Not only do I have skeletons, they're partying in that closet.
However, it's probably useful in the short term, making weenie politicians so terrified of exposure they forget the whole idea and go back to probating wills in Podunk. That's if somebody tells them what dirt is on file, naturally.

(6,899 posts)OK, the problem is the folks who just want to tell us how horrible things are.
Some people have actually gone to jail for stuff, they shouldn't run for public office without voters knowing.
Some people (Anthony Weiner) sure don't need the NSA or corporations to catch them.
Name one Congresscritter who has been blackmailed by the NSA. It only takes 218 to pass laws.
Supreme court justices have jobs for LIFE. The NSA has murdered zero. The number impeached-ever-=0.
No one is arguing that is OK, they are arguing that it is delusional.
