Maybe it was . . . BILL! =-O
Date: September 11, 2008.
Scene: Cozy Harlem joint. Ex-U.S. President Bill Clinton and Dem nominee Barack Obama are are engrossed in conversation over Cosi sandwiches and flatbread pizza.
Obama: What should I do, Bill? This Palin thing is killing me.
Bill: sniggers
Obama (angry): It’s not funny!
Bill (sips diet soft drink to squelch lingering smirk): Okay. Yeah. You’re right. Not funny.
Obama: This isn’t just about me, you know. It’s also about the Party.
Bill: Yeah, that’s right, sure.
Obama: So?
Bill (leans over table): Well, I do have one idea.
Obama: What! What!
Bill: Not many people know this . . .
Obama (half stands, then sits) : Know what? Know what?
Bill: John McCain . . .
Obama: whimpers
Bill (lowers voice further): John McCain . . . has a self-confessed inability to . . . send emails!
Obama: Oh WOW! That is . . . and you think . . . ?
Bill (sits back): I do think. Just link it back to change. ‘John McCain, he’s not about change, he can’t even send an email’! They’ll eat it up.
Obama (moaning slightly in relief): Oh wow, Bill, really, I don’t know how to thank you. Really, I don’t.
Bill: Never mind, Bar, your next attack ad will be (coughs) . . . thanks enough.

Email illiteracy in McCain. That is a point that hasn’t been used yet as evidence of being totally, totally, totally out of touch.
It’s up to the media (debate moderators?) to ask this question. Maybe we should email the debate managers and suggest they use this question.
