Let's Mock McCain's Disability

From the same campaign that gave us Senator Joe Biden urging a wheel-chair bound state legislator to stand up and take a bow, we have this ad mocking John McCain because he doesn't use e-mail.

What the ad doesn't tell us is the reason Senator McCain doesn't use the computer. The torture he suffered as a POW has disabled his arms such that he can not comfortably use a keyboard. So, if he doesn't have to, why should he?

Nice ad, fellas. Next time get someone older than fourteen to write your script.

Jonah Goldberg wonders what's next. It's a good thing New York governor David Patterson isn't a Republican or else we'd be getting ads about the outrage of having a blind man who doesn't know how to drive a car serving as governor. After all, Goldberg says, transportation issues are pretty important. How dare he serve as governor while being ignorant of what it's like to navigate New York's highways.
