GOP's latest Foley diversion: Sandy Berger

The GOP spin machine knows no bounds. In the wake of the Mark Foley Sex Scandal, it's diversion time - a play that the American public should be all too familiar with by now. Hopefully, voters will read this play and drop the GOP for a loss in the backfield on November 7.

The latest pathetic attempt to fire up the base?

Wait for it...

Wait for it...

Clinton, of course! Don't you know the rules by now?

This time, it's a three-year old story of President Clinton's National Security Advisor, Sandy Berger, who evidently took a some classified documents from the National Archives in 2003. He pleaded guilty in federal court to one charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified material and was fined $50,000. More on the story Here.

Of course, GOP shill Matt Drudge had it as one of his top headlines this evening. What a surprise.

I don't know whether to laugh or get totally enraged by this story. Yes, Berger shouldn't have done it. He pleaded guilty and paid a whompin' ass fine.

It's just amazing what the GOP will do to hold on to power. I wonder if there is anything from the Carter or Johnson administrations that need investigating? Or, perhaps we can beat the Clinton drum for another 3 1/2 weeks?

Buckle up, people - a desperate party about to lose power is an ugly thing, and there really aren't many things these people won't do.

If voters don't turn away the Republicans in droves, I will probably just about completely lose faith in our political system.
