** It would be the irony of ironies if the NSA’s massive warrantless email surveillance program picked up Rove’s traffic at gwb43.com. Or maybe that traffic was put on a stop-list so NSA didn’t read it? Somebody should find out about that.

NOTE Hat tip to Xan for the headline.

UPDATE What Congress needs to do is subpoena all the mail at gwb43.com. Violations of the Presidential Records Act would be a good reason.

What the press needs to do is find the Alexander Butterfield, because there is one. Data doesn’t move from point A to point B my magic; people set up the systems to do it. A system administrator who’s knowledgeable in these private transactions would be ideal. And now you know the vendors to start with.

UPDATE On rereading this, I’m not completely clear where the RNC servers are physically located. Would a traceroute help? Readers?

This ought to ease your mind.

White House spokesman David Almacy said the outside e-mail accounts were set up to allow legitimate political activities to be conducted by appropriate staff members without using White House accounts, which would be illegal under the Hatch Act. “It was specifically set up that way so that people weren’t using their official accounts for political activities,” he said. Only certain White House staff members have such outside accounts, including those who regularly communicate with outside political groups, he said.

Now, who is Almacy, you might ask. Would it surprise you to know he worked at GovTech Solutions from 2000 until joining the WH in 2002? See. It’s all good. Who is GovTech? Well go read the damn thing. The short answer is “the guys who built the web servers and mail servers”.

Any one know how to hide the url under a word?

Aaah, for the good ol’ days, but I must concede there still are members of the Fourth Estate who take their Constitutional duties seriously, who aren’t doing an impression of Soviet-era reporters and editors at Pravda and Tass, where truth and accuracy were whatever the Communist Party said they were.

So, what happened to the ol’ Fourth Estate? Did some Commie-like totalitarians infiltrate our Fourth Estate in an attempt to establish a Commie-like one-party police state?

Similar, let’s say, to some Commie-like individuals trying to subvert our Department of Justice, completely politicizing it, turning our Department of Justice into an arm of the Commie-like one-party police state advocates?

So many clues. So many clues. Rupert Murdoch and Fox News, and Rupert building a mansion over in Red China with the blessing of the Communist leaders. Reverend Moon and the Washington Times, and Moon’s connections with the North Korean Communist leaders.

I’m usually not into conspiracies very much, but after looking at what certain people have attempted with regards to our Justice Department (Pat Robertson establishing a Law School to graduate “true believers” who are then implanted in key positions in our democratic government to promote his and the Republicans one-party rule, totalitarian agenda) I must assume that a similar infiltration strategy has been employed in relation to the Fourth Estate.

For instance, remember Jeff Gannon/Jim Guckert (JG/JG)? The guy who got his “journalism credentials” after attending a week-end-long right-wing “journalism school”? The guy who then showed up at White House press conferences, asked purely-partisan leading questions, and spent a whole lot of time in the White House with no official records kept of his arrivals and departures?

In other words, how many other JG/JG right-wingers with “journalism credentials” like his have been hired to replace fired or retired career journalists and editors, in an attempt to subvert our Fourth Estate, similarly to how they’ve tried to subvert our presumedly fair and impartial judicial system by replacing highly-professional career public servants with purely-partisan, integrity-challenged hacks…like Griffin in Arkansas?

In other words, certain Republicans over the past 30 years have schemed at replacing our representative democracy with their totalitarian, one-party-rule, Commie-like system of government, and apparently they’ve plotted to sabotage every democratic institution in our society. The judiciary. The news media. The electoral system. The U.S. Congress. The U.S. Constitution. The White House. Our republic.

Our democracy has never faced a graver threat. Our nation’s children have never been in greater danger. Our freedoms have never seen such a concerted effort at their being undermined and destroyed.

And all because certain Republicans decided that another “Nixon” wasn’t ever going to happen again. Of course, instead of embracing truth and honesty and integrity, they chose instead to plot the takeover of our democratic form of government, replacing it with one-party rule. Even Nixon wasn’t that warped and corrupt.

Tell me there isn’t a new show called “Painkiller Jane.”

I already know I’m gonna take a lot of shit for this.
