If Nixon was a liberal, he would have left office... :yes:

That's not the point of the story.

No one is arguing the point that he's guilty. What I'm arguing is that the story is misleading in the fact that it implies he's playing a crucial role in her campaign. The article attempts to set her up by implying that she's on board w/his mistake/crime/whatever. That's not the case.

Why don't you get your news from the National Enquirer? or The Globe?

The Washington Examiner is a tabloid.

Are you denying that the Berger Story is wrong?.............not the Hillary story, the Berger Story....

and she admits that he is an advisor, not an "offical" one though...

She also admits that she  has thousands of advisers. Does that mean she takes each and every word of each and every one to heart? No.

Henry, it's a sensationalized piece of non-news.

I agree to an extent, but the thing that bothers me is the Berger incident.............forget Hillary on this.............

This has been the Biggest Non Story of the last couple of years................and if this had been....Karl Rove destroying National Archives.......you cannot deny it would STILL be on the front page....

the sad thing is it should NOT be non-news as you say...

The Hillary angle is the non-story that I'm speaking of.

As for Berger, considering this came to light during the Bush administration, do you suppose that he would have gotten off SO easily if he had been guilty of a more serious crime? If the Repubs in control at that time had thought there were more to exploit regarding his crime in reference to 9/11, terrorists and to reduce their liability of being wrong, then don't you think they would have seized the opportunity?

That's all supposition, but I'm not so sure that it wasn't played in the media long enough. I'm also not sure that it matters what the media does or doesn't. If he was guilty, which apparently he was found guilty to a certain extent, then he should be punished. Which he was. I don't know what more you'd want. Headlines? Why? Berger is old news.
