It seems that the Bush administration just indicated which Democratic candidate they fear more...
Obama's sensitive passport file breached three times at the State Department. Condi Rice and her underlings don't do a damn thing about it until the third breach in March.

Cuyahoga County in Ohio investigating charges of voter fraud in the case of Republicans who voted in the Democratic primary solely to vote for Clinton in order to defeat Obama.

Is it just me, or has the Bush administration tipped its hand tonight?

3. Here's another thought...
Where the hell IS Karl Rove nowadays?

7. When they start breaching Hillary Clinton's passport files...
...I'll take your suggestion under advisement.

12. I'm sure if this was done to Mrs. Clinton, her supporters would
be crying foul, as well. It's a shitty thing to do, just as shitty as when they did it to Bill Clinton.

14. I hear you...
And let's be clear about this. Nobody that I know of is saying that the Clinton campaign had anything to do with this breach. But Herr Decider does seem to favor Clinton over Obama - I think his endgame is that if McCain loses, at least he'll lose to a Democrat who, in Bush 43's opinion, seems more in line with his line of thinking than Obama.

17. isn't it amazing?
Breaking the Law, breaking the rules doesn't matter. As long as it happens to somebody else. It must that 'Trickle-down effect" of the Clinton Campaign. I wonder if they've already gotten the emails.

5. Slimy bastards!
They can't even keep their greasy, oily, blood-stained paws out of Barack Obama's personal files. It looks like they do fear him. That makes me want to jam down that lever all the more for Obama in November.

6. yes, limpballs was quite clear about it: vote for hillary, she's easiest to beat
the repukes will do anything for the chance to vote against her--no trial would be too much--and most Dems don't like her either, so they're not going to be that motivated to vote for her.

but somehow, in a lunatic hillarybot mind, that adds up to "electable." go figure.

9. I think that's why so many of them talked up Hillary as "our candidate" in 2007
It was "inevitable," we Democrats should just "get used to it" and treat the primary season as a mere formality. When both Obama and Edwards placed ahead of Clinton in the Iowa caucuses, you know that Republican strategists were either swearing at the TV or reaching for the antacid.

8. Have you ever heard of a thing called a calendar?
Hate to break it to you, but things happen when they happen, not when you hear about them.

The Bush administration didn't tip its hand "tonight." You heard about events from January tonight.

Also, has it ever struck you that opposition research is done on everyone?

11. Haven't you been watching the news?
I mean, come on. The State Department sat on this since January 9 and didn't even bother to tell Obama until today. So yes, they tipped their hand tonight. Try to catch up with the rest of the pack...

15. Exactly. Ms. Rice was just told about it yesterday.
This happened three times since January, and it should have been taken care of then. Why is it finally coming out? They weren't in such a hurry to do anything about it, apart from firing two of the "low-level" employees that did it. And now it is past time to actually do anything about it, justice-wise. Convenient.

16. I'm assuming that Rice knew about it from Day One
It's all in that spyware they use on State Department computers. If anyone tried to breach Rove's or Libby's passport file, Condi would have been all over them that same hour like white on - well, rice.
