The answer seems, well, elementary.  But Kerry and his surrogates are in fact blaming Bush.  The timing, you know, it's all about the timing.  The timing is so political.  According to Kerry et al, uber breaches of national security should come without the added bonus of political humiliation.  Somehow, the theft (and destruction) of every known copy of a report that is hypercritical of his boss right before a federal commission interviews said boss is of no import.  The squelching of the most top secret information for political gain should, well, be brushed under the rug.  The carrying around of said documents like spare toilet paper is no big deal.  In fact, it was Bush who made Berger do it.  A seance at the White House was conducted, I'm sure, to invigorate Sandy Berger's being with the spirit of Lee Atwater, in an attempt to humiliate yet another Massachusetts liberal.  It all makes perfect sense in the la la land of Democratic politics where Kerry and Edwards are the new Sonny and Cher. 

Upon discussing zippergate with a friend last night, the conversation turned to how exactly one "incidentally" or "accidentally" inserts documents in one's pants.  The more you think about it, the odder the thought becomes.  So a trial experiment was conducted.  Documents were on the table, and a trial insertion was successfully attempted.  In fairness, it looked damned funny.  To imagine the guy who used to have Condoleeza Rice's job do it, though, wasn't funny - it was alarming.  And his denials! Plausible deniability from the national security advisor regarding classified documents? Hardly.  I'm an attorney.  There are certain things you can't claim ignorance on once you achieve a certain level of expertise.  For instance, I can never plausibly say I didn't know the law.  I should know better.  Sandy Berger cannot say he didn't know he wasn't supposed to stuff classified documents in his classified areas.  He certainly should know better.  

This is bigger than anyone thinks.  Just stay tuned.
