Berger and donuts

I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that once this whole Sandy Berger National Archives thing blows over it won't have amounted to a hill of beans. Here's a tiny snippet from CNN:

Law enforcement sources said archive staff members told FBI agents they saw Berger placing items in his jacket and pants, and one archive staffer told agents that Berger also placed something in his socks.

Really. A former National Security Advisor was stuffing documents in his socks. Think about that for a second. In. His. Socks. Do you know anyone over six years old who's likely to have done something like that? In his socks. Remember, that text is from CNN, not "The Daily Show" or "The Onion." In his socks. Dear Lord, please tell me no one is taking this story seriously. If you heard a story about Condoleeza Rice storing PDBs in her brassiere would you believe them? I didn't think so.

Remember those stories about how Clinton staffers had supposedly vandalized the White House before departing? Well, those were crap. So's this story. File it accordingly.
