| From NRO - Because we can't have too many sane people reminding us the Obama campaign is full of idiots: The day after 9/11, as part of its "get tough" makeover, the Obama campaign is mocking John McCain for not using a computer, without caring why he doesn't use a computer. From the AP story about the computer illiterate ad: "Our economy wouldn't survive without the Internet, and cyber-security continues to represent one our most serious national security threats," [Obama spokesman Dan] Pfeiffer said. "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail." What? The POTUS can't find anyone in all America to do that for him? Should the POTUS type and mail his own letters too? Well, I guess it depends on what you mean by "extraordinary." The reason he doesn't send email is that he can't use a keyboard because of the relentless beatings he received from the Viet Cong in service to our country. From the Boston Globe (March 4, 2000): 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. Emphasis added. In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor while being ignorant of what it's like to navigate New York's highways. Works for me. And I'm sure Mr. There are myriad reasons not to vote for Ptui. |

| #14 I think that at least a significant portion of the MSM will turn on Obama if this goes on much longer. When it becomes obvious that he's going down they'll try to salvage something of their reputations by ripping him apart. |

| #13 "expect to see more of the same, especially if the polls keep trending against [Obama]" I sincerely hope so, Mike. Disgusting as it is, McCain and Palin, being adults, can take it. Nobama, being a whiney-assed It's entertaining watching him implode, even if in so doing he and In fact, I'm pretty sure that was Governor Palin delivering the last shipment of fuel for the DNC backhoe fleet. :-D |

| #12 I'd really like to believe that Obama's staff is inept, and that's all that's behind this. But think about this for a second. You have the "flip Hillary the bird--oops, I was just scratching my ear" incident in the primaries. Then you have the lipstick on a pig thing. Now this. Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is deliberate action. I'm starting to come 'round to the sense that beneath that smooth, sophisticated, very polished exterior Obama, there's a truly nasty s.o.b. that sneaks out through the cracks now and again. If I'm right--I'd prefer not to be, I'd rather assume the best about people, even ones I'd crawl over broken glass to vote against--expect to see more of the same, especially if the polls keep trending against him. |

| #10 McCain should use that ad in his own ad blasting the shit out of Zero for being insensitive (and stupid - how hard is it to use google?) But then I guess McCain has more class than that. |

| #9 Be sure and read down to the end of the NRO article for Jonah's very good point about the implied "chickenhawk" (chickenhacker?) argument. |

| #6 The NRO article links to an AP story. That story reveals more idiot Obama camp moves. Get this, they're going to run an ad knocking McCain for how long he's been in Washington. Gosh, Molly, I wonder what the McCain camp can use to counter that. |

| #5 Mike, you're assuming he disapproves of the commercial's message. I suspect he does disapprove - but only of getting caught with his zipper down. Again. |

| #4 They're doing exactly what Obama said he would do: strike hard and personal.   Today Obama himself said it's fair to question just which country McCain puts first. scum. |
