Zing! It’s funny, because it is scarily true. And just how true is it? Word came today that the Obama administration uses secret email addresses. How transparent!

It's almost like the Obama administration doesn't want the American people to know what it's doing. http://t.co/1nNdigcCpJ — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) June 4, 2013

More from The New York Times (yes, even the fish wrap of record had to report on this doozy):

The secret email accounts complicate an agency’s legal responsibilities to find and turn over emails in response to congressional or internal investigations, civil lawsuits or public records requests because employees assigned to compile such responses would necessarily need to know about the accounts to search them. Secret accounts also drive perceptions that government officials are trying to hide actions or decisions.

Funny how it drives that “perception,” huh?

Obama needs to issue an executive order that says all govt business must be done on official (FOIA-able) email http://t.co/sG9DMp6qyM — Kirsten Powers (@KirstenPowers) June 4, 2013

Don’t hold your breath, Ms. Powers.

It's like the Obama Administration is the exact opposite of everything it says it is or always has been…Weird — Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) June 4, 2013

Hey, remember when President Obama said the old rules of non-transparency are over? LOL http://t.co/QMfOaZVOHq — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 4, 2013

Hey, remember when @BarackObama said he would "hold himself to a new standard of openness?" LOL http://t.co/r0zxObn53f — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 4, 2013

If you want to know just how empty @BarackObama's promise of transparency was, watch this speech from Jan. 2009 –> http://t.co/erTA07yHIf — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 4, 2013

Know how you know what the Left & @BarackObama are doing? By looking at the opposite of what they say they're doing. http://t.co/Dvd5ZBeiD6 — Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) June 4, 2013

Dear @whitehouse @PressSec Were there any alias emails you did not release on Benghazi? — Jonah Goldberg (@JonahNRO) June 4, 2013

Drip, drip, drip.
