In my musings, even from years before I got involved in following the Bush sheenanigans closely, I wondered how the Administration coordinated their Talking Point network so effectively. It seemed like there was some kind of telepathy going on. I would hear of an issue, and almost immediately, the Talking Points would be on the News from multiple sources, on the airway’s Talk Shows, and on the streets. Sometimes the stories were circulation before I’d even heard the issue they were purporting to explain. When all this stuff came up about Rove’s alternative email servers came up, I immediately jumped to the conclusion that it
was Rove’s Blackberry that ran the show. I don’t know if it’s even true or not, but it’s a hypothesis so intuitively right that I’m going to assume it’s correct until I know otherwise [plus, it gives me a chance to use my nifty Karl Rove Balckberry graphic over and over].
There’s an old military principle that shutting down the enemy’s lines of communication is the way to win a closely fought battle. It strikes me that separating Karl Rove from accesss to a secret way to coordinate the Administration both impairs his ability to initiate these Administration salvos and keep his finger on the pulse of the multiplicity of issues he’s obviously followed closely over the years. In the last few months, they seem to be stumbling over their own feet. And in a couple of days, Gonzales is going to get "creamed" in a Congressional Hearing. I say, let’s add Karl Rove and Harriet Miers to the list by issuing supoenas from both the House and Senate while continuing to moniter for clandestine communications. I even have a fantasy of the F.B.I. and C.I.A. using their new powers to snoop to focus on Mr. Rove. I think without Rove’s Blackberry, his gang would fall apart…
You are right. Wouldn’t it be poetic justice to have all of Rove’s emails etc. out in the open at the hearings? On a cable show on MSNBC a few years back the host talked about receiving information about Joe Wilson from the higher ups ( I think he said the WH called him about Joe Wilson a day or so before he interviewed the former Ambassador) and that it was very discrediting information. He only mentioned this days or months after the the outing of a spy case blew up. Did you ever see a political interview where the host seems to have an attitude with a particular guest? The host then asks a gottcha question and you say this guy is not to be believed. Well, that’s what the WH does to deflect damage away from themselves. I know all WHs do it, but nobody does it better than Rove and this WH. They always make the other guy damaged goods. Rove’s blackberry is just perfect for a dirty, sneaky guy like him. How do people think the Republican pundits, congressman end up using the same key words to express a particular point thru the public airways. One recent example I can think of are the words “micromanage the war” in regard to the Democrats and there Bill coming up for a vote in Congress. It is sickening. They act as if our country is a game to be won and not a country to work better for most. I find their wins treasonous. Hopefully they will be stopped like the guy on the game show that was on years a go called “The 64000 question” They made a movie about the show a couple of years ago because it was as popular as the”American Idol” show today.

April 16, 2007 — One of our readers has identified the fact that the same two mail servers were used by the Republican National Committee and two Bush-Cheney 04 web sites: georgewbush.com and gwb43.com. The two mail servers are: 10 mailscan1.smartechcorp.net and 10 mailscan2.smartechcorp.net. The IP addresses for the two servers are: IP addresses are 64.203.97.101 and 64.203.98.245, respectively. Because they both have a “10” priority that means that they backed each other up.
Another reader contacted Sen. Patrick Leahy’s office with detailed technical information on how to retrieve the missing e-mails from the servers involved in White House, Justice Department, and RNC inter-communications. That individual was given a brush-off by a Leahy staffer. If Leahy and his staff are waiting for the Bush administration to come up with the missing e-mails, they are sadly mistaken. Leahy’s staff needs a course in what phone calls to pay attention to. In the case referred to above, he and his staff flunk the test for Computer Forensics 101.
