Disgraced former national security adviser Sandy Berger has signed on as an advisor to the hit ABC TV show "Commander in Chief," where he joins fellow Clintonistas Capricia Marshall and Steve Cohen. | But the show has nothing to do with Hillary |
The New York Daily News reports that Berger's new job comes as "Hillary operatives" continue to monitor the show about America's first female president "as a barometer of how she might fare in '08." | Monitor? Hell, they write the scripts! |
"So far, it's doing really well," a Clinton source tells the News.
In April, Berger pled guilty to stealing and destroying top-secret national security documents from the National Archives while helping Mr. Clinton cover up prepare for his testimony before the 9/11 Commission. He was sentenced on Sept. 8 to two years' probation and fined $50,000.
Just two days later, however, Berger was in legal hot water again after Virginia highway cops clocked him doing 88 miles per hour in a 55-mph zone. He was charged with reckless driving, a Class 1 misdemeanor that carries a penalty of up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. | Not that he'll do any time |
Mr. Cohen was Mrs. Clinton's communications director. He joined the Clinton camp in 1991 to help with Mr. Clinton's first presidential campaign. Ms. Marshall served as social secretary for the Clinton White House and continues to meet with Hillary regularly before passing on her orders advice to ABC producers. |
