Its just hillarious

Yes folks, in an attempt to point out how serious national security is to Bill Clinton, he's weighed in on Sandy Berger's behalf:

Bill Clinton defended his embattled national security adviser Tuesday as a man who "always got things right," even if his desk was a mess.

"We were all laughing about it on the way over here," the former president said of the investigation into Samuel "Sandy" Berger on classified terrorism documents missing from the National Archives. "People who don't know him might find it hard to believe. But ... all of us who've been in his office have always found him buried beneath papers."

Well goodie. And one must assume, Mr. Clinton, that he also wandered the halls with classified material in his socks in order to further entertain you.

Clinton said he has known about the federal probe of Berger's actions for several months, calling this week's news a "nonstory."

"I wish I knew who leaked it. It's interesting timing," he added.

Perhaps, but even more interesting to me is Clinton's cavalier toss-off of security matters. Of course this is the guy who left the aide with the nuclear football to walk back to the White House one time, so it shouldn't come as that much of a surprise.
