And working for Hillary Clinton. Could you imagine the outrage if someone with his record were working for a GOP candidate?

Republican lawmakers blasted Sen. Hillary Clinton Monday after learning that the campaign is taking advice from Sandy Berger, a former top aide to President Bill Clinton who admitted stealing classified documents and disposing them.

Berger was Clinton's national security adviser from 1997 until 2001. In 2003, while preparing for the 9/11 commission hearings, he took copies of secret documents from the National Archives and later destroyed them. He was caught a few days after absconding with papers from the archive's College Park, Md., facility, and lied to investigators.

The New York Democrat's campaign downplayed the fact, saying Monday that Berger is an informal, unpaid adviser to the campaign, something ascribed to many people associated with the campaign. Berger has been a longtime friend of both Clintons.

"He has no official role in the campaign," spokesman Blake Zeff said.

Will the Democrats be so forgiving if Tom DeLay becomes an unpaid adviser to a GOP candidate -- especially since he has not been found guilty of anything, and certainly not of obstructing an investigation into how the Clinton Administration left America unprepared for 9/11 when it slithered out of Washington.

I'd be outraged at the lapse of judgment on Senator Clinton's part, were it not for the fact that we already were aware how poor her judgment really is. After all, she married -- and remains married to -- Bill Clinton.
