| A *hot* topic, lol. For the amusement of all those who've submitted Dupes of yesterday's Sandy Burglar story, here's a Follow-up / Opinion piece that's not a Dupe, at least not completely, lol. Jay gets to say much of what we're all thinking about this absurd travesty. |

Call me a right-wing paranoid – it’s been done before! – but I think that, if Sandy Berger were a conservative Republican, the story of his criminality would be a really, really big deal. Bear in mind that the man was national security adviser. Do you know about his criminality? You may read about it here. Let me provide just a taste:
In October 2003, the [inspector general’s] report said, an Archives official called Berger to discuss missing documents from his visit two days earlier. The investigator’s notes said, “Mr. Berger panicked because he realized he was caught.”
The notes said that Berger had “destroyed, cut into small pieces, three of the four documents. These were put in the trash.”
As I said, thatÂ’s just a taste.
If Berger were a Republican, the word “Nixonian” would be making a big, big comeback – at a minimum.
Remember how President Clinton and his people reacted shortly after the first news about Berger and the Archives came out? Oh, that’s just Sandy, ha, ha, ha – didn’t surprise any of us, when we heard about it. You should have seen his desk at the White House! Sloppy Sandy – ethical as the day is long, though.
Yeah, what a crock. |
