"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." - Craig Eddy from Bookmarklet

Forbes from 2000: "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." - ComicList

I want a President to be at least as computer literate as my 12 year old nephew. If that's elitist you sure set a low bar for the guy with the launch codes. - sergiooo

We aren't living in a James Bond movie. If whatever the President inputs the launch codes fails, it's not the President's job to rewire the box and make it work. - ComicList

and there you go. picking on the dude and he didn't want to come out and say the truth. Obama would of kicked FDR's wheelchair. now these pricks want to say he lied because he uses blackberrys. this is so low. - Noah David Simon

Sorry to be a contrarian, but Stephen Hawking uses a computer and he can't use his body at all. - Alex Scoble
