Senator on TECHNOLOGY SUBCOMMITTEE has never sent an e-mail.

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."

"Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd had asked Graham whether he had a private email account because Graham said he wanted to know if other cabinet secretaries besides Clinton used private accounts during their tenure. Graham said he did have a few questions about Clinton's email.

"Did she communicate on behalf of Clinton Foundation as secretary of state?" Graham said. "Did she call the terrorist attack in Benghazi a terrorist attack in real time? I want to know."

So not only do we have another "Benghazi!!!!111!one" red herring attack, we have a senator, who is on the technology subcommittee, who outright refuses to use something as simple as e-mail. Isn't that a job for someone who, I don't know, understands technology?

This is fucking disgraceful.

I am 100% unsurprised by this.
Quote from: Jordan Duram
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

The party's name is the Democratic Party. It has been since 1830. Please spell correctly.

Why would ANYBODY put a backwards, non-technological rube in a TECHNOLOGY SUBCOMMITTEE?!

It's like hiring a pastry chef to do brain surgery! It's STUPID!

I would LOVE to know what the GOP is trying to do with this sort of thing? I mean, hiring a geezer who doesn't know an email from a toenail to head up a TECHNOLOGY SUBCOMMITTEE!!!!

Aren't these the same people on an Environmental committee even though they know nothing of the environment?  Forget the War on women, Religion, Christmas, etc.  The real war is on Science and Reality. 

Guess that means this idiot has already won next reelection.

The surgery might not go well, but I bet they could make some tasty pastries from the brain.

And seriously, this guy has NEVER sent an e-mail in his life? nowadays, one of the least complicated technological procedures on the planet? For fuck sakes, are we even sure he doesn't still think computers are run by paper tape and punch cards?

There should at least be some baseline to pass before you get on a committee like that. Okay, so you can't re-write the Linux kernel. that's fine. but can you at least ask your secretary or whatever to explain e-mail to you? shit ain't that hard.

I know that the GOP hires guys like this for some reason but WHY?! What would these guys gain by hiring a total tech-noob to a tech-based position.

Oh I love this.  I truly love this.  It shows just how out of touch and out of reality the GOP really is.  Sadly, this is a mark of pride for this man.  He has no idea what it is he's being shown just that he wants to see it.  And the Benhazi stuff?  HAH!

Ironbite-they really wanna turn this into a "thing" despite it will never ever be a "thing".
