The following are transcripts of some of the 541 e-mails exchanged between Gov. Bob Wise and Angela Mascia-Frye. The messages were obtained by the Daily Mail through a Freedom of Information Act request.

July 5, 2002: Mascia-Frye: Governor...You are the best Governor ever!! Wise: ...And thanks for saying I’m the best gov’r. Actually, I am the only one who keeps the same crazy e-mail hours that you do.

July 7, 2002 Wise: ...probably the best way is to leave a message on my cell which is ***blacked out*** Mascia-Frye: Thank you for your cell phone number. I won’t call you unless it’s absolutely necessary (life or death situation...).

July 15, 2002 Mascia-Frye: How is Idaho? Is the G-convention interesting? What is Idaho known for besides the delicious potatoes? I hope to meet you on the Internet highway tonight. Do you have the AOL instant messenger? Enjoy Idaho!!! Wise: Reporting from Idaho. As hard as it is to believe, this place really is built around the potato — including the bottle of Blue Ice vodka that showed up in our room. It’s a local product. ... Interestingly, my son and I were walking down a Boise street tonight and passed the Basque Center. Tell me if I need to do some boning up on Basque history and protocol.

So basically you're pursuing a moral litmus test based on his fidelity to his wife, a relationship that has exactly zero relevance to your life. What you are, is a no-good busybody. You are like the worst possible neighbor, peeking into someone's windows and announcing what you see to the world. Anyone with a shred of conscience would turn away from this in disgust. The likelihood that you yourself could pass the test of every self-nominated moral crusader is zero. When you get back from your divine ressurection let us know.

We also might add that the governor's state employee girlfriend seems to have lacked any qualifications for her job, I mean, the kind you list on your resume.

the governor's opponents play dirty.

The governor's opponents, at least those with any affiliation whatsoever with the Republican Party, had absolutely nothing to do with this. A Charleston newspaper dug up the story that the Gov was cheating on his wife with a married state employee with whom he had traveled to Europe, among other places. A reporter interviewed the woman's husband, and the rest is history. The governor's office released the emails to the press. This guy's hanging himself, no need for his enemies - such as they are - even to get involved.
