Only Karl Rove doesn’t have the POW excuse.

Watch Rove’s outrage on Fox at the hacking of Palin’s Yahoo mail account :

No wonder he’s upset – he’s been screwed by technology himself:

[Interviewer] In the new edition of your book, ARMED MADHOUSE, you report on the theft of the 2008 election. How do know what they’re doing? Any way to stop them?

[Greg] Palast: I know because I have Karl Rove’s emails. No kidding. He and his team aren’t the sharpest knives in the drawer. They sent copies of their plans to GeorgeWBush.ORG instead of GeorgeWBush.COM addresses — and, heh heh, they ended up in my in-box. Who says this job ain’t fun?

He learned fast though – remember that ‘mixup’ with the White House email? Somehow records of communications regarding the deliberate corruption of the Justice Dept got wiped. Dashed pesky intertubes, however did that happen? Poor old Republicans, they really haven’t got to grips with this modern world thingy – except when it suits them.

UPDATE

A commenter at the Christian Science Monitor’s Vote Blog:

I find it both incredible and hypocritical that McCain is so upset about someone hacking into Palin’s email when he obviously condoned this very same behavior when he named Carly Fiorina as his economic adviser. Wasn’t she the same CEO who paid to hack into Hewlett Packard’s Board of Directors personal emails?

So it’s been said. HP has certainly admitted to it and she was the boss.
