Who's the bigger threat -- Berger or Shelby?

Many of you will recall the massive flap a few weeks ago about Sandy Berger stuffing his pants with classified documents.  But I wonder if the SCLM will make as big a fuss about Richard Shelby (R-AL), the erstwhile chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee?

Shelby, you may recall, did a Zell back in 1993-94 before finally making his GOoPer status official after the Gingrich takeover.  Since then, he has made intelligence his bailiwick.  Which is why it is good to know that he LEAKED classified information to his friends at CNN and Faux News -- so reassuring that he is only leaking to those he trusts.

Mark my words, without the blogosphere this will get fewer column inches than Berger did.
