Trousergate II, the Democrats
Sandy Berger is accused of a serious offense, that of stealing top-secret documents. One would hope that the Democrats would at least be concerned. Someone, somewhere, would at least acknowledge the seriousness of the offense. What do we have? Silence. Unfortunately, a careless attitude was characteristic of the Clinton Administration, see appalling examples here.
One can only imagine the consequences if Condolezza Rice was caught in such a situation. We know what would happen. But what is not so obvious is how Republicans would react. Does anyone doubt that they would take the matter seriously? They would be in the forefront expressing concern as to the substance of the charges. But the only thing the Democrats talk about is the "suspicious timing" of the leak. That's all they seem to care about. If any Democrat has said one word about the substance of the charges and that he takes the matter seriously I have yet to read about it.
They don't care about al Qaeda either
Not only don't the Democrats care about classified documents, they don't care about al Qaeda either. Hugh Hewitt is at the convention and tested the delegates on his radio show.
I played a game on the radio show yesterday, the convention's first day. We played a version of Groucho Marx's "secret word." We were prepared to declare a winner when the first Democrat I interviewed mentioned al-Qaida. None did. It just isn't an issue with them. The consensus seems to be that if Bush is beaten, al-Qaida will no longer threaten Americans.
