When the White House isn't losing emails, it's refusing to open them

It never ends, does it? McClatchy:

A key e-mail that [California Senator Barbara] Boxer wants disclosed is an EPA document that describes how global warming endangers public health and welfare. [Global warming whistleblower Jason] Burnett sent the e-mail to the White House in December. He said Tuesday that he sent it only after making last-minute checks that the agency was ready to release it and the White House Office of Management and Budget was ready to receive it.

The White House asked Burnett to withdraw the e-mail, but he refused. The OMB then declined to open it. By not officially receiving the e-mail, the OMB ensured that it couldn’t be made public.

Well, that’s a new one. What next?

They don’t have to testify because they crossed their fingers behind their back when they opened the mail up?

Oh, wait. They don’t have to testify anyhow, since all the Beltway Dems are going to do, in the absolute worst case, is send a sternly worded letter after making frowny faces on the teebee. Which, when you come to think about it, is why the White House pulls transparently bogus and insulting shit like this in the first place. Well done, all.
