Smackdown #4: "Both Ways Bob headed to the pokey" edition

I watched the Fox gubernatorial debate last night. It covered a lot of the same ground as the other debates. Except that Both Ways Bob seems to have recently developed an Al Gore-like penchant for rolling his eyes and sighing while his opponent is speaking.

There was one itsy-bitsy new piece of information. Bob Beauprez, or someone in his campaign, committed a felony by illegally accessing and exploiting a national crime database for political gain.

I have already written about this story twice, so I'm not going to go over the details again. But I can't say it strongly enough. Either someone in the Beauprez campaign illegally tapped into the NCIC database. Or they are inventing their ads from scratch, which is possible, since the Beauprez camp never gave CBS the required sourcing information for their claim.

Read Smackdown #1, Smackdown #2 and Smackdown #3. Also read Both Ways Bob headed to the pokey? and More on "Both Ways Bob headed to the pokey?" And I apologize for conflating the two series.
