2008: Bush Admin 'loses' 22 million emails related to Plamegate, Darrel Issa says 'don't sweat it.' [View all]

Apparently, Daryll Issa and the Republicans didn't think it was a 'scandal' when the Bush Administration 'lost' 22 million emails between 2003 and 2005, relating to A) lying the country into the Iraq war, and B) outing CIA agent Valerie Plame in order to punish her husband for exposing the lie about the yellowcake uranium. "Just blame it on a computer glitch, and forgedabbadit" says Issa.

What a difference a few years makes. Here Issa defends Karl Rove's use of private email accounts to do government work while in the White House, without Congress getting access to it. *Eyeroll*
