Sandy Berger Is Back
Clinton arrogance is downright awe-inspiring.
Remember Sandy Berger, the Slick Willie henchman who stole and destroyed classified documents, presumably to cover up his boss's reckless insouciance regarding al-Qaeda, then lied to investigators? Though he should have been permanently retired to Leavenworth for his extremely serious crimes, he received the faintest of token wrist slaps.
As noted earlier, Burglar was barred from accessing classified materials for only three years, meaning that if Shrillary is elected in 2008, he could be right back in the National Archives, once again stuffing documents down his pants to be cut up into pieces later.
Sure enough, Berger has reemerged as an adviser to Hillary Clinton.
Gasps Case Western Reserve law professor Jonathan Adler, who regards Shrillary as "by far the most impressive candidate in the Democratic field":
It shows poor judgment and a lack of regard for Berger's serious misdeeds. [… It's] simply incomprehensible to me that a serious contender for the presidency would rely upon him as a key foreign policy advisor.
If Senator Clinton becomes the Democratic nominee, at some point she will begin to receive national security briefings that will include sensitive information. At such a point, continuing to keep Berger on board as a key advisor, where he might have access to sensitive material, would be beyond incomprehensible.
"Beyond incomprehensible" — that pretty much sums up the notion of our letting the Clintons back in the White House.
By the way, we'll never know just what information the Clintons found it so necessary to suppress:
The Justice Department initially said Berger stole only copies of classified documents and not originals. But the House Government Reform Committee later revealed that an unsupervised Berger had been given access to classified files of original, uncopied, uninventoried documents on terrorism. Several Archives officials acknowledged that Berger could have stolen any number of items and they "would never know what, if any, original documents were missing."
Bill Clinton, who most likely sent his former National Security Adviser on his illegal mission, vouched for Berger's original claim that he stole and destroyed the documents "inadvertently." I hope we can come up with a better excuse than that if we put these criminals back in power.
On a tip from Byron.

""I make a halt in day-to-day combat to bow my head, with respect and gratitude, before the exceptional fighter who fell 40 years ago," Castro wrote."
Anyone still have those quotes where Che describes his love of executions?

"Criminals," pertaining to Sandy Burglar, Hillary Clinton and her husband, Bill -- Yep, that about covers it.

Maybe some guy with a brown bag will show up on Dan Rathers doorstep and hand him the incriminating documents. Of course, since these ones would be real, Dan would say "No Thanks, I only use fake documents that attack George Bush.."

This is absolutely the worst judgment call on Hillary's part.
It reminds me of Pelosi's support for Alcee Hastings to chair the House intelligence committee. She had to back out due to criticism because of Hastings previous trouble due to his corruption.
