Thousands of White House E-mails Deleted
kidcharles writes "The Washington Post reports that in the midst of an investigation by the U.S. Congress into the firing of eight U.S. Attorneys by the Department of Justice, numerous White House e-mails have been lost. Among them are communications from presidential adviser Karl Rove. Parallels are being drawn with the infamous '18 minutes' missing from the Nixon Watergate tapes. Also at issue is the use of Republican National Committee e-mail domains (such as gwb43.com and georgewbush.com) rather than the official White House domain. This is a violation of the Presidential Records Act."
We all know e-mails are never really deleted. They just hide a little bit harder.
Begin the left-wing conspiracy. This, Imus and Anna Nicole's baby are all I'm going to be hearing about for the next few weeks. Damn.
From Crooks And Liars:
This one's a no-brainer.
The NSA has been monitoring and logging all US domestic phone and email traffic for a few years now, thanks to Bush and Cheney.
So subpoena the "lost" WH emails from the NSA. Put the domestic spying operation to some practical use.
If they don't have the emails, they aren't doing their job, and it will be time to get rid of the NSA.

I hope this helps the Federal criminal prosecution of the world's largest crime syndicate.

He didn't get a blowjob. He needs one direly, but he didn't get one. No blowjob, no impeachment.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
gwb43.com? WTF is that - his IQ?
(Sorry, a little too easy.)
Wouldn't it be ironic if their ISP was retaining their email?
"nothing can ever be truly deleted?"
Really? Great! Could you get back my Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet from 1987? I've been looking for that sucker forever.
Where have you been the past 5 years? Cheney has been President for years. To quote Robin Williams: "Ever notice that W doesn't speak when Cheney is drinking water?"
You forgot...
8. ???
9. Profit!
I have actively avoided owning a firearm because, in all truthiness, there are too many people whom I should have a legitimate right to shoot--and I'm not convinced that I wouldn't have at some points in the past.
Right now I'm homeless. If I owned a gun the police would've taken it long ago and probably made me a felon for carrying it.

no just that the previous 42 versions of gwb turns out to be failures. May be gwb.v44.RC1 would be better?
Nixon had NOTHING on the current thugs in the White House administration.
If it gets any worse we're going to have to dig up Nixon and apologize. He's starting to look almost saintly by comparison.

Say what you want about Bush, but Ronald Reagan was a patriot and a great American. In fact, a substantial portion of the American public considers Reagan to be among the best five presidents thus far and perhaps the greatest to serve within their living memory. You tarnish the legacy of a great and noble man when you use him as a pawn in your petty arguments.

Homeless (with a slashdot account, no less) and emotionally unstable.
Yup, you're a democrat.
A huge number of people think the universe was created by an invisible, alternately compassionate and vengeful, space fairy. A very large fraction of Americans believe the world was inundated with water and a man sailed around in a boat full of animals. Quite a lot of people think Baywatch is a good TV show.
Yup, you're a democrat. No he's a Perl developer....

Aha! ;)
So if the attorney firings were partisan political actions then it WAS appropriate to use personal email accounts!
Hence their disappearance.
the best argument against impeaching Bush is "President Cheney".
Hell no, and I'll tell you why: He just doesn' have the patience (or stupidity, take your pick) for the job. As a "go-to" guy who operates behind the scenes and gets shit done, he's probably the best in the world.
But, doing press conferences, diplomatic trips, all the usual banal crap the Prez has to do on a daily basis, I think would either drive him towards his final heart attack or a murder spree in the West Wing.
So yeah,bring on President Dick. He'll stab an intern through the heart with a fork before his first week is done.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
Jesus christ, did you even read the fucking quote? It's right there in print. A Bush justice department official telling the Wall Street Journal nothing was permanently lost, and there was no evidence of a conspiracy. What the fuck more do you want? Cheney singing it in verse on Limbaugh?
And btw, hah. You know you've won the argument when the other side starts trotting out grievances dating back to the Civil War.
I think there is a world market for maybe five personal web logs.
It surprises the hell out of me because one of the reasons I voted for bush in 2000 were the promises that the Bush administration would bring back honesty, integrity and decency to the white house. :~(
All emails were first printed, shredded then burnt. You are not going to get any more deleted than that!
Engineering is the art of compromise.
BTW: are you calling Al Gore "obnoxious"???
I thought he was supposed to be "robotic" and "boring"! Obnoxious is a step up!

when all you had to worry about were blow jobs and firing the travel office!
No, after all they're no rocket scientists.
So, you're thinking that would stop him, or something? I mean he shot a lawyer in the face, and the lawyer apologized. How awesome is that?
