From dial phones to the Internet; a giant leap for an old man.

::::::::

Why should John McCain learn a 21st Century computer trick?

He’s so rich he doesn’t have to.

Just like his wife, who owns seven or so homes, presumable each with a kitchen, that doesn’t mean she even know where they’re located in each domicile, let alone how they work.

She’s rich enough to have seven cooks is those seven kitchens, and has a cadre of assistants to submit purloined recipes, the ingredients of which she probably couldn't identify with a pie chart.

Likewise, McCain is surrounded by flunkies who are well-paid to plug him in and direct him to selected sites and print out his emails.

The man can hardly toddle from one place to another; can’t we just imagine him stumbling he way around the “Internets.”

Of course, when he’s spoon-fed the info, he’s only has their word for it that Drudge had something important, informative or correct to say.

That could partly explain why he’s wrong about so many things, like the differences between religious sects; which country is training which terrorists; what country borders on what country; what countries are no longer countries; and conveniently not remember how he voted on vital issues.

Someone must have assumed the difficult task of punching the ‘yea’ or ‘nay’ button for him, therefore he has no memory of how he voted. Not that it would make much of a difference if he'd punched those pesky buttons himself.

Next he’ll have to learn how to turn on Dick Cheney’s favorite misinformation station, Fox News, that his toadies make sure are always tuned in.

If McCain has mastered touch-tone phones, he probably secretly longs for the good ol’ days when he turned the crank and a Ma Bell operator plugged him into the party line.
