It’s also quite accurate, which is really not my fault.

Now go thank DaveinFla for doing your work for you. Next post, please.

I’m sure you remember 2000, that was the year that your world view shattered into a million pieces.

The important quote you want is:

The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type.

Wow, that took me 2 minutes and 43 seconds, and I’m not even a highly paid campaign operative.

If you could, just point to any “Google search” available before the ad came out that demonstrates that McCain can’t use a computer because of his war injuries.

Also, spare me the ad hominem attacks. Not that this counts for anything outside of your “fool” comment, but I would hesitate to call anybody who writes on to the Harvard Law Review a “fool.” Obama was a constitutional law professor at a major law school. He’s one of the great political minds of our time. He’s at the top of a major party ticket and has inspired millions of people. If you believe you can just pave over all of that with a toss-off comment, you’re the one being foolish.

Well, whatever gets you out of bed in the morning.

In any case, the only reason I think this ad is legit is because one cheap shot deserves another. The Obama campaign obviously didn’t know McCain’s disabilities had anything to do with his inability to use a computer. Obama goes out of his way, as we all do, to respect the fact that McCain made a huge sacrifice–McCain is one of the most honorable men in politics today (regardless of the fact that he, like everyone before him, has to play the political game and do some ugly stuff at the margins). Almost everyone who sees this ad, left or right, knows that the Obama campaign found out about link between McCain’s injuries and his computer skills AFTER they put out their ad. So it’s not a great ad, but it’s a legit move.
