This should be a big story. Think it will be?

Hillary Clinton has hired Sandy Berger as a foreign policy advisor. I guess we’re all supposed to have forgotten what he did by now. And his security clearance can be restored soon, too. I commented (ranted, actually) about Sandy Berger more than three years ago.

Jim at Parkway Rest Stop won’t be voting for Hillary because of it. I consider it an absolutely valid reason. As far as I’m concerned, it’s grounds for restricting Hillary’s access to classified information.

It’s not the reason I won’t be voting for Hillary, although it would be, if I hadn’t made that decision (about Democrats, not specifically Hillary) three years ago, too. It means that I sometimes leave a lot of empty spaces on ballots, given where I live.
