The Tyranny Of Email: Hillary knows best

hillary-and-email

With the latest scuffle over Secretary Hillary Clinton’s server and her long-ago admitted-to poor choices in that regard, we are hearing about emails again. Not Hillary’s, but someone who wrote to someone who is close to her. We think. We don’t know, the FBI isn’t sure. Rumor has it that Anthony Weiner is somehow involved, a man with shockingly (possibly criminally) poor choices when it comes to sending things out into cyberspace.

We don’t know what the latest emails contain, they may be duplicates. What we heard from the FBI is simply that they exist. But it has stirred up Donald Trump and his supporters, that we know. We’ll see whether or not there is any there there; Mr. Trump, a man with plenty of his own there there, is certain there is.

Remember the photo of Secretary Clinton on her blackberry and her dark glasses, and many of us were proud of a woman in her fifties being so hip (and still is)? Now I bet she wishes all along she was a ludite.

Emails are burdensome to all of us. But our burdens are nothing compared to Secretary Clinton’s email headaches.

 

Live Drawing History: Hillary Clinton and the DNC in Philly

29I was thrilled to be at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia last week, live tweet drawing for CBS News and The New Yorker.  Below are a selection of some of my drawings, but you can see more on newyorker.com here. I wrote about the experience,  and posted some drawings on Medium, here. And CBS did a video of me and slide show here. Every morning, I drew the hosts and guests of CBS This Morning.  The greatest thrill was to be on the floor during the roll call, and also when Hillary gave her speech. It was emotional, and lots of fun.

 

Live Tweet Drawing At The DNC!

unnamed-4It’s with great enthusiasm that I can announce I will be going to the Democratic Convention in Philadelphia to live tweet draw what I see for The New Yorker and CBS This Morning.  The CBS morning show will have me on set each morning to draw the guests and hosts, then I will wander the halls and street (if the heat doesn’t get me) to draw stuff and tweet it out. So follow me on twitter @lizadonnelly for live updates. Also follow @NewYorker and @CBSThisMorning accounts, too!
