what is interesting is that these people aren’t polled. many of them don’t have landlines. when McCain came out and said he didn’t use a blackberry, he didn’t do himself any favors with this demographic who see blackberries as a neccessary part of their lives. It was like saying he didn’t drive a car.

And I wonder if you know why he doesn't use a blackberry?

It's really shameful that it isn't part of the story whenever it's mentioned, as it is very pertinent. You see, McCain can't type. That's right, he is physically unable to.

You see, when his plane was shot down by a dreaded Soviet SAM over North Vietnam during the Vietnam War, he broke both his arms. The North Vietnamese who pulled him out of the water (he landed in a small lake) then beat him almost to death. He did not get proper medical attention and his bones healed incorrectly. He was beaten and tortured routinely, by having a stick placed behind his back and under his arms with his hands tied to the stick and forced to squat. Often he was left in this position for 16 hours a day.

So now he can't type. And that also means he cannot use a blackberry. Not because he's an old fogy, as the driveby media and Obama wants you to believe.

Now I'll bet you the under thirty-somethings know nothing of this story, you see, as the media doesn't like to tell it at all. It makes McCain look like, well, a hero, which during the late 60’s/early 70’s he was! Yet they don't want to tell the facts because that might give some folks sympathy for McCain, and also see the old man in an entirely different light, and that would be, to them at least, an “unfair” advantage.

Despicable doesn't even begin to describe our nation press and media “journalists”.
