Condi Porn

In reference to this story about how former Clinton National Security Advisor Sandy Berger may have stolen classified documents by sneaking them out in his pants/jacket/socks, conservative pundits the world over have attempted to play the usual liberal media bias game, but subsituting a certain other NSA into the equation. And it seems they've all got the same general idea:

Hugh Hewitt: "If Condoleezza Rice had stuffed her blouse full of various drafts of pre- 9/11 terrorism reports, [would that] quiet a crazed White House press room?"

James Lileks: "Imagine a hidden camera snapping shots of Condi Rice slipping secret memos into her foundation garments."

New York Post editorial page: "If Condoleezza Rice were caught skulking out of the National Archives with incriminating 9/11 documents stuffed into her bra, do you think Bill Clinton and his good old boys would be sitting around yukking it up?"

Newsmax.com: "Can you only imagine the media reaction... if Condoleezza Rice, the Berger counterpart in the Bush Administration, were stuffing documents out the door in her bra?"

You get the idea. It's a natural joke to make, except none of the Berger accusations that I know of involve his underwear, and all the Condi analogies for some reason do. Seems like these guys are all awfully fascinated with Ms. Rice's undergarments, huh?
