ā€œWe have the most technologically savvy president in the history of the country,ā€ Graham told the Examiner. ā€œHow’s that working out?ā€

Pretty damn good. Too bad he can’t have a third term.

In the photo used in this article it seems like Lindsey has dentures. Can anyone confirm this?

I’m going to cut the guy some slack and give him some credit for not engaging in the latest technology that sprouts up. I know, e-mail is not the latest technology, but for a guy his age, and especially for an old white man from the deep South, everything post-1960 is pretty new and scary. I’ve lost my temper a few times for my father’s failure to learn how to use a cell phone. However, i. myself, absolutely refuse to use twitter, or flikr, or facebook, or friendface, or redit, or any other so-called social media device that allow us to remain unsociably seperated from each other, while still enabling us to say stupid shit to the entire world that we wish we could take back. Everyone has their own pesonal thresholds for the use and embrace of technology for communications. Graham is certainly not the smartest kid on the block, but if he did use the latest techno-gizmo-gadget, he’d quickly find himself in a lot more trouble, PDQ. I may not agree with his refusal to use emial, but i respect his decision not to use it. Every single word that goes digital lasts forever. I think a few more of his Republican colleagues should follow suit and cease using all media to spew their venom to the world. This wold be a much better world if we didn’t have to listen to the words that come out of their mouths.

ā€œBut I don’t e-mail. I’ve tried not to have a system where I can just say the first dumb thing that comes to my mindā€¦ā€

No kidding. He obviously saves all of those for interviews.

ā€œIf she could do it again, she’d do the Lindsey Graham thing, and not use email,ā€ he said.

I sincerely doubt she’d ā€œdo the Lindsey Graham thingā€.

Tech savvy is like the new wave thing. There is no stopping it and we aren’t going back to old school, which about every six months now is even older school.

Graham likes the security of phone calls I guess, which is pretty damned ironic from a George Bush neo-con. And texts, on your phone line-hellooo, are way more secure than talking or emailing on your phone, Doh!

Face it, this idiot just said the first dumb thing that came to his mind and it was that he didn’t say the first dumb thing that comes to his mind.
He’s dumb and he just proved it, then expounded to sink it in.

I’ve tried not to have a system where I can just say the first dumb thing that comes to my mind.

His non-system seems to be not working with respect to his frequent visits to cable news networks.

Does Lindsey use a government iPad or personal iPad. Will he release the text messages (and photos) he’s received that are job-related, and the audio recordings of his phone call replies? How about his note pads on which he drafts his well-reasoned comments?

I don’t e-mail. I’ve tried not to have a system where I can just say the first dumb thing that comes to my mind.

Uh huh. How’s that working out for you?

So he’s giving us sloppy seconds on all that dumb stuff he does say?

You really think he can count that high?

How is one an effective JAG officer without using email? Or is that a fiction or just an honorary position?

I’ve got iPads, and I play around… I’m trying to jealously guard myself…and not engage in chat all day

Wow, the poster who predicted Lindsey’s Grindr use scored a direct hit it appears…

It’s working out great! Thanks for asking, you technically and intellectually-challenged clown.

Oops! Now you’ve revealed the senator’s secret recipe for turd-polishing.

Lindsey waits for the fourth or fifth dumb thing that comes to his mind. Then he goes on Meet the Press.
