Lindsey Graham Says He Has Never Sent An Email

What are you trying to hide, Lindsey?

WASHINGTON -- Discussing the controversy over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton using her personal email account for government business, a top Senate Republican revealed that he has never sent an email in his life.

"I don't email," Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) said. "You can have every email I've ever sent. I've never sent one."

Great Choice For President, Huh?

1. I like him, I mean he would be the same as some Democrats, right?

[Thinkingabout]

2. Can we see copies of his regular mails and memos?

[dembotoz]

3. Lord grant me the power not to post anything rather clever but quite offensive

i rather like it here on du

[RichGirl]

44. On that note....

Lindsay Graham is so desperate to be the OPPOSITE of anything "Clinton"....soon he'll be announcing that he has never gotten a blow job...EVER, not one.

[rock]

4. And proud of it

[newfie11]

5. To dumb to know what Internet is

After all he is a repug!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

36. And he's proud of that?! I know bricks smarter than that bumpkin.

[brush]

39. He's taking Ludditism to the extreme

why is he in DC at all in 2015 with no tech knowledge and no inclination to learn.

And he's making decisions about whether the government is funded or not.

[hobbit709]

6. Could be true since his thinking is firmly rooted in the 1850's South.

[Jamastiene]

30. ^THIS

I was trying to think of a way to say something similar to that.

[Snotcicles]

7. Why am I not surprised? nt

[Jim__]

8. What ever happened to sending telegrams?

This guy's a senator. I guess he can afford to communicate the old fashioned way.

[Segami]

9. Hey Lindsey,...

The new 2015 model for your communications has just come out......I believe it will hold more pages than your old system held.

[bravenak]

27. Ha!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

38. lol & this goofball is thinkin of runnin for President? Please please nominate him. Could the Rethugs be that stupid?...

Question kinda answers itself.

[blm]

10. Which actually means his staff does EVERYTHING tech FOR him. Let's see the emails

he directed his STAFF to send FOR HIM.

[ms liberty]

19. This^^^^ n/t

[littlewolf]

25. yup

why should he dirty his hands talking to the common people
he is a senator, this is why he has staff.

[blm]

40. LOL - Mizz Scarlet has her 'bodymen'….

oops….I meant Mizz Lindsey.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. More proof he's living in the dark ages

Chiseling stone tablets must be rather time consuming.

[TwilightGardener]

12. Reserve JAG officer in the military--this would almost be impossible, to have never

sent an email. That is how the military communicates.

[DebJ]

32. But he became a Congress Creature in 1995....

how much email was sent about prior to 1995?

[TwilightGardener]

35. He's currently a military reserve officer. My husband retired recently

as an Air Force officer, and emails were a chunk of his workday from the 90's on. That's how the military does business. There's no way Lindsay could have avoided using email--officers and enlisted alike can't escape it.

[Joe Johns]

13. What about love notes to and from McCain?

Of course, old-fashioned snail mail would be more romantic!

[gerogie2]

14. It's a good idea for a politico or public person not to use email directly

It is to easy to be dragged into something that is illegal even though you did nothing illegal. Use of dictation to an employee who then types up a letter in word then emails that pre-approved letter to the recipient or better yet sends it through the US mail is the best protection. The only type of emailing I do is for official confirmation of log on accounts and for receiving billing notices. But I don't write any thing personal in emails to send it to others. For the holidays I snail mail a card and send short letters to friends and families. I don't do any personal texting either. All my calls are screened by voice mail unless it is from someone I want to talk to on my very small contact list. YMMV. IMHO.

[Spazito]

15. LOL, this is one time I actually believe him...

He is the epitome of a troglodyte, a person who is regarded as being deliberately ignorant or old-fashioned.

[Zambero]

16. So he's illiterate?

Nothing to ashamed of really. He still has staff and John McCain to cover for him.

[n2doc]

17. What about your carrier pidgeon network, Sen. Graham?

And we demand your newfangled telegraph messages, even if they are in Morse Code.

[bigtree]

18. lame

julie, just ‏@vintagegoddess 7m7 minutes ago

old man shouting at the clouds...

[UTUSN]

20. That explains his constant disgorging via the media cameras and mics. n/t

[KittyWampus]

26. There are some truly great responses in this thread. Yours is one!

[onethatcares]

21. oh gaud, just what we needed

more proof that the republican party is stuck in the 60s, the 1860s.

[pnwmom]

22. Which puts him way behind my mother and all her 80+ year old friends. n/t

[joeybee12]

23. This is one time the POS probably isn't lying...those in his age group, closeted homosexual

born in the 1940's, really don't use technology that much.

[dsc]

47. what on God's green earth does being a homosexual

in or out of the closet have to do with using or not using email. That is frankly downright offensive.

[Runningdawg]

24. LOL

I bet he claims to never masturbate also.

[Agnosticsherbet]

28. We should all use the Contact Linsdesy Graham by Email Page...

and ask him to clarify his positoin.

I am sure that he has people to do his emailing for him.

[leveymg]

29. Lindsey has been hacked, anyway.

I suspect it first happened around 7th Grade in boarding school.

[spanone]

31. i'll bet his office emails on his behalf just like every other senator

he's almost lying.

[DebJ]

33. Just checked his age and he is only 5 months older than me....

he just acts like he's 200 years older

[edhopper]

34. The proper way to communicate

Is to write a note on lilac scented paper and delivered by your man-servent on a mule.

[LeftyMom]

37. I have it on impeccable authority that a prominent state-level dem here

(who no longer holds office but still has a ton of pull) uses never uses email because "the e stands for evidence." He's older than Lindsay and undoubtedly set in his ways, but if you've got a whiff of crookedness about you writing things down is a bad habit best avoided.

And they're both of an era where correspondence is what the secretary is for.

I'm sure Graham's motives are similar.

[Mnpaul]

43. or he could be like that guy that used to email Stephanie Miller

he can't figure out how to type in the big bo message area)

[former9thward]

41. Bill Clinton Still Doesn’t Use Email

If Hillary Clinton’s emails are eventually cracked open, don’t expect to see any juicy correspondence with her husband—or any correspondence at all. Bill Clinton doesn’t use email.

The former president, who does regularly use Twitter TWTR -3.68%, has sent a grand total of two emails during his entire life, both as president, says Matt McKenna, his spokesman. After leaving office, Mr. Clinton established his own domain that staff use–@presidentclinton.com. But Mr. Clinton still doesn’t use email himself, Mr. McKenna said.

As president, Mr. Clinton’s first email was a message to John Glenn, the former senator and astronaut who in 1998 was making a return trip to space. Mr. Glenn wrote Mr. Clinton, and the president replied. “Hillary and I had a great time at the launch,” Mr. Clinton wrote in his note. “We are very proud of you and the entire crew, and a little jealous.”

Later, the laptop he used was sold for some $60,000.

His other email was to U.S. troops serving in the Adriatic.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. He's still trying to get that telegraph thingy down

As soon as he figures out Morse code.

[Generic Brad]

45. And he is proud of that?

That should be a source of shame.

[Rex]

46. BULLSHIT!

[Marr]

48. WOW. Reminds me of Bush Sr. in the supermarket.

He marvelled at the grocery scanner like it was new technology, though they'd been a staple feature of supermarket checkouts for many years.

These people are so deeply ensconced in their little privilege bubbles, it's like they're living in a different decade. I know plenty of people Graham's age who have become perfectly comfortable using email, because they had to. They actually do things.
