If It's Not One Law, It's Another
Political operatives at the Bush White House continue to rack up flagrant violations of the law.
As if there aren't enough current and former White House staffers under indictment or investigation, the number of Bush campaign surrogates is just as striking.
The latest news in the growing swirl of Bush scandals involves illegal telephone jamming and election fraud (which is nothing new for the Bushies). As reported by the Associated Press via Yahoo! News, "key figures in a phone-jamming scheme designed to keep New Hampshire Democrats from voting in 2002 had regular contact with the White House and Republican Party as the plan was unfolding, phone records introduced in criminal court show."

"The records show that Bush campaign operative James Tobin, who recently was convicted in the case, made two dozen calls to the White House within a three-day period around Election Day 2002 Â as the phone jamming operation was finalized, carried out and then abruptly shut down."
