I don’t think people in the whitehouse should be allowed to use RNC computers at all. If they were fluidly moving back and forth between computers that means they weren’t doing RNC business (no matter the current Gonzo Hatch act scandal) because that means, and and of itself, that they were being paid on the taxpayers dime while conducting RNC political duties and not the duties they were elected to do for ALL the people of the U.S. This should go for whatever political party takes office. If they want to do political party chores, fine -
DO IT ON THEIR TIME, NOT THE TAXPAYERS DIME!!

I have not heard too much on that point. Even if the work by WH Staff on RNC computers were kosher, how much taxpayer time was spent on off-duty labor?

The Speaker may be thinking, ‘got him’. About Rove.

I don’t think anyone’s going to think that until he’s been sentenced.

And even then, he’s sure to be pardoned. But at least everyone would know he’s guilty.

Can the prez pardon Rove tomorrow, say for any and all acts he may commit or have committed? If I were the mover and shaker Dems, I’d get Karl, post Bush. I’m interested in justice, not politics.

Supreme Court ruled a accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. If Rove accepts a pardon then he has to admit to the specific crimes for which he admits guilt and for which he is pardoned. Better not miss any.

Also,
Plame and Wilson are suing Rove. If Rove accepts and admits to crimes then I’d bet those admissions of guilt would make the civil claim a slam dunk.

We should not be asking about the emails alone. We should be asking “who” deleted what and when did they delete it. The chain of people pointing fingers at “who” punched the delete keys under pressure would lead to a faster resolution of what can be done to recover the emails themselves.

Also, Washington Post reports that Harriet Miers ordered during her tenure as WH Counsel that all emails should be archived in hardcopy form before deleting electronically to comply with the Federal archiving laws—so maybe concentrating on the electronic record is a bit off center. There could in fact be photocopies and printouts lying around and nobody is paying attention to finding them.

Why do the time when you can re-write the crime?

Friday’s trash: Bush wants to revise FISA to expand the number of people he can spy on.

I’m genuinely surprised. There’s someone they aren’t spying on already? Bush is actually going to pretend to use FISA? That’s almost as laughable as today’s excuses for the delayed document dump. Truly, I can’t wait to see what bullshit excuses will provided in lieu of the documents due on the 16th.

But even with a conviction, he’d be back in the next Repug govt. Whole Repug party Needs a stake through the heart.

And everytime I see George W. Bush’s or Dick Cheney’s foul names, I hit the IMPEACHMENT button on my custom computer keyboard, and still nothing happens.

My computer rep told me that these special keys would work, but it looks like I’ll have to have a computer technician check it out to determine why these keys are malfunctioning. Maybe a virus got planted in my system or maybe there’s a trojan Republican hiding somewhere inside and gumming up the works?

Of course, I could send my computer up to the Democratic-controlled Congress and have them see what they can do to make my IMPEACHMENT key work properly.

Having just watched Bill Maher and listend to Scott McClellan spewing bullshit with all earnestness, I agree with you that we should just laugh out loud. We should just guffaw and squirt milk through our noses. Bill Bradley said a lot of things I agree with, but it was not the appropriate response.
