...The Democrats now repine over a Republican "culture of corruption." Well, it did not start with the Republicans. I can find no historic parallel for what [Sandy] Berger did at the National Archives, and he got off with a misdemeanor. From this week's congressional report it appears to me that he stole documents, possibly destroyed them, and apparently corrupted Archives officials and officials in the Justice Department. Cultures of corruption have a way of spreading. When I read of Sen. Hillary Clinton's run for the White House I wonder, do the Democrats want to go through this degraded debate all over again?... In an important "Lest We Forget" kind of column, R. Emmett Tyrrell revisits the incredible, audacious (but to the MSM, non-scandal) of Sandy Berger's criminality.
