Clever ad, bad judgment

You've seen that Obama ad about John McCain not being able to use a computer? Do you know why John McCain can't use a computer?

McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes . . . he can't raise his arm above his shoulder to throw a baseball.

(Boston Globe, 3/4/00, via Ace of Spades.) So I guess it was a real smart move for Team Obama to make fun of the disabled old war hero, huh?

UPDATE: More from Jimmie at Sundries Shack and Jonah Goldberg.

UPDATE II: Ed Morrissey:

If this is what happens when they takes the gloves off, maybe they should just keep them on in the future.

Palin panic's got 'em running in circles in Chicago.
