Obama spokesperson, Dan Pfeiffer, further opines: "It's extraordinary that someone who wants to be our president and our commander in chief doesn't know how to send an e-mail."
The problem, as pointed out in NPR's "The Corner," is that a couple of articles from 2000 cite McCain's war injuries as making it difficult (if not impossible) for him to use a keyboard.
Slate, Feb 11, 2000:
Six months ago, no one would have pegged McCain as the most cybersavvy of this year's crop of candidates. At 63, he is the oldest of the bunch and because of his war injuries, he is limited in his ability to wield a keyboard.Boston Globe, March 4, 2000:
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. Friends marvel at McCain's encyclopedic knowledge of sports. He's an avid fan - Ted Williams is his hero - but he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.
