The Berger non story isn't going according to the con's plans

[CatWoman]

my proof?

Listened to Neal Boortz when I went to pick up lunch.

It's official, folks: THE CLINTONS leaked the news of Berger's investigation to the press!!!!

The dastardly lowlifes!!!!

How DARE they???!!??

And it's all because they don't want Kerry to win!!

[Beetwasher]

1. LOL!

Actually, the timing of the leak is NOT BAD for Kerry. It would have been worse if it happened right before the election.

All in all this is not going to affect Kerry, IMO. It will be dead by the end of the week, swept away by the 9/11 report and then the Dem convention (and perhaps the unveiling of Osama?)...

[CatWoman]

2. well, it may take a little longer to thaw Osama out

[Beetwasher]

4. Not W/ A Microwave

set to "defrost", instant distraction!

[lancdem]

7. And the source of the leak and its timing

is now an issue as much as Berger.

3. Santorum has now taken a swing at Kerry.

5. Santorum deserves a physical swing taken at him

[lancdem]

10. According to a memo released by the Kerry campaign

Santorum was one of several Repuke senators who attended a meeting Tuesday with RNC chair Ed Gillespie on this.

20. Some Repub idiot (I know, you ask which one?)...

...some senator, not Santorum, was on TV yesterday saying how the day after Sandy Berger stuffed his socks (they would know about stuffing socks), the very next day Kerry spoke about something that 'possibly could've been' in those memos, and it's 'possible' that's why Sandy Berger did that....

I kind of felt sorry for the guy...I mean if he really believes that, I supposed Santa and the Easter Bunny are good to him too...it's sad really.

[lancdem]

6. Well, the Big Dog said in his Denver Post interview

he's known about the investigation for months.

[CatWoman]

8. see??? the smoking gun!!!!!

[PROGRESSIVE1]

9. Only in the EVIL WORLD of CNN/MSGOP/FAUX/MOONIE TIMES/

GOP HATE RADIO is this getting any traction. Such respectable sources such as the NYT, Rather, and Brokow, are portraying this as another part of the long going investigation, making it clear that Sandy Berger did NOT break any laws.

11. I could be wrong

but it seems to me that they probably don't care if their non-story goes nowhere.

They got the major news channels to put out negatives against Democrats and Kerry - so that's what is important.

Tomorrow, next week, they can have more non-stories. They don't need to amount to anything. Just give the appearance that Democrats (ie "girlie men") are weak and Republicans (ie "go fuck yourself") are strong.

[lastliberalintexas]

23. Bingo!

I'm sorry to say this, but most posters on this thread are giving the public too much credit. Most folks will hear nothing more than that a Dem did something which the repubs charge harms our national security. No further analysis, no further thought, and no further investigation to see if that report is true.

The seed is planted, the Dems are bad, and that's all they need to know. Next week they will hear the next unsubstantiated, unfounded allegation lobbed at our people by the corporate media just to reinforce that the Dems are bad.

And the public can go back to watching those nice, mind-numbing reality shows and sitcoms because, as the corporate media reassures them, the repubs are protecting us.


God, I sound more like Hamilton every day. *sigh*

[iconoclastic cat]

12. Perhaps it was a preemptive leak?

No, seriously! Stop laughing!

[CatWoman]

13. LOL

maybe they need to stock up on Depends?

[iconoclastic cat]

14. Or binder clips. The little ones.

[wryter2000]

15. CBS Evening News

Last night Dan Rather was almost dripping sarcasm when reporting the Berger "story." He made it clear that this was a political ploy on the part of the Republicans.

[CatWoman]

16. yeah, I saw the thread on that

and went to cbsnews.com.

unfortunately, can't find the video

[King Coal]

18. Catwoman, did you see Pat Buchanan on Scarbhead?

He told Dee Dee Myers that it was Berger's lawyer who said Berger hid the copies in his socks. Pat tried, but he just couldn't pull it off. LOL!

[CatWoman]

21. hey, I'm a glutton for punishment as much as the other guy

but I draw the line at Scarborough.

[King Coal]

22. Don't blame you there. He is repulsive.

[bobbyboucher]

24. But you'll miss when he confesses to the Lori Klausutis murder,

can't miss that.

[JitterbugPerfume]

17. and there is

more to come

it is that damnn Clinton penis what's causing all of this

[King Coal]

19. Yeah, Berger stuck the copies in his socks because

Clinton invented sex.

[Bandit]

25. I didn't think those "Hillbilly" Clintons wore socks

Did they mean up socks' ass? Socks being the First Cat.
