(CNN) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Friday told Sen. Hillary Clinton that the security of her passport file were breached in 2007, according to Clinton's Senate official.

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

The revelation came shortly after Rice said she (sic) 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.

What troubles me about this is that a State Department official leaked this to the Washington Times, which is about as conservative a paper as you get in this country. Is this the second coming of Nixon's Plumbers?

McCain's file was also breached.

Ok so all three were. Doesn't make it any less ridiculous that this was done.

I don't know what the big deal is. I'm sure the Patriot Act makes all of this legal. :roll:

After all, all three of these extremists have taken issue with our conduct of the war in Iraq, so they must support the terrorists and therefore are subject to all sorts of invasions of privacy. I'm sure they have some French in their heritage to boot.

You didn't know that his full name was Barack Hussein Chirac Obama?

What's that you say, Mr. Jacques Tutite McCain?
You say that if Hillary Rodham Clinton married Dennis Rodman....we'd all throw up a little?

Well one good thing about the Patriot Act is that the NSA has copies of those millions of missing White House emails.

I mean, if you're innocent, then what do you have to hide, right?

I guess, with that logic, we should be seeing the records from the Clinton White House any day now. :oops:

That'll put to rest all of the rumors surrounding Hillary's role/opinion of Travelgate, Vince Foster, NAFTA, the firing of of the state attorneys, Monica, healthcare reform, terrorism, Whitewater, cattle futures, etc. and give us all a broader perspective on her supportive, co-leadership while she was in the White House.

Agreed, I'd love to see Ms. "I've been a critic of NAFTA from the beginning"'s tax returns. .

It gets better:

Chief of firm involved in breach is Obama adviser

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The CEO of a company whose employee is accused of improperly looking at the passport files of presidential candidates is a consultant to the Barack Obama campaign, a source said Saturday.

You mean it wasn't the vast Right Wing Conspiracy?

For the record, Hillary is a carpetbagger and thus is not worth respecting.

Ah, because she moved to N.Y. to run for the Senate she's not worth respecting. Fair enough. But then you must certainly believe that Sen. McCain, who moved to Arizona to run for Congress, isn't worth respecting either.

Personally, I think this doesn't matter one whit about either Hil or Mac -- they are both ambitious politicians and their adopted home state voters elected and re-elected them. If this is good enough for New Yorkers and Arizonans it's good enough for me.

Did you know that his dad is on the terrorist watch list? Yup....and that is the reason he couldn't go to a couple of his son's public speeches.
