MARCH 15--The hacker who has spent the past several months breaking into the e-mail accounts of family, friends, and political allies of the Bush family has crossed party lines and illegally accessed the AOL account of a former senior White House adviser to President Bill Clinton.
The intrusion into Sidney Blumenthal’s e-mail account apparently occurred this week, days after the hacker--who uses the alias “Guccifer”--defaced Colin Powell’s Facebook page and breached the former Secretary of State’s AOL account.
The 64-year-old Blumenthal--who was unaware that he had been hacked by “Guccifer”--worked as an assistant and senior adviser to Clinton for about 3-1/2 years, ending in January 2001. He worked as a senior adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign and has remained one of her closest confidants.

“By breaching Blumenthal’s account, “Guccifer” was able to access his correspondence (dating back to at least 2005) with an array of Washington insiders, including political operatives, journalists, and government officials. As with the hacker’s other victims, it is unclear how Blumenthal’s account was illegally accessed or why he was targeted.”
The political elite have got to be getting nervous.
The most shocking thing about this: AOL?!
Heh... It’s been a long time since I saw Sid Blumenthal’s name anywhere. (I do remember reading that he’s a wife beater.) Who can ever forget watching Blumenthal lie brazenly through his teeth on the steps of the courthouse after testifying before the Clinton grand jury? I mean, it wasn’t even spin - - it was a pack of outright fabrications that had nothing to do with what transpired in the jury room.
They don’t come any slimier than Blumenthal.
He’s perfect for Hillary!.
