People ARE getting more stupid.

PHONE NUMBERS ARE TRACEABLE

One would think that by the time a persoon gets to be in public office, they would know better than to use a personal phone number to arrange liaisons.

I am no genius, but if I were inclined to something similar, I would use someone else's phone or buy a second-hand "no contract" phone.

It also strikes me as extremely funny, that people who rail against 'big gubbment" knowing their "biddness' carry around blackberries, cell phones, iphones that can PINPOINT their very steps throughout their travels..just by checking "pings" from cell towers.. and the messages sent and received from/on those devices can be 'restored" if someone needs to.

Seems like meeting face to face in smoky bars may have been a better approach :)

2. Love this line...

'I am no genius, but if I were inclined to something similar, I would use someone else's phone or buy a second-hand "no contract" phone.'I hear that as a defense for so many up and 'comers'! Someone used my phone without my permission. Too funny.

3. Perhaps the phone got hacked!

I wonder how some people walk and talk at the same time

5. They aren't stupid. I've heard more than a few use those TRACPHONES

They buy a load of cards, use them for a few months, then dump them, like the drug dealers do. Beats having your calls logged for all eternity....especially if you're cutting things close to the vest.

These are probably the same people who had laptops that were hooked into the RNC server, not the Whitehouse.gov one.

I'm not kidding, either--wish I was.

6. Personally, I was shocked that he was in her book...

Vitter would have been among a small number of men in the Senate whom I would have bet against being in DJ Palfrey's little black book, he's always struck me as a well meaning, although totally misled, sort of amiable, principled, Republican lunkhead. . . What a dope! If, I or one of my 3 buddies needed a little change of pace we attended happy hour at an upscale local bar and met girls that way, many were there for the same reason's we were, and you would find each other, I think everyone found enjoyment in that method. Plus, half of the fun was in the chase, as I recall. . .:bounce:

8. Maybe they are just arrogant and think they will never be held to account.
