This encourages more of the same. It would not be surprising if someone was data mining so they could sell something juicy to the tabloids, but obviously operatives from one of the Democratic candidates remain a top possibility.

Me: AND before they realize that the Bush administration, being totally incompetent, could not possibly have pulled off a conspiracy such as described nearly well enough to get it past the wiser heads in the Democratic Party?

(Removing tongue from severely strained cheek)

This was a clerical screwup by contract employees giggling as they looked up info on “special ” people.

And one must always remember there is a literal plethora of holdover Clintonista’s running around almost every federal agency. Their actions have perhaps been the greatest source of information, gossip, rumor, & secret details, that have ever existed in this nation.

This is a non-story. Fox ran with it because if they had not, the liberal media (just about all but Fox) would have taken them to task if they ever found out Fox knew & said nothing!

Obama is using this to distract attention away from his association with his controversial preacher who has spent the past 17 or more years spewing hatred of America & to hide his association with an avowed communist whose associations with entities that want to destroy America, have not yet been fully examined.

Bush & his admin. have screwed up a number of things folks. But even he & they are not capable of doing all of the dirty tricks the rabid left want to tag them with. The holdover Clintonista’s alone would have stymied 95% of those nefarious plans
before they could have been carried out!

The selective method for disclosure of these breaches has actually provided a long and stable supply of ammunition against some of the more serious attacks against his administration. Namely any attack fueled by the Clinton’s. Now that GW is leaving the oval office I wonder what Clinton/Burgerlier contacts are being re-established and what for what reason. I have a feeling the remaining left over Clinton appointees in the Bush administration will be more of a problem for the Clinton’s if the Obama camp cognates on the ties. It wouldn’t be too strange for one attorney to go after another. It would be the WWF style of politics the liberal media has been waiting for.

It would be so refreshing to have a candidate just laugh upon hearing the story and say “So what.”

I heard this so-called data breach called ‘horrible’ by a fox talking head. We’re going to have to invent a whole new vocabulary to describe the REALLY bad stuff after hearing this overblown rhetoric.

The real difference now is that the “alternative media” can shoot down the idiocy of the MSM in the early stages. Only a relatively short time ago, they would have ran numerous stories asking the question “Was the Bush administration behind these invasions of privacy? Are any of the bureaucrats friends of Karl Rove?” The MSM would never have offered any evidence. They would just relied on broad hints and innuendo. After a few weeks, these news stories would have caused Bush’s approval numbers to drop a couple of percentage points.
