Think Progress » McCain On His Computer Illiteracy: ‘I’m Learning To Get Online Myself, And I’ll Have That Down Fairly Soon’

thinkprogress.org — John McCain has acknowledged that he is “an illiterate” when it comes to computers. He said he “has to rely on his wife for all the assistance he can get.” At the Personal Democracy Forum last month, McCain aide Mark Soohoo argued in McCain’s defense that “you don’t have to use a computer to understand how it shapes the country.”

How does he work? His aides print everything for him? No Blackberry? Fax?

In related news.. he can't program his VCR, and he's afraid of automatic washing machines.

This just in: McCain thinks television is just a fad and is perfectly happy sticking with his trusty radio.

A printer is someone who goes out and types things out on my trusted typewriter--the text is getting just a little gray though, but the ink ribbon is only 15 years old, it has quite a few years left.

my 75 year old granny cant use her "wireless"...

Jeebus - admitting not knowing how to use a computer is as bad or worse than saying "I've never gotten around to using a telephone, my wife makes all my calls for me."

MASSIVE INTERNET FAIL.

What a frickin fuddy-duddy.

I'm not surprised. It seems like a lifetime ago we survived without computers or the internet but really it was just 15 or so years ago. I hate defending McCain, but I know a few older, successful business owners who could care less about the internet.

He should pick Al Gore to be his running mate, then he's understand these internets in no time!
