What is the difference in the missing of 5 million to 10 million e-mails by Emperor Bush and his Dick as in shoot your best friend in the face Cheney to have distroyed to Nixon's 18 1/2 minutes missing on the Watergate Tapes? With high speed computers today, it would most likely take 18 1/2 seconds to wipe out 5 to 10 million e-mails. Now the only difference is today, it will take 18 1/2 days to recover all those missing 5 to 10 million of missing e-mails. My, my how history repeats itself. To think their president is not a crook! Emperor Bush are you going to share all those diamonds and gold you got in all those bags on your trip to Saudi Arabia from the Prince? Do we in America hear Wedding Bells? That photo op of you Emperor Bush with those Gold Chains around your neck and kissing moment with the Prince was priceless! So how much is this going to cost America? Royal Weddings are so expensive today! Maybe your Dick will give you away! Will you use Rice at the Wedding? It could happen. You have surely given American away to China & Saudia Arabia. Sounds like one of those Royal arranged marriages. Can we say we were all invited and not have to show up? Keep Hope Alive! Kiss! Kiss!

I salute those whom have posted prior to my comment. Today's Chicago Tribune decided to put this email issue on their front page, but under the controversial abortion headline.
All US citizen's should make it their business to support the members of Congress, i.e. Dennis Kuncinich, Waxman and Wexler, whom are attempting to get the IMPEACHMENT process going. I will say IT'S ABOUT TIME!

Excellent response Dan Mortenson. I agree. But, America is a "Constitutional Republic" not a "Democracy."

It is high time that those Congressional bodies responsible for such oversight reassert their authority and stop wasting the taxpayers time with all their platitudes for each other and demand that which they have every right to have. If stalling continues, our forefathers did give them the impeachment power.

The American people are fairly well educated, and I believe that IF this could make FRONT page news more people would demand answers.

Scandel, smandel, nothing is too evil to stick to the teflon presidency. This presidency has commited over a dozen impeachable offenses. They spy on us. They torture. They invade other countries. Everything they say is a lie. They commit terrorist acts on a daily basis. Have suspended Habeus Corpus. Have removed democractically elected leaders from their posititions in government. And when we seek to hold them accountable, the evidence disappears or they have underlings fall on their swords. And these are just some of the things we know about never mind the atrocities they've managed to keep hidden. I love my country and what it is supposed to stand for so therefore I must despise and mistrust the executive branch. If America was ever not lost, it certainly isn't following the ideals of the Constitution now.

katrina was a very bad dissaster. Kaos was everywhere and very sad stories followed very hard.
Missing documents wheter on paper or electronic is a very bad situation.
Many things could draw to such situation such as funds being malbursed.

I don't like to say all hope's lost, but (pretty much) all hope is lost. The Owning Class figured out long ago that Americans are intellectually lazy, and think that our annually-venerated heroes died to win us our freedom and democracy permanently -- no maintenance required. Then the Owners invented television-as-we-know-it to keep us compliantly zoned out on our couches, ingesting their it's-all-good pap, with our beer and pretzels.

Lazy programmed Americans know everything already, and can't be bothered to question the wisdom handed them by FAUX "news." They know who the enemy are: "terrorists," and people who question the government. By raising "old" issues like the "innocently" deleted emails, you just make sure you're on their shit list.

A democracy without an informed and involved citizenry is no longer a democracy. When the people are so ill-informed that they cannot tell the truth from a lie, they will go with the most photogenic liar; and they've never seen the wreck of Bush's face without botox. Since the public THINKS they are informed, they will never seek after details; instead modeling the (apparent) cogitation style of those who keep them "informed." Bill O'Rielly models the proper knee-jerk way to approach complex issues. Ignore the complexities, and grab it by any handle that fits one of your preconcieved notions; the foremost tool in the kit being an endemic distrust of intellectuals and liberals. In fact the very claim that an issue is complex is a giveaway that liberals are trying to stack the deck somehow, because all important issues are by definition simple, and can be treated as such.

That's the mindset the American public has been programmed with. Middle America is quite satisfied with simple views of reality, that leave more time for their favorite shows. They don't want to know the details.

We don't want to trouble ourselves with making sure our public servant serve us. So, despite our common sentiment that politicians can't be trusted, we nevertheless prefer to trust them; because it's just less trouble that way.

We don't want to admit that freedom doesn't stay free without constant weeding and pruning and chasing off the predators. We don't want to know that we are the ones who have to know enough about the process, and participate in the process, of keeping our house secure. We are vegged out watching the tube, in the house of our freedoms, with loaded guns on the coffee table, and we can't even muster the energy to lock the door against people walking in and holding us up with our own weapons.

No wonder Bush and Putin get along so well, missiles or no missiles.

Dennis, What will you do when they impose the North American Union on all of us? I figure that G.B. wants to be a president to all of us.

We are in a mess down here.

Bush makes Nixon look like a shining example of an honest president...

Why be offended that the WH treats us as idiots? Everything has only confirmed their view. I'm offended that we are (collectively) ACTING like idiots. As long as we allow it, we validate their strategies.

gimme a break, it's not that complicated. they're required to keep records, they either didn't, have them and won't turn them over or destroyed them. all three are illegal. in addition they are obstructing the investigation. why are they getting a free pass from anyone?

funny how a few of gore's gone missing was a scandal in a time with much cruder technology though.
