You do have to wonder
Talking Points Memo: by Joshua Micah Marshall: July 18, 2004 - July 24, 2004 Archives
Stupidity and clumsiness in high places - hardly limited to Bush et al. As Josh Marshall said:
In the days ahead I have to imagine that a lot of Democrats -- and not happily -- are going to be asking this question: Why didn't Sandy Berger step aside from his advisory position for John Kerry some time ago?
Set aside all the outstanding questions that will be churned over in the coming days, and consider the following ...
1) At a minimum Berger did something that was quite embarrassing for a man of his standing.
2) No one disputes that there is an FBI investigation and that there has been one for months.
3) Republicans, not to mention Democrats, aren't above a well-timed leak to maximize political damage against their opponents. All the more so since this is virtually the signature of the Ashcroft Justice Department.
