Of course nobody at the post ever deleted a personal email. Yup.sure.

Truly, truly boring.
Also, Suzy says “hi” and was wondering if you like her new pedi…

I’m guessing what this means is that she erased “kill Ambassador Stevens & three others” 30,000 times ?

Uhh… and this is news why? The Post also jeered that Obama was inviting in dirty ethnics to swamp virtuous Americans, just as one recent example. They are an extreme right rag. What do you expect them to say?
Meanwhile, where is the outrage at Jeb Bush’s release of his completely self-selected emails (for which he was hailed as transparent)? What about what gov’t officials say on the telephone, which isn’t recorded in any way… do we assume it’s all nefarious (no… only personal Clinton emails ever contained dirty stuff). Chuck Hagel used gmail for some official communications (!)… NBC discovered that then all-but ignored its own scoop (doesn’t fit “the narrative”).
Meanwhile, there’s no indication that voters give a crap about this ludicrously overhyped story. The media, as usual, is just reporting on its own reactions.

They could have used: “Hillary, The Dark Mistress of the Delete Key” At least it’s kinda Gothic sounding.

The New York Post…sigh…Alexander Hamilton is going to be waiting for Rupert Murdoch when he dies so he can beat the crap out of the man.

Improved Hilary: "You think–you REALLY think–that we communicate about matters of national security over email? That’s what you think we do? Anyone who thinks that should never be near the White House, Senate or Congress, even as a guest.
People in government accusing me of using email for anything important betray their ignorance or malice. They underestimate me terribly. They are tedious morons, insufferable hacks, and, at the very least, scary weak links."
But only if that is true.

What has happened to the world when the NY Post shows actual wit?

Yeah, a lot of people REALLY are that dumb; like the ones that read the “Post”.
And Vince Foster!
In other news, I’m reminded of a line from “Top Secret!”: “Klaus is a moron who gets all his information from the New York Post.”

How gleeful the wriggling knot of mindless press is when they know headlines are guaranteed for rank speculation and/or very little reporting.

It works better with a fake Brooklyn inflection:

Another observation from the Brit Novelist Christopher Fowler is apt. In “Ten Second Staircase”, one of his characters, a tabloid editor, considering the paper’s relationship to society says:
“The English [substitute Americans or just about any nation, really] are irrational creatures and ipso facto unintentionally hypocritical, we merely reflect their failed ability to appreciate their reduced moral status.”
A dysfunction wrapped in an addiction inside a delusion…

Captures the mentality of the crowd watching the lynch mob quite nicely
