In an ad they call "Still," the Obama campaign disdainfully accuses McCain of being out of touch because "he doesn't know how to use a computer" and "can't send an email," along with a legitimate swipe at his grasp of the economy.

But, wait, opposition research team. Did you ever ask why McCain doesn't do those things? Did you really just read the information and assume--with your amazing liberal elite insight--that it must be because he's an old, dumb Republican?

Well, guess what?

McCain can't use a computer for the same reason he can't raise his arm high enough to salute: because he's a war hero that spent five and a half years in a North Vietnamese prison camp.

It didn't take Jonah Goldberg over at The Corner on National Review very long to find the answers the Obama campaign didn't bother to look for before they rushed their supercillious ad onto the air. All he had to do was check the archives of the Boston Globe to uncover this:

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.

So, if the Obama people want to make fun of a war hero for the injuries he sustained in the service to our country that is the hallmark of his character--well, I guess that's their political strategy: "Hope, Change, and Juvenile Humiliation."

If I were them, though, I would pull this ad and throw it back into the cesspool it came out of--before they lose the veterans' vote the same way they lost the white women's vote. Because it's actually the Obama campaign that's "out of touch."
