Remember Sandy Berger? This was President Clinton's former National Security Adviser that has been accused of stealing top-secret, classified 'code-word' documents from the National Archives. Code-word documents are the some of the nation's highest secrets...right up there with nuclear secrets. Mr. Berger is being accused of stealing them from the National Archives by stuffing them in his pants, his pockets, his socks, wherever he could hide them. A Justice Department inquiry is ongoing. Sandy Berger worked for The Poodle's campaign up until the story broke. Where is the story now? Swept off the front page. The reason? Berger is a Democrat....and the media believes that the story might hurt The Poodle in this year's campaign. They are sheltering him from bad publicity...he is being given a pass. It's no longer front-page news. In fact, you hardly hear about it anymore. Interesting, huh? Now comes a story of a different sort. The Washington Post is reporting that federal investigators have concluded that Senator Richard Shelby divulged classified intercepted messages to the media when he was on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. They're saying he told Fox's Carl Cameron and CNN's Dana Bash about it. The Justice Department declined to prosecute, and has referred the matter to the Senate Ethics Committee. So what's the point? Shelby is a Republican....and the worst kind to the left, he used to be a Democrat. To them, not only is he the enemy, but a traitor. Watch them nail him to the wall on this one....he won't get a single break, all because he is a Republican. Contrast what he did with what Berger did, and it's not even close. But don't tell that to the media and the Democrats, because they'll be screaming for his resignation. Is the media biased? Absolutely...need proof? Just sit back and watchboortz.com
