The House GOP doesn't know how to use email
File this one under humor. Jonathan Kaplan and Hans Nichols of The Hill call this article "Snafu@mail.house.gov":
A miscue by a member of Majority Whip Roy Blunt’s (R-Mo.) staff has scattered the private e-mail addresses of several dozen House Republicans far and wide.If they can't figure out how to properly send an email, I'm not sure I want them running the country.
Instead of concealing them in the blind-copy window of a widely distributed e-mail, the staffer put them in the “To” window. As a result, hundreds of staffers and The Hill obtained the e-mail addresses and now know who chose to go by the monikers “Thucydides,” (Rep. Richard Baker [La.]) “TheBigA,” (Rep. Ander Crenshaw [Fla.]) and “Banjoplayer” (Rep. Joe Knollenberg [Mich.]).
Rep. Jim Gerlach (R-Pa.), who doubled up his old college football number as his e-mail name (3030), said he would decide whether to change it “depending on how many new friends I make as a result of this disclosure.”
