President Clinton's Two Emails, Now On Display

from the gee,-thanks... dept

You may remember that soon after President Bush took office, he told people that he could no longer email anyone since any of his emails were likely to become public at some point. Well, it turns out that his predecessor, President Clinton, has now made his own emails public as part of his library. Of course, the emails are not that interesting. There are a grand total of two emails. Yes, that's right: two. Even better, the first email is a "test" email to make sure his email account worked. The second, which was apparently created with the help of staffers, was sent to John Glenn while he was up in the space shuttle. Meanwhile, though, his staff was pretty busy on the email front, sending out approximately 40 million emails.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

    Yes, but apparently he was a wiz with ICQ, and notorious for opening his conversations with such lines as:
    - what R U wearing?
    - cigar time?
    - meet me in the oval orifice?
    etc.
