McCain: Mac? PC? Can't Use Either!

Kevin Maney writes, alarmed: For a while now, videos have bounced around the Web making the most of John McCain's astounding confession in a TV interview that he doesn't use a computer, can't do e-mail, can't see news clips on the Web about himself.

You can see the actual interview, and you can see some mocking videos that people have made using clips from the interview. (It's 3 am and John McCain needs to read an e-mail...)

So now the Obama campaign is jumping on that and has made a commercial painting McCain as a computer illiterate and asking if we want a guy with such a knowledge gap running the country. Considering that technoloy is the most dynamic industry in America, and that national security increasingly relies on it -- and, for that matter, is threatened by cyber-attacks -- the question about McCain is a darn good one.
