Classified slapstick
New details on Sandy Berger's follies in the National Archives:
Berger removed a total of five copies of the same document without authorization and later used scissors to destroy three before placing them in his office trash ...Three words: National. Security. Adviser.
... one archives official claimed to have seen Berger fiddling with what appeared to be a piece of paper "rolled around his ankle and underneath his pant leg," Berger told investigators he was merely pulling up his socks, which he said "frequently fall down." He said "this story was absurd and embarrassing."
