'McCain Can't E-Mail' Claim Not Only a Lie . . .

. . . It's Irrelevant to the Presidency

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.

As a computer geek and a patriot, I am disgusted with the Apple Computer fan Barack Obama who feels justified in sneering at John McCain and the disabilities he has to deal with due to his service to our nation. Like the meaningless ads that Apple runs for their computers, saying little about their own computers but ridiculing their competition, most Apple computer fans sneer at anyone who is not an Apple user. Obama's snarky ad claiming McCain couldn't read email was simply, like much about Obama, a complete lie. Don't hold your breath waiting for the MSM to bother mentioning this.
