I'm Not The Most Sophisticated Media Fella

I freely admit it. But does it make sense to attack your opponent on these grounds

NEW YORK (AP) - John McCain is mocked as an out-of-touch, out-of-date computer illiterate in a television commercial out Friday from Barack Obama as the Democrat begins his sharpest barrage yet on McCain's long Washington career.

..."1982, John McCain goes to Washington," an announcer says over chirpy elevator music. "Things have changed in the last 26 years, but McCain hasn't."

...Obama spokesman Dan Pfeiffer said the campaign was not making an issue of the 72-year-old McCain's age, but the time he's spent in Washington.

when the man you picked as your running mate has been a Senator since 1972?

"1972" as in "in 1972 Joe Biden was a US Senator in Washington while John McCain was a prisoner in Hanoi" 1972.

That 1972.
