NJL-

McCain’s inability to use a computer does not appear to be POW related. A lack of interest would be my guess.

“I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself,” McCain told the New York Times in an interview that appeared Sunday. “I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need.”

Even so, McCain bluntly admits, “I don’t e-mail. I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail.”

That latter admission is surprisingly frank given that most people on Capitol Hill constantly keep up with work, and each other, via their BlackBerries.

McCain has been the object of much ridicule by liberals in the past month because of his frank admission in a Yahoo/Politico interview that he’s computer illiterate.

More recently, his aide Mark Soohoo was mocked mercilessly when he said at a politics and technology conference that McCain was “aware of the internet.”

I will pray for you to be healed, or at least that you not become unemployed and forced to be a secretary, NJL.

Lumpy, I have carpal tunnel, and if I had to type for a living, i.e., secretarial work, all day, I couldn’t do it.

Victoria, that would work.
I might ask a secretary to get the SecDef for me.

You know, McCain is a smart guy. If he needs to start World War V (we won WWIII and we’re in WWIV right now), he will tell one of the Secret Servicemen, “Push that red button.”

Secret Servicemen do what the President tells them to do, unless it’s something stupid that would put the President’s life in danger. Trust me on this; it will all work out.

Let’s see. Quadriplegics drive cars and use computers. It isn’t that McSame can’t use a computer. It’s that he doesn’t know how. He’s too lazy and incurious to bother learning.

Seriously. You guys can’t use POW for everything. It’s just silly.
