Why can’t McCain e-mail? Boston Globe explained it in 2000

Earlier today, Barack Obama’s campaign released an ad attacking John McCain for not knowing how to send an e-mail. Their crack research team apparently never heard of Google or Lexis-Nexis, but Jonah Goldberg does. He discovers why McCain doesn’t use a keyboard — his torturers made sure he couldn’t. The Boston Globe reported it eight years ago:

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.

The Obabi camp are a bunch of dirtbags that need their collective clocks cleaned.

Wow talk about a “personal” attack. That’s incredible. I wonder if he’s trying to get McCain to lose his temper.

[Scarchin]

Even before learning this, I was stunned that nObama’s campaign was going down this path.

I know quite a few older women who struggle with or don’t use e-mail and computers. I think this ad will only push them towards McCain.

Dopes.

This is a “plouf” moment. To “Plouf a campaign is the same as a “Clymer”.

What a bunch of ass wipes.

Well, there's a disqualifier right there. How can a man be President and be unable to throw out the first ball at a game?

Oops, once again, Obama’s attacks come out as shallow and petty when the reality comes out. Change we can believe in?
