from usatoday.com: When e-mails became public Wednesday linking top aides of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge, it was a stark reminder of one of the first rules of political handlers: electronic communications live forever, just waiting to be exposed. So think twice before hitting the send button. “If you’re going to be involved in a scandal, definitely don’t send an e-mail,” said Hank Sheinkopf, who runs a strategic communication firm in New York.
