Comment Re:too much email to actually govern (Score 1) 839
I just read Rep Waxman's preliminary report. They believe that Mr Rove received more than 200 emails/day, and sent out over 100 emails/day. I agree with the previous poster who said that maybe all this email is in fact what passes for governance, and that is what the scandal is all about - the politicization of just about everything.
By the way, does anyone here believe that all of those "erased" emails are actually gone? If the email volume is so high because everyone on the list copied the world, than it should be possible to go to the recipients and reconstruct things.
Yes, I have worked in an office, supervising about 25 people, both locally and in the field. I generally found face to face conversations and phone calls to be better at resolving operational issues than email. I wonder how many of the 141K emails were to people just down the hall.
Finally, does anyone know what a presidential political advisor with a job inside the White House actually does? Is this a new position? It's not clear to me what a political advisor should be doing on the public payroll. In that sense, this whole official government vs RNC records scandal was almost inevitable.
