John McCain...e-mail...and the end of Barack Obama

The Corner on National Review Online

Yep. The day after 9/11, as part of its "get tough" makeover, the Obama campaign is mocking John McCain for not using a computer, without caring why he doesn't use a computer. From the AP story about the computer illiterate ad:

"Our economy wouldn't survive without the Internet, and cyber-security continues to represent one our most serious national security threats," [Obama spokesman Dan] Pfeiffer said. "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail."

Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "extraordinary." The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000):

McCain gets emotional at the mention of military families needing food stamps or veterans lacking health care. The outrage comes from inside: McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.

Way to go, Obama. Can't do enough research before you attack someone to know that your insulting a man for not using e-mail when the reason he can't use e-mail is because he can't use a keyboard because his hands don't work well enough because his captors beat him so badly while he was imprisoned while serving his country!! Idiot!

How about you just go back to organizing your community and pretending to be the second coming. This is getting ridiculous!

By the way, a friend of mine asked me today. How come Barack Obama's too stupid to fly a plane. George W. Bush and John McCain both know how to fly fighter jets...
