saint_monkeyA whole mess of unsubstatiated fun semi paranoid conspiracy stuff at this link:

1. They claim the 500 "Rove-deleted" emails requested during the AG investigation were forwarded prior to deletion to georgewbush.org, a domain owned by a staunch detractor of Bush, used to host a parody website. (If true, the staffers were probably aiming for georgewbush.com, a domain that is owned by the GOP. This is consistant with prior revelations that White House staffers are using GOP provided email addresses as "drop boxes" for communications that they want to keep away from public scrutiny.)
2. The story claims that the GOP has authenticated that these emails are the real deal during an interview with the BBC.
3. They go on to claim that the emails explain that the firings of the attorney generals were to "plant" US attorneys sympathetic to a vote rigging scheme to be implemented for election 2008.
4. Monica Goodling admitted in testimony that the GOP "Caged" something like 2000 votes in battleground states during the 2004 election. (Caging involved sending a "do not forward" email to target democratic voters (students out of state in college, soldiers, absentee voters mostly.) and then using the returned mail to challenge and toss out these votes.)
All of this is unsubstantiated and unproven, but it's one of those "Gosh I hope it's true" kinda things that I will keep my eye on.
