Obama's attack ad backfires

Looks like Obama's stupid attack ad on McCain has backfired. Goldberg also links to this McCain interview with the NYT from a few months ago, that, as Goldberg points out, makes McCain sound "awfully web savvy". The rest of it was a good read too.

Heh, Charles links another article (from back in 2000) similarly showing how false Obama's ad was:

In certain ways, McCain was a natural Web candidate. Chairman of the Senate Telecommunications Subcommittee and regarded as the U.S. Senate’s savviest technologist, McCain is an inveterate devotee of email. His nightly ritual is to read his email together with his wife, Cindy. The injuries he incurred as a Vietnam POW make it painful for McCain to type. Instead, he dictates responses that his wife types on a laptop. “She’s a whiz on the keyboard, and I’m so laborious,” McCain admits.
