SENATOR SAYS HE’S “NEVER SENT AN EMAIL”
|| By FITSNEWS || There are more than three billion email accounts in the world – sending an estimated 300 billion emails each and every day (the vast majority of which are, you guessed it, “spam”).
Who doesn’t have one of those email accounts, though? U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.
During an appearance with Chuck Todd on NBC’s “Meet the Press” (a.k.a. Graham’s home away from home), the warmongering “neoconservative” addressed the email scandal enveloping former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton with a bizarre admission.
“You can have every email I’ve ever sent – I’ve never sent one,” Graham told Todd. “I don’t know what that makes me.”
Well …
We already know what Graham is: A special interest whore, fiscal liberal, Obama abettor, neo-fascist, friend of terrorists, thief of your liberty, fraud and hypocrite.
But what descriptor should we add to the list in light of this bizarre admission? Troglodyte? Or perhaps we should consider him the new poster child for Washington, D.C.’s disturbing disconnection from real life.
Or, national laughingstock …

Graham arrived in the U.S. Congress in 1993 – right around the time email usage was proliferating among the general public. Is he seriously saying that after 22 years in Washington, D.C., he’s never sent a single email?
That’s kinda scary, people …
Of course leave it to Philip Blum – an establishment apologist for The Washington Post – to come riding to Graham’s rescue.
“Graham’s office clearly has an e-mail system, and his staff certainly uses it,” Blum wrote. “And he, unlike your grandmother or someone who can’t afford a computer at home, has people with him all the time who can pass along information as needed.”
Graham “can get by without e-mailing,” Blum concludes, adding that “given the sorts of e-mails we all get, our response might more legitimately be envy than scorn.”
Right …
Of course this is another embarrassment for the chronically backward Palmetto State, and the height of irony given Graham’s position as chairman of the Senate Judiciary’s subcommittee on “privacy, technology and the law.”

He didn’t say he doesn’t have an email account, just that he’s never sent one. He does have an account though you can’t use your regular email client to email him: http://lgraham.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Contact.LandingPage
Colonel I’m calling BS. I just find it impossible that an attorney, a JAG officer, and also a US Senator – has never sent an email. Honestly – I think he’s full of it.
I think his reference was only to his official senate account. I don’t think he meant that he’s never sent an email. He definitely has a USAF account and he has to have used it.
BS again. I bet the Senate IT guys issue you an email address the first day you’re there. And I bet he’s used it. From your point though, I wonder how much official use that USAF email gets.
He has to have an address but that doesn’t mean he uses it. I have DoD addresses as both a civilian and a Soldier but I never send mail from my .mil account. Both accounts are forwarded to my civ account so any response I send comes from my civ account. Hence “…I never use my Soldier email…” a true statement but only borderlinely so.
He wants us to think he’s an idiot – he’s appealing to his base.
I thought he was well connected with his boy friend from the rear..
I think “national laughing stock” pretty well sums up the opinion of Grahamnasty among most folks. I just hate how it reflects on SC.
And, John McCain does not use email, either.

[Excerpt]
“Well, you know, Andrea, you and I have had the pleasure of knowing each other for a number of years,” McCain told the MSNBC host. “And you know that from time to time I get a little emotional.”
“I’m afraid that if I was emailing, given my solid, always calm temperament that I might email something that I might regret,” he continued, adding that he prefers to use the phone and Twitter.
Walk in lockstep w/ what the FITS-Liberal-Tarians tell you to do…or they attack….
Not much freedom if you adhere to the Liberal-Tarians, is there???….
Doesn’t watch the news or read a newspaper unless he’s on it or on it
You forgot, Light in the Loafers
Why did I first read that headline as “disinfected”?
“‘You can have every email I’ve ever sent – I’ve never sent one,’ Graham told Todd. “I don’t know what that makes me.’”
I know: A fossil.
That is one ashy finger.
I think the Senator is correct – “he” has never sent an email
There is a “Good Fairy” that works for him and “she” sends all his emails
In addition to forwarding and receiving all the Senator’s emails the “Good Fairy” also sprinkles each and every email with “here is your daily dose of bullshit dust” just for good measure
Yep, that’s how it goes down in the Shire
What makes you think his “good fairy” is a she?
fixed it,he,she
thanks
I don’t call email “email” either, I use gmail and call it such.
Lindsey is parsing words because he uses “gay male”, so the subpoena’s won’t work until someone gets wise & spells “mail” and “male” in the papers.
Who knows, he might abbreviate it all and call it “g-male” too.
That ain’t the only think he ain’t never done. Just sayin’…
I wonder if he’s ever watched a television.
Well, he is smart enough not to put classified State Dept. info in an email.
Little Lindsay is a stupid Traitor.
