Peeking Inside the Engine of the Straight Talk Express
Monday, March 20th, 2006
Fortune recently conducted some interesting interviews with a dozen newsmakers, asking them for the secrets to success and productivity in our fast-moving, high-tech world. One of the interviewees was everyone’s favorite wild-card Senator, John McCain.
According to McCain, “The hardest thing to do is to establish priorities.” Tell us about it! Should we blog about that raunchy Craigslist ad, or that stupid CNN.com headline?
Here’s the most intriguing part of Ellen McGirt’s interview with Sen. McCain:
I read my e-mails, but I don’t write any. I’m a Neanderthal — I don’t even type. I do have the rudimentary capability of calling up some Web sites, like the New York Times online, that sort of stuff. No laptop. No PalmPilot.
Reading emails, but not responding — would that we all could get away with that strategy! (Yes, we know, we never responded to that email of yours from three weeks ago. Please forgive us — you have no idea what our inbox looks like…)
So McCain doesn’t email; but maybe he uses IM? We bet his screenname is “maverick243.”
After the jump, a few more fun facts about how John McCain stays on top of the world.
