A Foreign Policy Plumber

I imagine, actually, that Sandy Berger makes an excellent enforcer. Given that he was last seen stuffing classified documents down his pants, the man isn't exactly a likelyfor an official appointment. But his longtime friendship with Hillary Clinton means he almost certainly has some personal influence, or at least access, to her and her advisors. That means, for Berger, his only chance to not be totally frozen out of policy making is to 1) see Hillary Clinton elected and 2) earn her favor. And because he knows he can't get an official position with any other campaign, his incentives are to do absolutely everything possible to ensure her victory and make himself useful. Clinton, meanwhile, won't have to give him anything tangible in return, and will disavow any official relationship with him, and so has no incentive to rein hm in. Which makes news that Berger is running around town trying to intimidate foreign policy officials rather worrisome...
