Hey, it turns out that it wasn’t really the right thing to do to turn Joe Wurzelbacher’s life inside out like that:

An agency director improperly used state computers to find personal information on “Joe the Plumber,” a government watchdog said in a report released Thursday.

There was no legitimate business purpose for the head of Ohio’s Department of Job and Family Services to order staff to look up the records, Inspector General Tom Charles said.

 

Investigators weren’t able to determine whether the searches were politically motivated, the report said.

 

“All these searches were done in the midst of a national political campaign,” the report said. “But we did not find any evidence that shows the data was accessed or information released in response to media requests in an effort to support any political activity or agenda.”

Riiiiiiight.  The culprit, Helen Jones-Kelley, received a month’s suspension without pay for the improper use of government resources to smear a man whose only crime was to ask The Obamessiah a question.

After years of hearing the left whine and bitch and moan about the “right-wing smear machine” without the slightest, most minuscule amount of self-regard, it’s really quite amazing that anything at all was done improperly on behalf of The Obamessiah.   You’d think they’d try to be just a little bit clean.
