Sorry Republican Sex Scandals will never look good unless you are some kind of demented pervert.

No. She was not some low end employee, but a agency director. I can't go into detail but a e-mail was sent around on federal computers for a area I work in (think black jokes with a picture of Obama). Those people were written up and they now have a folder in a special cabinet now. None of them were directors and/or high up mangers. As such they got a letter detailing what they did was wrong and we in HR made a nice folder form them in the ER cabinet.

Same as when people were looking at Clintons, McCains, etc... passport records. Those people were written up.

I hope she and the others are arrested and charged just like the Myspace suicide case.

Not the same. :roll:

Both were unauthorized computer access. Maybe for different reasons but the same none the less.

It sounds like in this case the director had the authority to access the system, but used that authority improperly. Not the same. In my job I have access to millions of medical records, which I may need to use in the course of doing my work. But if I used my access to those records to look up a person's medical history for reasons unrelated to my job, they'd go HIPAA all over my ass.

i can agree with that. I do think she deserves to be fired and haven o sympathy for her.

while she thought she was doing good for Obama it is a mark on him that some are going to exploit. people need to think before they do something.

Anyone saying "ohh gee more illegal activity by democrats" and acting like this is just something they do is a fucking idiot. curruption, stupidity, etc is not a one party system. both do it enough that its sickening.
