We love a mystery! And this week's political mystery (apart from the continued popularity of Sarah Palin) is a real head-scratcher: In January, someone sent House Republicans mean anonymous emails promising DEEP HURTING for any any member of the GOP caucus who voted to increase the debt ceiling. So you are probably asking yourself, "So? It's an email, what's the big deal?" and also "Where is that large automobile?" Well here is what the big deal is: the spam was sent to the House members' super-top-secret confidential private House email addresses, the addresses that they only use for correspondence with each other. Buzzfeed's John Stanton says,
Why do I strongly suspect that the "secret" email addresses are in the vein of boehner91@house.gov? You know, anything that a spammer with 3 minutes of experience could guess?
Oh great now that their emails are out they’ll start getting Viagra ads and Nigerian scam emails and with their lack of common sense the government will be broke with erections.

I don&#039;t think we&#039;ve ruled her out of, well, anything crazy since Watergate. But she&#039;s by no means the only suspect.
Hmm. Allen West was in Congress just a leetle while ago, and he might have picked up a few email addys while researching the 90 Communist members.
One of the just-ordinarily-crazy ones.
Email? I would have thought the usual suspects would work in crayon.
Sarah Palin must have fired up her Yahoo account again.
the entire party reads and writes like that- who are they kidding?
I&#039;m betting it was Tom DeLay threatening to go all Dale Gribble on them
Nice House of Representatives ya got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it, better check your fire extinguishers
