This right here’s a head scratcher.
Senator potential GOP presidential candidate Lindsey Graham (R-SC) proudly proclaimed that he’s, and I quote, “never sent” an email. The only person I know in the entire world who has never sent an email is my 86-year-old grandmother, who has never had a job other than World’s Greatest Grandmother and Queen of Fort Lauderdale. Love you, Nana.
Regardless, Lindsey Graham – excuse me, SITTING UNITED STATES SENATOR AND PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Lindsey Graham – proudly declared that he is neither a member of the 21st century nor the late 20th century.
From Fox News:
Graham, a Republican, acknowledged Sunday that he has never sent an email, either on his congressional or a private account.
“I don’t email,” Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “You can have every email I have ever sent. I’ve never sent one.”
Graham has for months publicly considered seeking the Republican presidential nomination, amid a large field of potential candidates. And this weekend, he took a significant step toward a campaign by joining seven other likley GOP candidates at the Iowa Agricultural Summit.
Man. Not a single email. This is obviously a dig at Hillary Clinton’s recent email fiasco, but to claim that you have never even so much as sent a single email in your lifetime takes serious balls. We’ll see how this story holds up as the GOP presidential candidacy race heats up.
Like Michael Scott once said, “Real business is done on paper. Write that down.” I guess I’ll say “to each his own” in response to this, but I don’t even know how someone could go two decades without sending one SINGLE email. That’s impossible, right? It has to be. Not even one little “k cu soon” or “let’s meet tomo pm.”
Dude just straight up doesn’t believe in evil computers..

What do I love? I love happy hour, a good golf tan, and getting moderately drunk during dinner.

In looking at the presidential field on both sides of the aisle, I realize that we are so fucked as a country.
It’s bad. Hillary on one side and then Jeb or Ted Cruz for the GOP. Nightmare.
The ideal situation for me would be the dems nominating Uncle Joe and the repubs nominating Donald Trump. Purely for entertainment value, of course. The country is fucked no matter what.
I mean, why does EVERYONE have to be an insane person? I used to love politics, but then over the last 10 years or so, we’ve devolved into a society that lacks any sort of common sense. Everything is HOT TAEKS on issues that have been debated incessantly for decades. What your opinion on abortion is, really doesn’t matter much in the grand scope of things because there are much greater issues to deal with. It’s not like the president is going to line up pregnant women in the rose garden to perform them.
Anywho, vote for me in 2036. DICK JOKES FOR ALL!
It’s reactionary bullshit and extremism because of the recession and the election of a black dude. It’ll calm down after Obama leaves and the economy continues to gain steam.
Vote Jeb in for the dynasty. Democrat heads will explode, totally worth it.
I like Jeb, but he’s probably too liberal to win the nomination.
The Republicans need someone who leans more liberal to have a chance at actually winning.
Because that worked out so well for Mitt, right?
Oh and don’t forget John McCain. And Bob Dole.
Who would you have wanted out of 2012’s field? Herman “9/9/9” Cain? Newt “To the Moon, Alice!” Gingerich? Rick “His last name is enough of a nickname” Santorum?
The one person in the entire country I would love to see run for president is Trey Gowdy from SC. It’ll probably never happen, but it should.
1. Lindsey Graham has only said he’s thinking about running for President. He’s not what anyone who knows about this stuff would call a presidential hopeful yet. Ask RushToRehab, she used to be in politics.
2. Lindsey Graham admittedly hates free speech —> hates the Bill of Rights —> hates America.
3. Stand with Rand!
I was big fan of his dad. I’m not 100% sold on Rand.
Oh Jesus, not this again.

According to FiveThirtyEight, 9% of Americans have never sent an email, with reasons ranging from “I don’t have a computer” to “too old to learn” to “afraid of spam/virus/spyware.”
This is one of those instances where he attacked someone else, but really only hurt himself…
Lindsey Graham’s voice literally sounds like he has his balls in a vice.
Yes. We get it. He’s never sent a single email. Now try to say something witty…
