I managed to catch a short segment of today’s press conference called by Hillary I suspect in an attempt to defuse the self inflicted e-mail controversy.  What got my attention were the examples offered up as the types of personal e-mails that would not be disclosed.  The first two examples seemed benign enough.  But the third, juxtaposed to the others, was just downright weird.

I doubt anyone is really interested in reading the behind the scenes melodrama around Chelsea’s wedding let alone the tedious planning details.  And any e-mails about her mother’s funeral should certainly be off limits.  But then, with a wry smile, she delivered the bombshell. No personal e-mails concerning her yoga routines would be released.  Now that was a huge disappointment.  I’ve been desperately waiting to read those e-mails.  Darn!

Given this was a carefully scripted performance, one has to ask why she choose this as an example of the type of personal content that wouldn’t be disclosed?  Yoga positions?  Really?  Really!  There is a cynical part of me wondering if this was an attempt to appeal a certain segment of the electorate, oh let’s say… the yoga vote?   Perhaps she had http://yogavotes.org/about-us/ in mind.

I did not have textual relations with that server…

Apparently I wasn’t the only one amused.  The twitter storm has commenced and it is hilarious.   https://twitter.com/yogabyhillary

And the contention that she used a personal e-mail account for both personal and state business because she didn’t want to carry two phones – someone might want to show her how to use more than one e-mail account on the same phone.  I’ve got three e-mail accounts and it never crossed my mind that I would need three different phones.  Well, not since circa 2004.
