Subject: Who is Brad Dayspring?

And why it should matter.

According to the book Hubris, Brad Dayspring – uh, not his real name – was a campaign worker for George W. Bush’s re-election in 2004. He was fired because he spoke to a reporter – not for attribution, of course – about how the Bush campaign did not want to talk about Iraq.

Terry Holt, the press secretary for Bush’s re-election campaign, fired him. Holt called Dayspring into his office and laid out his phone records that showed he had recently talked to the aforementioned reporter. Dayspring denied talking about Iraq, but he was fired anyway.

So, information collected by Bush to fight terrorism – phone records – was used by Bush for a political purpose.

Does that bother ya? It should – especially when ya hear Bush rail against Senate Democrats for not wanting to extend his phone snooping privilege.

What other records does he want? Who is the next “terrorism” target? Hillary Clinton? Me? You?
