John Sidney McComputerIlliterate

By GottaLaff

You may or may not have seen this, but Mother Jones makes a point worth a post:
This video appears to be from at least six weeks ago, but no one has really commented on it. Do we want a commander-in-chief who can't use a computer without assistance?

Washington is full of these guys, and it's so depressing. Larry Craig once said "I've never used the internet" (though we know he was lying). Ted Stevens thinks the internet is a series of tubes. Bush uses "the Google." I can't wait until we have a computer-literate generation of leaders in our Capitol.
J Sid carries his telegraph and abacus wherever he goes. Asking him to learn how to use a new-fangled, cumbersome contraption like a computer might be asking a little too much. Not to mention, the trunk of his Edsel can barely accommodate his vast assortment of inkwells and quills.

NOTE: Video won't upload, so just follow the link. NEW NOTE: Success!
