much attention to what others may or may not have done. Every time someone asked a question about Ms. Clinton's accountability, trust, transparency or judgment, I'd reply with: "Enough with these nonstop personal attacks. You so called reporters are playing right into Rove's plan when you should instead be asking the other candidates to answer tough questions. Did you know that both Secretary Rice and Secretary Powell occasionally sent personal email from their government accounts? Why aren't you digging into that and reporting that for a change. Just because they aren't running or anything isn't an excuse for you being a wingnut lapdog."
So request all you want. Send FOIA requests to the departments of every Bush appointment.
I have no doubt that Secretary Rice used the government-provided network and it's highly likely that she occasionally sent personal email on it. Such use is permitted by the government ethics regulations provided the use is reasonable in frequency and duration, pretty much mirroring personal use of the government-owned telephone exchange. It's also intuitive that no other cabinet officer in this or any other administration evaded oversight of official communications with such an elaborate scheme.
As an attorney, Ms. Clinton is almost certainly aware of the pitfalls when you co-mingle clients' money with the attorney's money and keep it all in the attorney's personal bank account.
There are no shortage of ethical Democrats who don't struggle with doing the right thing for the right reason. There is no reason we should ever settle for one who does.
