Stupid Like a Fox!

A nice little bit of schadenfreude from TPM:
White House personnel appear to have been systematically avoiding using their government emails on the job because they knew they might some day be subpoenaed.

But as we noted earlier with Karl Rove, this may have been too clever by half. If the president's aides were using RNC emails or emails from other Republican political committees, they can't have even the vaguest claim to shielding those communications behind executive privilege.
That's a very good point. I know the Republicans believe their party and the current monarchical government we have are one and the same, but legally? Not so much.

Speaking of Rove, check out his appearance in a piece on the 1972 Nixon campaign. Yikes.

He looked like Andy Warhol.

I wonder how bald he already was then, what with the massive combover.

In any case, nice to be reminded where Karl learned his political tactics and ethics.

You're against merging Party and State? What are you, a communist?
