The archives of the Bill Clinton presidential library will contain 39,999,998 e-mails by the former president's staff and two by the man himself. "The only two he sent," Skip Rutherford, president of the Clinton Presidential Foundation, which is raising money for the library, said Monday.
One of them may not actually qualify for electronic communication because it was a test to see if the commander in chief knew how to push the button on an e-mail.
Former Ohio Sen. John Glenn has the distinction of being the first American to orbit the Earth and the only person to receive an e-mail written by Clinton when he was in office.
The e-mail was sent with the help of Clinton staffers to the space shuttle while it was in orbit and Glenn was a part of the crew. It praised Glenn for his return to space after almost 40 years.
Rutherford said Clinton, who relished the chance to speak to voters, did not make time to send e-mails, even though Internet usage exploded during his presidency.
"He's not a techno-klutz. I don't think President (George W.) Bush sends e-mails, either," Rutherford said of Clinton.
"Most of the decisions in the Oval Office are made through decision memos," Rutherford said.
The 40 million e-mails of the Clinton administration are almost exclusively comprised of memos, notes and correspondence among his aides and cabinet members.
Then as now, Rutherford added, Clinton was more apt to write personal notes or telephone than communicate through e-mail.

This of course does not count all the erased, shredded and deleted emails by Clinton and his staff.

the only person to receive an e-mail written by Clinton when he was in office.I'm guessing John Gotti didn't send a lot of emails when he was in "office", either...

Clinton was not an idiot. He knew instinctively that it was best to avoid e-mail while engaging in multiple felonies.

This of course does not count all the erased, shredded and deleted emails by Clinton and his staff. Obviously, no one on his staff told Slick that he could get spammed with all kinds of unsolicited email for porn sites if he used his email enough.

His VP invents the Internet, and Bill only sends 2 emails?
To: TommyDale
Yeah, but his record on "phone sex" probably puts all others totally to shame... I'm surprised Skip Rutherford didn't tout Bubba's accomplishments on this notable trendy pop culturisms.

Actually, he hit "click here" on a bigger penis spam.

I get E-Mails from Bush everyday!

I had Forgotten about Clinton's PHONE SEX!!! What an Immature little man he was....uh...still is.
To: sirshackleton
Yeah, he was smart enough to only get caught with 2 emails, but Israeli intelligence intercepted and recorded his cell phone calls with Monica.

"He's not a techno-klutz. I don't think President (George W.) Bush sends e-mails, either," Rutherford said of Clinton.Always trying to deflect his failings on others.

White House E-mails? I think of AlGore and his treachery---"...is sure to fuel speculation concerning the vice president's recent admissions that his office "lost" or otherwise failed to capture about a year's worth of emails under subpoena covering the 1997 to 1998 time periods..." 6-20-00 Insight Magazine.

There was also a mysterious e-mail that showed up in the White House e-mail "In" box back in late 1998, from a sender named "Nostril-Dommas" whose identity could not be determined even using Al Gore's best Internet skills . . . It's called
Quatrain #69:
Between the bushes of the Lone Star,
A hollow man arose from a park of trailers.
A hideous witch at his side,
The head of a rotund woman on his lap.
