White House Email Follies

Presto Vivace forwards a link detailing a recent House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform hearing on the White House missing emails mess. David Gewirtz's report, carried in OutlookPower and DominoPower (in 6 parts, keep clicking), makes for scary reading. "If, in fact, the bulk of the White House email records are now stored in bundles of rotting PST files, all at or above their maximum safe load-level, that ain't good in a very big way... I object to using the inaccurate and inflated claim of excessive cost as a reason to avoid compliance with the Presidential Records Act."

Someone just needs to 'leak' that one of those archived emails contains a transcript of Osama bin Laden endorsing Barack Obama for president.

Nah, OBL will just release another video tape before the election endorsing Barack Obama (or Hillary) so John McCain can win. You know, you always help out your friends. Although, as another idea, why hasn't OBL released a "greatest hits" video? He surely has enough material by now.
