While busily attempting to make hay of EmailGhaziGate earlier this week, SC Senator Lindsey Graham made the astonishing claim that he’s never, ever sent an email. Now he’s explained why:
“What I do, basically, is that I’ve got iPads, and I play around,” Graham told reporters this weekend, according to Bloomberg News. “But 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.”
The mind. It reels! Also, Graham’s excuse for eschewing email doesn’t make much sense because he has an account on Twitter, which seems designed to facilitate the global publication of stupid, unfiltered, context-free thoughts that result in massive misunderstandings and life-ruining pile-ons.
Maybe an aide runs it for him? And maybe he just never figured out the new-fangled email machine back in ’95 and has been waiting 20 years to make a virtue of that deficiency? Yeah, he’s “got iPads” alright, probably serving as trays to display his “at-home” cards.
ETA: Speaking of stupid, Erick Son of Erick posted a truly dimwitted response to the outrage over the 47 GOP Senators who beclowned themselves and America via an open letter designed to scuttle ongoing negotiations with the Iranians. TL;DR version: “I know you are, but what am I?”
But that’s not even the dumbest part: RedState has profanity rules! So Erickson titles his post “Tough Shiitake” and closes his screed with “Tough shiitake mushrooms for you.” Now that the dude who made “goat-fucking child molester” a famous insult is studyin’ up to be a preacher man, he’s got to forswear swear words.
But rather than consulting Mr. Thesaurus or extending Christian charity to ideological opponents, Erickson will follow the letter of the rule while violating its spirit. Erickson is exactly the kind of nasty, small-minded hypocrite who will thrive in an fundamentalist evangelical radio ministry, bilking little old ladies out of their Social Security checks while assuring them that Jeebus hates their enemies too. What an oat ducking file cholester!
