Campaign Manager: McCain "Loves To Tool Around On The Internet"

This morning, Obama communications director Robert Gibbs took a shot at John McCain for not knowing what an "Internet" was or how to set up the tube in his own home or office, leaving it up to McCain campaign manager Rick Davis to defend the candidate's computer literacy. Davis insisted that McCain is a big fan of "tooling around" on the web, and is well-known for grabbing the Blackberries of reporters so that he can watch all the pretty flashing lights. Why reporters willingly give up their Blackberries to McCain is a complete mystery, my guess it is a result of McCain "feigning an interest in their lives."

[WATCH.]

BRZEZINSKI: Did you hear Robert Gibbs? I think he might have just subtly tried to undermine your candidate's lack of internet capabilities. Did you hear that, Rick?

DAVIS: I have no idea what he's talking about. We are cool and groovy...I tell you, we are down with it also. So, I can't imagine what he is talking about.

BRZEZINSKI: Does John McCain, does he use the internet? Does he use email?

GEIST: Come on.

BRZEZINSKI: I just want to know.

DAVIS: He actually is, he always is grabbing people's Blackberrys on the bus. In fact, no reporter's Blackberry is safe from his prying eyes. He loves to tool around on the internet, he especially loves the videos that get produced that usually poke fun at him. I think that's his most entertaining part of the internet.

BRZEZINSKI: I've been known to call his Blackberry, begging for interviews. So I think any reports out there that says that he is not completely Internet connected are not accurate. But I have read them.

Why would you borrow someone's blackberry if you have your own? If you don't have your own, you know nothing about blackberries.

[RatgurlSD]

Wow! It's getting pretty deep in here - I'm gonna have to break out the hip-waders!

[j.gold]

I used to like Mika, used to.

[NickNas]

He doesn't know how to use a computer but now he is a NETGEEK???

C'Mon Guys!! You re-invent this guy almost DAILY now.

Release the other 600+ Pages of his Military records and not just the 17 pages you WANT us to see. Kerry did it and if a man is going to run 99% on his Military Record the I want to see ALL of it. ( Its ok we already know there are TONS of things that are embarrassing in it)

John McCain loves the internets!

[BADEN]

"Tooling around the internet..­."

I have a JIBJAB vision moment:

McCain in a bumper car.....na­med "SwiftBoat" - stop me if you've seen this one before...

[jlgcox]

The man does not know how to read from a teleprompter! He knows the internet - PLLLEEEASE!!

[karrezza]

How long does it take to get a message approved???
Its been 5 min and there were 6 pending, now 5? Averaging 1 every 5 minutes to approve is incredibly slow...

He admits he needs assistance when using a computer. I bet with his anger problem he breaks computers. McCain thinks an I-Pod and I-Phone is some kind of military weapon. What do you think the odds are that is vcr flashes 12:00!

My eighty -two year old father liked to tool around on the internet too.
It got so bad I had to block his 10 plus viral e-mails a day.
I also had to go over to his house every other day and show him where he lost his explorer icon.
The real difference here is one campaign invested and harnessed the power of the internet and the other "tooled around with it".
One more reason to vote for the one candidate that shows himself to be better equipped at facing the challenges of the 21 century.
Barak Obama keeps exhibiting judgement, organization,and effectiveness. That's what I want in a President.

Oh goody! I hope he visits http://www.StopThinkVote.com

He can keep track of his flip flops, his quotes, his votes showing he doesn't support our troops and veterans, his lack of support on women's issues, watch dozens of videos showing how pathetic he is an more!

[RatgurlSD]

And visit Factcheck.org, as well as read all the stories about him calling his wife something unmentionable in public.

Oooh! He should type in his & Cindy's names into Wikipedia & read what pops up there, too!

Or Keating Five!

OMG! He's in for SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Lisa Simpson (Rick Davis): "I'll show you how to order pizza over the internet."
Homer Simpson (McCain): "The internet? Is that thing still around?"

More lies from the media. McCain is crashing and the media must pump him up for ratings. McCain uses the Internet as much as I use the Telegraph.
