Some of the more paranoid lefties were suggesting last week that the scandal about Sandy Berger pilfering documents at the National Archives was an attempt by the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy to distract attention from Republican scandals. It looks like it worked. As far as I know, not one of the blogs on my blogroll noticed that last Thursday was the one-year anniversary of the 101st Airborne Division's brutal murder of Uday and Qusay Hussein. Poor Uday was already partly crippled by a previous attempt on his life by his fellow Iraqis, but this physical handicap did not deter him from taking an active role in his father's regime.
