Um…not the most hard hitting ad I’ve ever seen. Oh look McCain is old, he’s like your grandfather who can’t use email or the computer. *Yawn*(via)Let’s hope that is stupid enough to use email if he is elected because it will be a lot of fun to read them once they’ve been leaked to the public after they’ve been subpoenaed (that’s why Bush stopped using email when he became president even though he loved to email):BTW, if the worse you can say about McCain is that he doesn’t use email, then he must not be that bad.Oh and another BTW, the reason McCain doesn’t use a computer:

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. Friends marvel at McCain’s encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He’s an avid fan – Ted Williams is his hero – but he can’t raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

Pretty insensitive of Obama to make an issue over someone who can’t even use a keyboard. I guess Obama, et al. will be belittling the handicap this election cycle?Update:OK, this makes it even worse because it’s a known fact that McCain reads his email every night with his wife:

In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.

Lying about the handicap! Pretty slimy. Is this change we can believe in? Is this what a post-partisan campaign looks like?Updated yet again: Politico thinks that Obama won the day for the ads he released today. I have to think that they don’t really know why McCain can’t use the keyboard otherwise they are pretty cruel to approve of an ad that makes fun of a guy who can’t use a keyboard because he was tortured by the enemy for five years.
