Yep the comments are entertaining. I also liked the "don't be an imbecile"!
Only those with half a brain. Sandy Berger can't stuff EMails in his socks.
Now that would be Bill Clinton. George Bush is the most leaked upon chief executive in history. Thanks to the treason lobby of Congressional Democrats and the NY Times we know more about what the Bush Administration is up to then any other US Administration in History.
Same reason people don't keep diaries anymore. It will be drug out by some subpoena and be used against you.
They have e-mail and read it, but they send hard copy. There is good reason for that, probably several good reasons.
Not that any sensitive secrets would EVER get leaked or his correspondence get hacked...s/
He has been able to keep far more 'under cover' than perhaps any other Pres. - One major reason: Western White House.
He conducts a lot of business there, has meetings with world leaders there - far from the possibility of listening devices....he has hundreds of wide open acres. No one can fly over, no one can get close enough to the ranch house = to use listening devices....
It infuriates them and they have always tried to negate his doing business there by intimating he's "always on vacation in Crawford."
We have seen more than enough traitorous leaking of state secrets - but far less than would have been but for the Western White House.
(Remember, daddy Bush was once director of the CIA - he would know what methods of spying the enemy would use - including the dangerous enemies within...
In building the new Western White House compound, they did an end run around them =
Enough of them are to be running the Capiotal Times out of business, that's for sure.
I wonder if, by "preparing for the digital age", they mean public tax dollars to support failing newspapers...???
Bubba Clinton sent only 2 emails during his regime. Did the Capitol Times write an editorial about how stupid BJ was?

Clinton’s Gift to Internet Age - Only 2 E-Mails
The archives of the Bill Clinton presidential library will contain 39,999,998 e-mails by the former president’s staff and two by the man himself.
“The only two he sent,” Skip Rutherford, president of the Clinton Presidential Foundation, which is raising money for the library, said Monday.
One of them may not actually qualify for electronic communication because it was a test to see if the commander in chief knew how to push the button on an e-mail.
Former Ohio Sen. John Glenn has the distinction of being the first American to orbit the Earth and the only person to receive an e-mail written by Clinton when he was in office.
The e-mail was sent with the help of Clinton staffers to the space shuttle while it was in orbit and Glenn was a part of the crew. It praised Glenn for his return to space after almost 40 years.
Rutherford said Clinton, who relished the chance to speak to voters, did not make time to send e-mails, even though Internet usage exploded during his presidency.
“He’s not a techno-klutz. I don’t think President (George W.) Bush sends e-mails, either,” Rutherford said of Clinton.
“Most of the decisions in the Oval Office are made through decision memos,” Rutherford said.
The 40 million e-mails of the Clinton administration are almost exclusively comprised of memos, notes and correspondence among his aides and cabinet members
Then as now, Rutherford added, Clinton was more apt to write personal notes or telephone than communicate through e-mail.
"Hizzoner" Kwayme Kilpatrick, Mayor of Detroit, used text messaging. Have you seen what kind of trouble THAT caused him?
I used to know people who only had the option of dialup or satellite links a few years ago. Now all of them can get cable modems, and some can get DSL as well. It’s also dropped in price.
It’s hard to think of any urban or suburban location that can’t get a high-speed connection, and many can even get fiber now.
I do believe this “crisis” is a figment of some lib’s imagination.
It is comparing apples to oranges.
England and South Korea are geographically small countries with their populations centered mostly in large urban areas. The United States is a large country with its populations spread out all over the country.
An entirely different situation.
Al Gore created the internet, didn’t he build it right?
They are just mad because they have no permanent record of his communications to waive in front of a grand jury.
While I'm not down on reading newspapers, if they're reading the NY Times, the LA Times or the Seattle Times they don't get a pass from me.
Getting your news from teeeheeeveee is simply stupid, as I figured out almost 30 years ago, real soon after I started watching it.
Not using e-mail in today's political climate: Smart.
The rug lies honestly.
He was also the only senator to sell his self like a two dollar whore to get the chance to return to space. I had such high regard for Glenn until he let all of the campaign finance conspirators off the hook for one last look at the earth in the rearview mirror.
When I lived in Madison, we always called this newspaper “Das Kapital Times”.
Yup. Algore also created Global Warming.

But, but, I thought the Al Gore tax, which I am still paying, was supposed to provide everyone with broadband.
