captured. They did not expect the July Surprise to be the imminent arrest of the key emissary from the Foreign Policy Community to the Kerry campaign. They did not expect to see him get nailed for a national security/espionage-related offense that carries hard prison time for both the thief and for anyone who lacks the security clearance and the need-to-know but who reads the documents anyway.

It's become obvious that this story is developing legs. Even the Establishment Media can no longer ignore it, and soon they will no longer be able to play it down. Because it needs to blow up in full force by the day the convention opens, I expect the velocity of the unraveling to increase exponentially.

Maybe the Republicans aren't the Stupid Party anymore.

Exactly.

Clintonista MO. Put out something absurd or not true, then use it as a defense.

Suckerpunch strawman. Obfuscate and direct attention elsewhere.
