They are still at Stage One:
FIVE STAGES OF DENYING DEATH
1) Denial -- The emails dont mean anything
2) Anger -- How DARE that hacker raid our privacy!
3) Bargaining -- Youre the Media cover for us! We won't lie any more!
4) Depression -- Oh God, Climategate is gaining traction! ·
5) Acceptance -- Maybe I can get a job at McDonalds
Oh, no; not ALL of them. Sen. Barbara Boxer has made it to at least Stage 2 with her “E-mail-gate” comment.
She’s at least on par with a few 18th Century British Loyalists who were upset that Paul Revere had been out past curfew.
