Rove -ing emails: what else could go missing?

As reported here, the Bush family's personal Internet strategist installed proprietary database, email, and web servers on the U.S. House of Representatives IT networks, less than three months after President George W. Bush took office in 2001.

Six years later, Michael L. Connell and his twin companies -- New Media Communications and Govtech Solutions -- have replicated that early success and spread throughout the federal government like one of New Media's award-winning viral marketing campaigns.

With one hand Connell fights to keep his party in power: exotic technologies that sync talking points for the RNC, Republican Governors Association, and 30 state GOP parties with his 'news' for hire clients like TCS Daily and Frontpage Mag.

And yet with the other, Mike Connell designs and maintains databases that run computer software at the White House, the Departments of Justice, Energy and State, and the most hermetic committees on Capitol Hill like Intelligence and the Judiciary.

Whether the conflict of interest is real or apparent matters little, because so far no one has even asked the question: should a top campaign consultant with a history of electoral fraud be a systems administrator for federal government IT networks?

3. Since the Bush scenario is so eerily reminiscent of Watergate,
I keep hoping someone will play the role that John Dean played with Nixon. Surely as it heats up, someone will sing.

4. Too many scandals, so little time
However, if you are listening in on Congress, et.al., it might be much easier to stay ahead of the tsunami.

6. They're still using the "small margin of victory" for Gore in 2000 - after all this

evidence. Stealing elections was objective #1 (even before grabbing power). getting rich - #2.
