WH goes txt msg on us?

Apparently, it took a major scandal happening to their own party for the geniuses at the White House to realize that illegal business conducted over e-mail is not very secure... so they now plan on text-messaging each other. As one clearly naive aide said, "We just got a bit lazy. We knew E-mails could be subpoenaed. We saw that with the Clintons, but I don't think anybody saw that we were doing anything wrong." DUH.

E-mails regarding the people's business are supposed to be handled through official government addresses. Using RNC accounts (as the Bushies were doing) makes it far harder for them to declare any sort of "executive privilege" that would shield those e-mails as well.

Apparently, another federal agency had tried to use such methods of communication, and was forbidden from doing so by powers inside that agency due to "security concerns."
