Rove: McCain not computer-savvy because of POW status

[240 is Back]

Awful use of the POW card. 

Karl Rove lambasted the Obama campaign on Fox News Sunday for its recent ad criticizing Sen. John McCain for his supposed inability to use a computer.

Asked by Chris Wallace to comment on negative campaigning by Sen. Obama, Rove said that McCain's injuries suffered in a Vietnamese prison camp were responsible for his computer illiteracy.

"But they then say he doesn't …send e-mail. Well, this is because his war injuries keep him from being able to use a keyboard. He can't type. You know, it's like saying he can't do jumping jacks," Rove said. "There's a reason he can't raise his arms above his head. There's a reason he doesn't have the nimbleness in his fingers."

No one is suggesting he should be able to type 400 words a minute. if he has no nimbleness in his fingers, let him use the erasure on a pencil. Millions of people have been doing things that way for the longest time, ...why can't he? I'll tell you why? It's because the lack of nimbleness is not simply isolated to his fingers, ...it affects his brain as well.

Does this also explain Obama's bowling score?

Nah, ...Obama's bowling score is due to the fact that he just plain sucks at bowling.

McCain's not computer savvy for the same reasons he was last in his class at the Naval Academy, crashed a bunch of planes, etc.

He's dumb.

But then again, he had the good sense to commit adultery with and marry a much younger heiress..... so
