Listen to Rush… (...roll clips of "the Pants Twins" backpedaling in an effort to cover up the theft)
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Last night, Sandy Berger spoke to reporters in Washington about the controversy surrounding the secret documents he stuffed in his pants and took from the National Archive for use of the 9/11 Commission's investigation. Here is a portion of what he said. BERGER: Last year when I was in the archives reviewing documents I made an honest mistake. It is one that I deeply regret. I dealt with this issue in October 2003 fully and completely. Everything that I have done all along in this process has been for the purpose of aiding and supporting the work of the 9/11 commission. And any suggestion to the contrary is simply absolutely wrong.
RUSH: He made five trips to the National Archives. He took documents out a couple times. One document in particular, it has to do with the after-action report -- and I think it's time, you know? Let's just cut to the chase here. What did he take? That document needs to be released. We need to know what he took out of there. I'll tell you why I'm curious. He went in there "on behalf of the Clinton administration," and that means he went in there on behalf of Bill Clinton. I think Bill Clinton told him what to go in there and look for because these guys know what's in there. The fact that something is missing, knowing how we know the Clinton administration and its respect for the law, I am suspicious that what's gone was something that's damning to the Clinton administration when it comes to their lack of preparedness to deal with terrorist actions, particularly with Al-Qaeda in the country.
Now, I could be wrong. Of course I could be wrong. It's highly unlikely. I seldom am. I am wrong so inseldomly that when I am wrong I'm proud to admit it. It doesn't happen very much. But this is highly suspicious, so cut to the chase here: What did he take? "Well, Rush, it's classified. It's really secret." Well, let's give us some idea of what it is here, and then we can find out why. When we know what it is that's missing for sure, we will know why he was sent in there to get it and we will know why it is missing. Now, in Denver (story) signing his book at a book tour, Clinton had this to say about the controversy surrounding his foreman aide, Sandy Burglar.
CLINTON: I believe his explanation. He did a fabulous job against terrorism. All those records were documented and the only question involved what we did in the lead up to the millennium where we had no terrorist incidents and we prevented a lot of them. So I think that, you know, he just cooperated, said he's going to do it, but that man worked his heart out for eight years, and he was there for, you know, all day, 10:12 hours, four days in a row, and he said what happened, and I have no reason not to believe him.
RUSH: Well, that's not all Clinton said. He said (laughing) yeah, we were all laughing about it here. Well, people don't know Sandy might find it hard to believe but all of us who have been in his office have found him buried beneath papers, I mean the guy is just a slob, he's just a mess, and we all laughed about this. I wish I knew who leaked it, that's the interesting thing to me, it's interesting timing. I feel terrible for Sandy out there but I just believe his explanation because I know how much he cared about this terrorism business. Terrorism business? I mean he worked harder than anybody -- how often we hear that phrase, I'm telling you, folks, we hear Clinton say, he worked so hard, I mean worked his heart out for eight years. I never worked harder in my life than trying to get that middle-class tax cut, but I just can't do it, there's just no money for it, we just can't afford it. Any time I hear that phrase, I think "cover-up." I think Mack McLarty. I think Web Hubbell. You go back. We can't get rid of this administration, and every time something comes up with this administration, it has always involved pants. It's always something to do with below the waist. It's just - it's uncanny. We have one more bite from Clinton. This is again at his book signing in Denver.
CLINTON: Well, it's an interesting timing. The innocent explanation is the most likely one, particularly give and the facts involved. And I know him, he's a good man, he's worked his heart out for this country and did everything he could to protect it. So I'm confident he'll be fine.
RUSH: It's not about him right now. It's about what the document said and why it was taken out of there. This guy was the head of the National Security Agency. He knows the rules. There were witnesses to him stuffing the stuff in his pants, by the way. They're out there trying to say, "He didn't do that. This is all a bunch of old wives tales," but they are witnesses to it who saw it. This is really closely guarded stuff. There are people watching you when you are in the National Archives with classified documents. He goes in there five times. He took something out. We got a pretty good idea what it is. We'd like to know what it is. We'd like to see this document released, and just like the 9/11 Commission Democrats kept having a conniption fit over that August 6 PDB, presidential daily brief. Those were never released. They never are, but the White House relented to quell the controversy.
We really do need to go back to calling this "the Party of Clinton," folks. John Kerry is not even a factor here. This is the party of Bill Clinton. We need to make character an issue. Is Kerry going to run on this mantle? Classified information was secretly removed from the archives in likely violation of federal law, and what's Bill Clinton doing but laughing about it. Is John Kerry laughing about it, too? Is he prepared to swear to uphold the law should he become president? Look it, Clinton's laughing. Let's consider the source. The law never meant much to him anyway -- and let's face it, what Berger did is nothing compared to what Clinton did. Clinton saw to it that the ChiComs got nuke and missile technology from us via contributors of his. Now he's a character witness for Berger and laughing at the law? Well, that's really a great character witness. About the only thing Clinton can help us here is that he, too, had his own pants problem, he's an expert so maybe he can tell us what Berger was doing in there.
END TRANSCRIPT
What I love about Rush!
One wonders what Clinton might have smuggled out of the White House in his shorts.
Lucky-to-have-only-been-Impeached before the 911 Commission
with his Document-Procurer-on-Loan-to-Kerry Sandy-(the)-NSA-Burglar:
[quietly, fuming, out of the side of his mouth]
"Sandy, are you absolutely d@amn positively certain you took
each and every one of the important classified documents?
Sandy, if you f&ck up, she will put us both into Fort Marcy Park."
"Innocent mistakes" would put the janitor in the slammer!
"See dear? No interns, just innocent classified documents."
My foot
Notice that with the Clinton crowd things that belong in their pants don't stay there and things that don't belong in their pants manage to get in.
Teresa Kerry (disguised) then handing off Berger-Burglar's materials to Candidate-Contender Kerry
I just saw Kerry on tv, telling Tom Brokaw that he did not know that Sandy Burglar was under investigation. This guy expects W to divine when, where, and how a terrorist is going to hit, but doesn't know what's going on in his own camp.
Imagine how many documents Hillary could get in her Ol' Crusty!
LMAO
"Innocent mistakes" would put the janitor in the slammer!
To put this in it's proper perspective one only needs to
consider the outrage, the vituperous vitriol, the roars of
"INDEPENDENT PROSECUTOR!",
had Condoleeza Rice been caught in this situation!
Oh the cries for justice!
Do you suppose the left would have accepted George Bush saying,"I know Condi, she may have advertently walked out
with some documents in her panties but what the heck, it's not important.
What's important is who leaked this before the New York Convention". ?????
What do you suppose the media would say upon hearing George Bush say something like, 'Yeah we heard and we all laughed about it'?
"Imagine how many documents Hillary could get in her Ol' Crusty!"
I bet she could easily fit 900 FBI files in there,
with enough room left over to house a family of 4.
Priceless stuff.
If only the media would admit it...
National Security? What's that?
