John McCain Can't Use A Rubik's Cube

Barack Obama's new campaign ad is weird, you guys:

"John McCain still enjoys the California Raisins."
"John McCain hasn't seen a comedy since Cool Runnings."
"John McCain voted AGAINST Crystal Pepsi."

I'm not saying that these aren't perfectly valid criticisms of the Republican nominee for President of the United States, but is it really that useful to draw an indelible line between John McCain and the Zack Morris locker phone? Also, is not being able to send an email really a bigger issue than NOT UNDERSTANDING THE ECONOMY? Maybe we should put that right up front. I'm not a journalist or a candidate for President, but for some reason that really sticks out to me as kind of a bigger issue than whether or not John McCain can write on someone's Facebook wall.

... don't you think they just saved that bit about not getting the economy to have a strong climax? You're like "so, he can't send an email, i mean, that's pretty weak for a president in the 21st century, well, i guess he just goes witho- OMFG HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND THE ECONOMY!?!?"
