Karl Rove--Fantasy man
I am a hopeless romantic. I believe in true love, the purity of little children and the sancity of the family...oh yeah, and that government workers should be ethical.
Call me crazy, but I think that like Caeser's wife, those who want power in the public sector should be straighter than the rest of us. Just like I think that cops should drive the speed limit (are you laughing at me yet?) So, you can imagine that it comes as a shock to me to find out that the Bush White House has been using private 3rd party email addresses to transact official government business in complete violation of the 1978 Presidential Records Act.
The White House has begrudgingly admitted (when forced to by Rep Waxman who asked for official records), that they used email accounts routed through the Republican National Committee (RNC) to do things like, say, talk to convicted felon Jack Abramoff or more recently, to have discussions about firing the 8 disloyal US attorneys.
If a corporate executive from a company under investigation, an Enron say, did something like that, they'd go to jail. Not so the White House.
Oh and the kicker is that they've lost much of the email.
I may be the first person in history to say this but I have lost my virginity to Karl Rove (metaphorically speaking, of course).
