Wow. Didn't know I'd get this much of a response. Kos-ians are a resourceful bunch. :D
Keep up the good work, guys.
My current plan is to use this and other sources to create an easy-to-use e-mail list to contact everyone associated with the GOP election effort and GeorgeWBush 04... all at once.
It's the last week before the election. Too late for them to re-org around their current e-mail addresses. Hitting their organizational heirarchy in a legal but hardball fashion is not only effective, it's the morally correct thing to do.
As one of the leaked e-mails opines: "Politics is a contact sport."
Get some diaries going scrounging up all the e-mail addresses of people involved with the Bush effort that you can find. Bonus point for Blackberries. Let's give 'em hell, eh?
And now, the original diary entry:
Private e-mails that were meant to be sent to georgewbush.com addresses accidentally got sent to georgewbush.org once in a while; that's a parody website operated by our guys, who posted these mis-directed e-mails up on the web today for all to see.
Money e-mail:

God help them, indeed. Visit www.georgewbush.org/deadletteroffice/ for the source.
Let's dig into this. A plum like getting to read all the Republican's internal e-mails doesn't come along often.
There's other fun stuff in there like a campaign staffer fantasizing over getting with Barbara Bush, and a RNC strategist begging Mary Matalin to have George Bush do something 'progressive' like put more funds into stem cell research.
