Just a day late - but still interesting.
This video was brought to my attention a couple of days ago and I am only now getting around to posting it. The gist is that John McCain has stated that he does not use a computer and does not know how to use e-mail. This idea is defended by Karl Rove who says that because of McCain's physical injuries he is unable to type or use a computer. In the video this is followed by several video scenes of individuals with various disabilities effectively and effortlessly using computers.
Whether the claim about his war injuries and computer use is true or not, it is still rather concerning that this topic has even been discussed in regards to a presidential candidate. On the side of the Republicans, Washington is full of these guys, and it is quite depressing. Larry Craig once said "I've never used the internet". Ted Stevens thinks the internet is a series of tubes. Bush uses "the Google." How long until we have a computer-literate generation of leaders in our Capitol.
