The latest attack on Senator McCain from the Senator Obama camp claims McCain cannot send an email, still. Did they bother to check out why or just attack blindly?

The AP ran a story on the ad claiming, “He admits he still doesn’t know how to use a computer, can’t send an e-mail.”

In 2000, the Boston Globe ran a story on McCain’s inability to perform simple computer functions, saying, “McCain’s severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes.”

Is McCain clueless about a computer or the Internet? A February 2000 Slate article made the assertion, “Six months ago, no one would have pegged McCain as the most cybersavvy of this year’s crop of candidates. At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch and because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard. But McCain’s job as chairman of the Senate commerce committee forced him to learn about the Internet early on, and young Web entrepreneurs such as Jerry Yang and Jeff Bezos fascinate him. Well before he announced his exploratory committee, McCain had assimilated the notion that the Web could be vital to the kind of insurgent, anti-establishment campaign he wanted to run.”

Perhaps Obama’s people should try wiping off the lipstick from their pig over this one.
