Today the Obama campaign released an ad that mocks John McCain's inability to use a computer or send an email. Jonah Goldberg points out a 2000 Boston Globe article that reported: "McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes."

Writes Goldberg: "In a similar vein I guess it's an outrage that the blind governor of New York David Patterson doesn't know how to drive a car. After all, 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."
