Really. I mean...really?

John McCain doesn't know how to use the internet. Really.

Money quote:

“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.”

You are *learning* to get online? I get online by double-clicking the icon for my browser. I mean, it is one thing to tease someone because he is old and can't program the VCR. It is another to think that a potential leader of the United States Of America is so tech-ignorant that he can't send an email. Even people I met in little backwater villages in Indonesia and Cambodia could use the internet, and that was eight years ago. This is 2008. What kind of a bubble of assistants do you have to live in to completely avoid using the internet?

Really.
