I’m sorry but if you can’t use a computer, how the frick are you going to run a country?

Am I the only one who actually cares about that?

McCain’s staff emeber was saying that tongue in cheek.

A computer has NOTHING to dowith running a country. Absolutely NADA... not a thing.. ZIP... ZERO... ZILCH.

Computers as personal tools for communication, research (and porn for many people) have only seriously been around, affordable and widely used since the mid 90’s.

i still write notes on my palm and have only recently decided to buy a Blackberry.. I run a billion dollar company now, so it’s time to step up the game.

McCain was using computers long before most of us... We remember the photos of his green screen Sanyos back in the 80’s when he wanted Arizona schools to have more of them.

What he said back then was also a quip...

Get over it,my friend.

I don’t know about using computers or not, but I’m the queen of England. That’s if McCain invented the BlackBerry.

That was meant as a joke.. Unlike Al Gore telling the world he invented the internet.

But McCain’s fingers fly like the wind as he types on the SMALLER COMPUTER aka the Blackberry... His concentration is often actually split between the little computer and a normal discussion when he’s pounding away on the Blackberry!

That nixes the idea he can’t use a computer.. Just avoids the net is all.
