GOP signs people up for unsolicited White House e-mails

This is the story that Darrell Issa is screaming his head off about.

A couple days ago, there were some rumblings about folks receiving spam e-mail from the White House.

The White House initially said there was nobody receiving unsolicited e-mail. But now White House online director Macon Phillips says in a blog post that "outside groups" had signed people up to receive these e-mails.

In other words, Republican operatives randomly plucked e-mail addresses and signed them up for White House e-mails, just so Obama could be blamed for it.

I guess the Republicans realized when Jim Talent lost that it didn't pay to spam people with Republican e-mail. So now they're signing everyone up for Obama's e-mail list so the Democrats can be blamed.

Is there any sleazy tactic the GOP won't resort to?
