Very Presidential McCain “Aware of the Internet”

with 4 comments

Just kill me. From the Telegraph:

Senator John McCain, the Republican presidential candidate, has admitted that he never uses email and that his staff has to show him websites because he is only just “learning to get online myself”.

When asked if he went online himself, the Arizona senator responded: “They go on for me. I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself.” . . . .

“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 - including going to my daughter’s blog first, before anything else.”

And the poor guy who has to cover McCain’s gaffes? No whiz himself, as this attempt shows:

“John McCain is aware of the Internet. This is a man who has a very long history of understanding on a range of issues.”

You can’t make this stuff up. He makes Bush look geeky for using “the Google.”
