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”.
there are devices and add-ones on the market for those who have trouble typing.
I don’t think his use or non-use of a blackberry and other electronics is about being an “old fogey.” It has to do with the comfort level of constant contact and the “electronic leash” that is standard issue today among young people.
