Bush Doesn’t Do E-Mail

HeadlineApr 15, 2005

President Bush said on Thursday he does not send e-mail, not even to his twin daughters, because he fears “my personal stuff” would be made public. In a meeting with the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Bush volunteered his aversion to e-mail during a discussion on whether his administration is sufficiently responsive to requests made under the Freedom of Information Act. Bush said he avoids email because “everything is investigated in Washington” and as a result “we’re losing a lot of history, not just with me, but with other presidents as well.”
