Spoof Of Obama's Ad That Ridicules McCain For Being Old And Unable To Use E-mail

ABC's Jake Tapper, a guy that has been doing good work reporting on ABC's website in a pretty fair and balanced fashion, looked into why McCain does not use e-mail. He wrote that "McCain isn’t comfortable talking about this — and the McCain campaign discouraged me from writing about this — but the reason the aged Arizonan doesn’t use a computer or send email is because of his war wounds. I realize some of the nastier liberals in the blogosphere will see this as McCain once again 'playing the POW card,' but it’s simply a fact: typing on a regular keyboard for any sustained period of time bothers McCain physically. He can type, he occasionally does type, but in general the injuries he sustained as a POW — ones that make it impossible for him to raise his arms high enough to comb his hair — mean that small tasks make his shoulders ache, so he tries to avoid any repetitive exercise." It is truly remarkable that Obama had the audacity to include the attack about McCain not using e-mail in his silly ad. The Obama campaign could have and should have done the very minimal research to find out why he does not use e-mail before including that nonsense. That the campaign did not is nothing short of inexcusable.
