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.
