White House doesn't want to hear it

Bush already avoids the press like the plague, and now it's even hard to send a frickin' email no one important will ever read anyway:

Under a system deployed on the White House Web site for the first time last week, those who want to send a message to President Bush must now navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that starts by asking whether the message sender supports White House policy or differs with it [...]

Jimmy Orr, a White House spokesman, described the system as an "enhancement" intended to improve communications. He called it a "work in progress," and advised members of the public who had sensitive or personal matters to bring up with President Bush to use traditional methods of communications, like a letter on paper, a fax or a phone call.

Or a $2,000 check.

Anyone want to venture where the "differing opinion" emails get deposited?
