    The less internet the president knows the better. We don’t want the commander in chief looking at porn all day.

  2. Serolf Divad says at 3:15 pm, June 24th, 2008

    It’s a series of tubes, from what I’ve been given to understand.

  3. MoodProcessor says at 3:16 pm, June 24th, 2008

    But is he aware of all internet traditions?

  4. Godless Liberal * says at 3:16 pm, June 24th, 2008

    It’s a start. You don’t want to shock him with ALL the wonders of 1994 all at once.

  5. Gopherit v2.0 says at 3:16 pm, June 24th, 2008

    “There’s a community, it’s just not on Facebook,” Mr. Soohoo said, adding that the campaign was doing other things “to get our community excited.”

    Free Hoverrounds for EVERYBODY!! And Pudding every day!!”

    stankfest:”We don’t want the commander in chief looking at Wonkette all day.” /fixed

    Hahaha! Maybe he was the one who wrote that comment…

  8. Mabalz Izhari says at 3:18 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Time for the campaign to call in the “Video Professor”.

  9. Serolf Divad says at 3:21 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Mabalz Izhari:

    Why are we offering “Internet Basics 101″ for free? Well, we’re so convinced, John McCain, that you and your campaign staff will like what you see, that you’ll buy the rest of the series to learn more.

    That graphic reminds me of a bad cult horror flick called “Teeth,” in which a teenage girl has trouble maintaining relationships because she has teeth in her vagina which keep biting guys’ dicks off. Not exactly sure what that has to do with McCain’s awareness of all internet traditions, but I had to get it out of my head and into someone else’s somehow.

  11. SayItWithWookies says at 3:24 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Imagine how much time he’ll save with DrudgeReport instead of that pesky Presidential Daily Brief.

  12. Guppy06 says at 3:29 pm, June 24th, 2008

    stankfest: Why not? The more he looks at porn, the less he can fuck things up for the rest of us. Heck, throw a few loose interns his way!

  13. superfecta says at 3:30 pm, June 24th, 2008

    But who are his base belong to?

  14. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:31 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Mark Soohoo : “We are going to start off checking your E-mail.”

    WALNUTS! : “When did the mail man get here?”

  15. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:34 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Mark SooHoo : “Im going to teach you how to Google yourself.”

    WALNUTS! : “What me and my dirty trollop wife do behind closed doors is none of your business!”

  16. anabellum says at 3:35 pm, June 24th, 2008

    a suggestion to the McCains e-campaign people concerning his facebook page..

    post ‘friends only’ pics of Cindy doing her beer bottle/contortionist act….

  17. SayItWithWookies says at 3:40 pm, June 24th, 2008

    He would learn more about the internets, but he’s still sulking about having to differentiate between different kinds of Muslims, so he’s not really amenable to learning anything just now. Hell, the last person who told him “No sir, you have to press the Control, Alt and Delete keys at the same time” caught such a tirade that she ran off the bus crying. So right now he warms up his oatmeal in the microwave, and we’re calling that “computer literate.”

  18. AngryBlakGuy says at 3:41 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Mark Soohoo : “Now we are going to load some software onto your hard drive.”

    WALNUTS! : “Im sorry, but I used all my viagra with Cindy last night!”

  19. shortsshortsshorts says at 3:44 pm, June 24th, 2008

    “John McCain is now aware of how to get out of a car.”

  20. Baconcat says at 3:52 pm, June 24th, 2008

    McCain’s first day in office:

    “Charlie, check it out, this guy sent me an e-mail over the internets saying he had the plans to a secret energy source that the great Dr. Mangoambo Uzizizeki invented before he died! I wired him 300 million. Our energy problems are over!”

    Day two:
    “Charlie, help me! I went to Whitehouse.com and apparently the White House is full of trollops and cunts!”

    Day three:

    *beep* (Sound of incoming email)
    *double-click* opening email.
    Email: ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
    McCain: (To Charlie) WHAT HE SAY?

  21. bmannes says at 3:56 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Are you telling me that our potential president has never heard “Chocolate Rain”?!?! Oh, fuck that!

  22. gurukalehuru says at 3:57 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Sue Who?

  23. PrairiePossum says at 3:57 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Al Gore in year 2000 claims to have created the internet.

    John McCain in year 2008 claims to be aware of the internet.

    It’s a shame how far we’ve fallen in the past 8 years. McCain must be one of those left behind kids Bubba likes to talk about.

  24. sarcasticusername says at 3:59 pm, June 24th, 2008

    stankfest: i’m sure walnuts has quite the porn collection on beta-max, he’s probably the envy of the entire nursing home

  25. Diadhuit says at 4:00 pm, June 24th, 2008

  36. NoWireHangers says at 4:39 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Those classes at the senior center sure are paying off!

  37. NoWireHangers says at 4:41 pm, June 24th, 2008

    I can’t wait until WALNUTS! realizes that “Googling oneself” is not some slang term for masturbation. Who knows what he’ll discover? Maybe he’ll even figure out that the kids call him WALNUTS! And why.

  38. Baconcat says at 4:43 pm, June 24th, 2008

    AxmxZ: Nice

    ‘John McCain is a’where? I ain’t seen ‘im since ought three.’

    NoWireHangers: “Googling oneself” is not some slang term for masturbation. In a way it is…

  43. Mr Blifil says at 5:19 pm, June 24th, 2008

    Well, frankly it’s much more cost effective to order the hot water bottles in bulk online, and save on shipping. So those dehydrated babies are almost out of the woods. If they ask for Pedialyte, tell ‘em to fuck off.

  44. Like all senior citizens: he’s not so much aware of the internet as he’s aware of AOL.

  45. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 9:34 pm, June 24th, 2008

    I’m aware of Ménage à trois. Doesn’t mean I’ve ever seen one in person.

    McCain has announced though that he used to use his computer a lot, but then the cassette with all of the programs for this Timex Sinclair broke and he hasn’t been able to find a replacement.

  46. shouldbeoldenoughtoknowbetter says at 10:20 pm, June 24th, 2008

    John McCain is aware of kids. And boy does John McCain want them off his lawn!

  48. MathewBrooks says at 9:01 am, June 25th, 2008

    is John McCain aware that all of your base are belong to us?
