Sorry if this has already been posted, but since I've never posted a scoop before, and never been on the rec list before LOL, I'll take my best shot...
Alaska Republican Senate hopeful Joe Miller admitted to improperly using three co-workers' government computers over a lunch break to access his personal website to participate in a political poll, then cleaning the caches to try to cover up the activities.
Wow, the bozo thought he could clear the caches, and no one would notice? LOLOL
Let's see what else the records release has revealed...
In a March 2008 statement to Fairbanks North Star Borough Attorney Rene Broker, Miller said he'd lied about accessing all the computers initially when asked and about the reasons why he used them. Clearing the caches also removed passwords and website IDs used by co-workers.
Fair use only allows three paragraphs, I believe, so I guess I'll have to choose the coolest one from what's left...
Clearing the caches "also cleared out passwords and ID's for various websites that people were using and was very hurtful. ... I acknowledge that my access to others' computers was wrong, participating in the poll was wrong, lying was wrong, and there is absolutely no excuse for any of it," he wrote.
The article goes on to also discuss Miller's odd leave request - supposedly for an operation, but instead for an elk hunt with his sons.
I'm sure Sarah would be proud!
Here's a link for donating to Scott McAdams, the ONLY candidate worthy of representing the fine people in Alaska.
UPDATE - Anchorage Daily News (ADN) has a better article up, with more cool details! Many thanks to jethropalerobber for posting the link, and allowing me to add it here.
And thanks, everyone, for my first time on the Big Board...it means a lot to me!
