Hacker exposes Bush family photos

The Smoking Gun reports that a hacker using the online alias "Guccifer" has exposed Bush family emails and photos. Guccifer reportedly obtained home addresses, emails, photos and other personal information by hacking into the email accounts of George W. Bush's sister, Dorothy, Jim Nantz, and others.

In e-mail exchanges with the person who claimed responsibility for the hack, the individual claimed to have swiped “a lot of stuff,” including “interesting mails” about George H.W. Bush’s recent hospitalization, “Bush 43,” and other Bush family members.

Among the photos posted by Guccifer—all watermarked with his alias—was a shot of George H.W. Bush in the hospital, a picture of George W. Bush with Ralph Lauren, and a few shots of paintings that W had emailed to his sister. The paintings are apparently self portraits that he was working on. They show him in the shower and bathtub, respectively.


The cyber attack has promted a federal investigation, though that doesn't seem to be bothering Guccifer, who told The Smoking Gun that the Feds began investigating him months ago and that he's hacked 100s of accounts.

    Ironic or simple justice that the bushies get their privacy violated after doing the same thing to the entire nation?
    If they can't stand the heat of exposure, stay the hell out of spying on others.
    Karma is beautiful at times.

    ^Jenk, that's fine, but I assume you would support the same thing of the Obamas, yes?

    Jeff doesn't understand the concept of hypocrisy. It's easier for him and his fellow lemmings to talk about Bush all the time then face the reality that their Savior is executing American citizens bc he says so. But damn that water boarding and phonetapping ! LOL

    As a somewhat left leaning liberal, I think this is horrible! He was the POTUS! Shouldn't he still be more protected than this?

    Bush didn't have the balls to execute an American citizen. Obama did.

    So you advocate killing US citizens without a trial? And if Bush did this, why do I get the feeling you would be all verklempt about it?

    I bet if this happened to Obama, the libs would be up in arms, but since it's GWB, I guess it's okay. Disgraceful! I personally did not vote for Obama nor do I agree with almost any of his policies, but he's still the POTUS and shoud be shown respect, the same as GWB. Some liberals are just full of hate!!

    Not all. Remember that is was Anonymous that broke the story about the Ohio high school (I forget the town's name) gang rape to the nation's attention.

    Anyone comparing Bush to Hitler is an idiot and should be ignored.

    If our govt says its OK to spy on your own citizens and its OK to assassinate your own citizens why isnt it OK for us citizens to spy on our government? Don't we have a right to know whether our government is targeting one of us?
