Earlier today, John McCain described his concerns about Russia's recent action of
"reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia." McCain, who wants to be President, apparently doesn't know that there is no such country as Czechoslovakia. It was dissolved politically in 1993. Fifteen years ago.
We shouldn't worry, however, that McCain is uninformed. The New York Times yesterday quoted him as saying that, although he himself has not yet "mastered how to use the Internet," his wife and his aides are there to help him to get online. The story quotes McCain as follows:
“They go on for me,” he said. “I am learning to get online myself, and I will have that down fairly soon, getting on myself. I don’t expect to be a great communicator, I don’t expect to set up my own blog, but I am becoming computer literate to the point where I can get the information that I need.”
So, don't fret about McCain being uninformed or confused by the realities of today's world. He'll be getting online all by himself... fairly soon.
