Naughty E-mails...!

ThinkProgress has the video of Tony "Snowjob" Snow's comments this weekend on CNN: "there have been other scandals, as you know, that have been more than simply naughty e-mails"

Digby lays the smackdown on Snow and the hypoctites he shills for in this post and offers a warning to the effect that: what goes around comes around.

Well I'm sorry, but that just won't do. Republicans had better get out their Thesauruses because we are now deep into sex scandal disclaimer territory. They are going to have to arm themselves with all the words and they are going to have to use them lest their political opponents be allowed to paint them as soft on covering up underage cyber-stalking by middle aged congressmen. These are the rules they made up --- they'd better get with with the program.

They will also find in those transcripts the approved Republican talking points of the period which repeatedly claimed how repulsive and nauseating it was for a middle aged man to become involved with a 22 year old who worked in his office. That might give them some clues about what's about to happen to them. This time, of course, you have the specter of multiple 16 year old victims, the perpetrator being a closeted, gay Catholic Republican and the House leadership pretty much giving the guy a thumbs up and an "attaboy" --- so there's a lot more for their opponents to work with.
