Remember when the giggling classes were in full smarm because John McCain didn’t have an IPhone (or whatever it was that aroused their shrill ire)?

Ahem:

Both outgoing and incoming [White House email] are out, the result, an aide explained, of an outage with the Outlook server. The aide said the outage goes beyond the press shop. The first lady’s office is also without e-mail, as are other offices.

There was no indication when the e-mail service would return. For the moment, the press office is making even more use of the loudspeaker in the briefing room.

And the executive orders that President Obama signed this morning were photocopied and are sitting on a table outside the briefing room.

I bet their websites are written in Fortran.
