White House: Oops...I Guess We Did Spam Americans

AP:

After insisting no one was receiving unsolicited e-mails from the White House, officials reversed their story Monday night and blamed outside political groups for the unwanted messages from the tech-savvy operation.

White House online director Macon Phillips said in a blog posting that independent groups - he didn't name them - had signed up their members to receive regular White House updates about Obama's projects, priorities and speeches.

The White House had consistently denied that anyone who hadn't sought the e-mails had received them.

"It has come to our attention that some people may have been subscribed to our e-mail lists without their knowledge - likely as a result of efforts by outside groups of all political stripes - and we regret any inconvenience caused by receiving an unexpected message," Phillips wrote.

Wait a second...I thought this was supposed to be the most tech savvy administration EVAH!  How can they screw up something so elementary as e-mail distribution lists?  The conclusion is that either they're completely incompetent, or they're lying.

My money's on both.

There's my two cents.
