Absurd
Apparently, Hillary Clinton and John McCain have also been victims of State Dept snoopers. CNN is reporting, as are many others, that their passport files have been perused, too. News broke last night that Barack Obama's passport files were accessed on three occasions by three different workers.
John McCain released a statement via his campaign: “The U.S. government has a responsibility to respect the privacy of all Americans. It appears that privacy was breached and I expect a thorough review and a change in procedures as necessary to ensure the privacy of all passport files.”
Clearly the folks at State have too much time on their hands. I'd like to introduce them to Scrabulous or Texas Hold 'Em. Give them something else to do rather than violate the privacy rights of high-profile people (and what about the rest of us?) ...

Now Barack really has his foot in his mouth - his first reaction when he heard about his passport being peeked at was 'Hillary's campaign did it'.
Now what?

Is it fun to just make things up like that?
