Political Snapshot

Sen. Barack Obama’s passport file was breached three times since January, the State Department said.

The revelation came shortly after Rice said she hed apologized to Clinton’s Democratic presidential rival Sen. Barack Obama for the unauthorized viewing of his passport file by contractors working for the State Department.

While the chattering classes all look for nefarious reasons for these invasions, I will simply restate what I said last night- the real scandal is that our government has this much information stored about us. And yes, I am aware that private corporations have much the same information, and no, I am not happy about that, either.

According to the talking heads on my television, McCain was snooped, too.
