Internal Clinton Memos Coming Soon
According to The Washington Post, former Clinton campaign heavyweights are in a tizzy over internal campaign memos that the Atlantic Monthly has somehow obtained. The magazine obtained nearly 200 internal memos, 130 of which they plan to publish.
When the piece is published sometime next week, readers will be able to scroll through the memos, from senior strategists such as Mark Penn, Harold Ickes and Geoff Garin, and see what exactly was going on inside the infamously fractured Clinton organization. That has some former team members in a panic.
We’ll see just how ‘unified’ the Democratic Party is when the public gets to read what Clinton’s crew really think about Barack Obama A.K.A. The One A.K.A. The Messiah A.K.A. Change we can f*cking believe in.
Clinton Advisor Howard Wolfson Joins Fox News
Hillary Clinton’s top political guru, Howard Wolfson, is joining the Fox News channel as a democratic analyst according to the Washington Post.
Wolfson said this about his new job:
“Fox has the largest audience in cable television — many of its viewers are independents who will help decide the next election,” said Wolfson of his decision. “It’s critically important for strong progressives to be talking to and offering analysis to that audience.”
Fox now has Karl Rove, Lanny Davis, and now Howard Wolfson. All the best talent ends up at Fox because they’re the only ones not shilling for Obama 24/7.
Sandy “Document Thief” Berger Becomes Hillary Campaign Advisor
Sandy Berger, who stole highly classified terrorism documents from the National Archives, destroyed them and lied to investigators, is now an adviser to presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton. Berger, who was fired from John Kerry’s presidential campaign when the scandal broke in 2004, has assumed a similar role in Clinton’s campaign, even though his security clearance has been suspended until September 2008.
“It shows poor judgment and a lack of regard for Berger’s serious misdeeds,” said law professor Jonathan Adler of Case Western Reserve University, who nonetheless called Clinton “by far the most impressive candidate in the Democratic field.”
He added: “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.”
Democrats seem to have a fuzzy memory when it comes to Berger. His actions were so outrageous that it defies belief that he is not sitting in a prison cell for about 15 years.
Berger has admitted stealing documents from the National Archives in advance of the 9/11 Commission hearings in 2003. The documents, written by White House counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke.
Berger stuffed highly classified documents into his pants and socks before spiriting them out of the Archives building in Washington, according to investigators. On one occasion, upon reaching the street, he hid documents under a construction trailer after checking the windows of the Archives and Justice Department buildings to make sure he was not being watched.
He came back later and retrieved the documents, taking them home and cutting them up with scissors.
Berger also lied to the public, telling reporters he made an “honest mistake” by “inadvertently” taking the documents, which he blamed on his own “sloppiness.” Bill Clinton vouched for the explanation for Berger, who served as his national security adviser.
If you remember there was a certain public outrage on the part of liberals when President Bush commuted the prison sentence for Scooter Libby, but an eerie silence when Berger only received probation. Democrats love to expose alleged “cover-ups” on the part of Republicans, but they had one in there own backyard that dwarfs anything the Bush Administration has been accused of.
The Democrats are so steeped in hypocrisy it makes it difficult to keep a straight face when Nancy Pelosi talks about a “culture of corruption.”
