Sen. McCain 2.0 never even had an E-Mail until 2008. He was choice number 2 for president what a joke. That just goes to show you what puppets the elected are. How are you going to run the super power USA if you don't even know how to send email.

The longer we see what kind of government a Democratic Administration suported by a Democratic congress turns out to be, the smarter John McCain turns out to be. He described it in great detail during his campaign, but apparently not enough people were paying attention.

John McCain is a brilliant man and a dedicated public servant we are fortunate to have working for the American people.

I recently gave my 80+ year old father a cell phone to keep for safety. It sits on a shelf, battery flat, unused. He found the technology to daunting. Unlike McCain, he DOES send/receive emails and use a PC. There's room on that shelf for McCain's Blackberry. I'm sure that is what John will do with it very soon.

Geesh! And we almost chose him for President! Gosh! How about a high tech brain.

Hate is hate! You don't like it when a white guy gets hated on but you stand by when blacks get hated, even when the life of our President is blatantly threatened! You then all of the sudden "didn't see the comment that way". Well some people don't see that the comments here are hating on McCain.

You can sure dish it out, but you can't take it. I am not saying hating is right, but it you can't take the heat, shut up yourself!

McCain the real deal, haha, man, i love people that butter you up with service to the country, as if it didnt feed the fire of BS back then just like joining is doing now. If you dont think old age has alot to do with the dumb decisions being made maybe you shoulnt open your mouth till your that old, dont you have parents?? dont you notice the changes or......wait....lemme guess they get smarter as they get older right? i wish ignoring things made them better, if they did, we'd have a Republican president. I agree maybe new talking points or even reading a book about what really happened in vietnam while you were in that pow camp, maybe touching up on economic skills all things concidered..naw....lets just keep being meatheads. Perfect example of old people running the country-Bush and Rumsfeld, might as well be in space, good ole Rums looking up words in the dictionary like geurilla warfare and insurgency, why? becuase hes a dumby. Let me tell you, you defenders of these idiots are in real good company. He didnt know the definitions because apparently he thinks these tactics are new....go figure, i bet alot of you think that. Everyone i know is very happy to have these clowns sittin in the back where they belong.

I am laughing so hard I can't write!

What a WAST all you HATERS are!

Get a Job, accomplish something!

The fact that our new Administration is in place today because of you makes me sick!

You’re Hate and Anti-American sentiment is the downfall of our nation!

Is CNN running out of news?

Is this the same guy whose party criticized the absence of a suit coat in the Oval Office as being "unprofessional" and too informal? The Republican hypocrits are all for stuffed shirt appearances when it's their guy – but how disrespectful of the President is it to be doing the grown-up version of playing with a Nintendo while the President is speaking to you? What a bunch of children!

Isn't McCain the one who also criticized the helicopter purchase – the one who crashed enough aircraft to more than pay for a few helicopters in his day?

Twitter, twitter – what's the mitter? Don't these people have enough problems and challenges to fill their time without playing amateur newsmen on their Blackberries? Get back to work – and, as your party said – show some respect!

Wow McCain is out of the ice ages. He should have been able to embrace modern technology and maybe he would have won the election. Now he and his party have to play catch up. Interesting article......

maybe now he can keep up with what is going on in America..

Oh, okay. Now I'll vote for him.

I thought Methusala could not use email because he had war wounds that would not allow his fingers to use the keyboard.

However, today we learn he can use a Blackberry, which not only has smaller keys but they are closer together.

Suddenly, his manual dexterity is ok?

Just another lie we have caught the repubs peddling during the election.

Isn't this one of the ones that was for sale at the end of his campaign

McCain, is to dumb to use a 19th Century crank telephone much less any thing else..Cindy dials his numbers for him..And wax's him every morning so he look alive..

I'm sure he as around the clock tutors

"TRUTH" – Funny, perfect though as I have learned that the right likes the word "truth." It doesn't mean "fact, " its a representation of an individuals ideas. Forbes magazine, eh? Most technologically savvy? Did you read the above article?

"I've never felt the particular need for e-mail."

Four year-olds know how to e-mail.

Your "truth" is yet another lie you hope no one looks up.

Beyond that, this hero POW did, in fact, give away vital military information for better conditions. They knew he was a comanding officer's son, so he was treated accordingly.

Sorry, these "facts" always seem to get in the way of your "truth."

@ beverly
"He is still a disrespectful, dishonorable, and bitter old man who needs to retire. No technology can change that."

_____________________
Your remarks about someone you do not even know is disrespectful. When was the last time you were a POW serving your company? Have you ever held an elected public office? You should go tell your parents that they are disrespectful, old, and bitter.

Getting shot down and spending time as a POW didn't accomplish much ... did it SGTBIGO? He wasn't serving MY interests ... and he wasn't much of a pilot either.

McCain honorable? The old McCain might have been. There is no doubt he was very brave in his time in prison camp. Probably braver than any of us. I used to respect John. I didn't always agree with him, but I respected him. In this last election he listened too much to his advisors. He became spiteful, vindictive, and lied repeatedly about his opponent, with attempts of character assassination. Even he realized, too late, that he'd gone too far. The McCain of the 21St Century is a hateful old man who has lost his way. No technology in the world will change that. Enjoy your Blackberry, Mr. McCain. If you have problems with it, there are Elderhostel classes to teach you how to use it. Usually last a week or two.

He can twitter? wow! The man is a dinosaur. Obama wants the US to go into the 21st Century and McCain is still back before cell phones and Computers.

He mr. Les Etats Rouges Theater, if western nations, include the USA, dont let immigrants in, to do the jobs that so called WHITE CHRISTIAN people wont do, than the nations are doomed. Think of that first. Bye and have a nice day!

I saw the headline and automatically assumed Johnny got a Pong game for his TV set. Imagine my shock!!

To sgtbigo–Do you know how to read? Apparently not. John McCain is anything but a hero. Read the story in the October issue of Rolling Stone to find out who the REAL McCain is.

Oh Grandpa you are so LATE when it comes to 21st century technology. Oh and by the way Twitter sucks!

@TRUTH:

ROFLMAO, your McCain-is-tech-savvy-and-liberals-are-stupid post is so silly I can't even get annoyed at it. Take care when you go on your morning stroll, so as not to fall off the edge of the flat earth!

From his speech the other day:

OBAMA: I'm proud that we passed a recovery plan free of earmarks.

WHAT? Which recovery plan is he talking about? Does he know what an "earmark" is? Don't lie, man, just come out and say it. You're popular and famous right now, no one will care. Just say, "We passed a huge spending bill with a number of earmarks". At least I would respect your honesty.

How exciting! McCain with a high tech toy.

zzzzzzzzzzzz

I am sooo tired of seeing this old geezer. time to retire and move on. All he does is start drama intentionally about things already being taken care of. And US losing in the war.. bull!!!!

Too bad he didn't have it the other night during the President's speech. He could have been twittering away instead of looking bored and disinterested in that "I got my rear kicked by that guy" way. Of course when it came out what the other high tech rocket scientists in the Republican party were sending he probably did himself a service.

My my my. A man devotes his entire human life, the only one he has, to defend and serve a country he dearly loves, and all a young, lazy, pathetic, in-love-with-theirselves, generation of yuppies can do is spew hollow, thoughtless hate. That's because they don't know what it is to sacrifice. They don't know what it is to lay down their life for fellow man. They relax in the wake of freedom and prosperity that an entire generation gave all to get. You don't love your country when you spew such hate for a man that has given all. You're in love with yourself, full of pride & hate. "A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit." Proverbs 29:23, KJV
You could live 100 life's and John McCain would still have more honour than you. Keep bowing down to the "messiah" and is hollow promises and socialist ideas. Keep hating your neighbor and fellow man. America will surely prosper with people like you.........

He still likes his jitter-bug phone more... its got those cool oversized buttons!

Wow
Why is this news?
Unless of course he is looking at more blond porn

It never ceases to amaze me just how intolerant, vicious, and ignorant some of these posters are. It isn't really news that John McCain has a BlackBerry and a Twitter, even though it's kind of ironic given that the media attempted to portray him as some sort of Luddite during the campaign, however, what the first 30 or so posters said here is absolutely disgusting. You claim to stand for "tolerance" and "fairness" and "equality" and you spout the most shameful, disrespectful, and ignorant garbage I've ever seen.

How is it that most liberals in this country have come to exemplify the very things that they criticize?

While we can all admire NcCain's refusal to accept early release from POW camp, let's remember that it was a decision that was largely made FOR him not solely BY him. Given the military history of his family it would have been anthema for him to have accepted such an offer. It would have marked the end of his military career and a polical one that would never have started.

He still likes his jitter-Bug phone more than his blackberry!

yes, the obstructionist on the right has become the party of NO these obstructionist on the right destroyed this country and are still doing so. VOTE THESE OBSTRUCTIONIST OUT OF OFFICE NEXT ELECTION.

Like, Oh my God – John McCain got a Blackberry. That’s like so 2006. He’s like totally old and should be retired in Arizona. I’m going to the animal rights protest later, but I want to stop by The Leather Store – I saw these really cute boots on sale. Not that I need a sale, my trust fund pays for them. Why can’t everyone like get along – the world should just talk to each other? Religions are all basically the same, right? I was so happy November 4th me and all of my higher education friends and me had a wine and cheese party. Cover was $250/head Just got my bonus – that should be pretty big. What’s better, California wine or New England Sharp Cheddar Cheese?

wonder who turns it on for him.

MCcain is a has been. Not getting my vote for Arizona senator.

Nice to know the old man is getting into modern technology. He has to turn it on to use it.

There are some nasty, hateful, thoughtless comments coming from both poles of the political spectrum here, but mostly from the left. Many may disagree with Sen. McCain's ideologies, but the gentleman from Arizona has served and continues to serve our nation with great honor. Show some respect and bite your tongues.

I thought his fingers were all busted up from saving America from the Viet Cong? It's a miracle! No, wait, it's his assistant typing for him. Now his assistant is cutting the crusts off McCain's sandwich.

LESS McCain-- Much, Much, Much, Much less of him.
Who cares, he lost make him go away!!!

Read up on your HERO MCCAIN, other than being a POW there is nothing heroic about him.........read up on his Time as a Pow.......while all the others kept their mouths shut, McCain caved into the pressure, so the other POW's that don't get all the recongition that they deserve are the real HERO's, MCCAIN distroyed Navy fighter plans because of his roudy wrecklessness, so give those of us a break that seem to know more about this old fool than you do......

Just another method for McCain to get his ego stroked.

John McCain is a great man.
I just thought someone should say it.

So wait, I guess the position that he could not type do to POW injuries was not true? LOL! Another Republican lie! It really never ends does it?

John McCain: For Angry Senator in 2010.
Slogan: "How does this thing work? Do I click here?"

I could care less about McCain or what he does. McCain is only for the Republicans and very wealthy. Don't continue to show anything to the American people about McCain for WE DON'T CARE.

Obama is an idiot. If he is so smart how come he won't let people see is scool records. Could it be he was at the bottom of his class? It appears all he learned was how to make a good speech. He sure doesn't have ant common sence.

It's called "spin" and that's is what the Republican Party is doing by offering this story on McCain and Twitter. They want to divert attention from Governor Jindal's response last night to President Obama's address to the Nation. Governor Jindal is a "scary" man. There is something about his eyes ... . He totally lacks compassion for people like other great leaders of our time.

Darn It! I thought they were getting him a Hoveround and a Snuggie!

@ Chris, who asked "But, why the name calling and hate? "

Did you sleep through the election cycle and miss all the name calling and hate engaged in by McPampers and the Palinbot and their legions of mindless talking-point regurgitators?

Please CNN... stop the cosmetic ads that appear like strobe lights. The constant brush strokes distracts from reading... and that's not so good for people with history of seizure. How can one concentrate and read and understand when the brushes keep moving back and forth?

He bought it for $20.00 from GOP campaign headquarter!

As I read through these posts I'm ashamed for most of you. John McCain (whether you agree with his politics or not) has done more for this country than you will ever dream about. He was a fighter pilot, shot down and became a POW. A POW FOLKS!!! The kind of torture he went through for all of us is tremendous. He's dedicated his life to being a public servant. It doesn't matter if you agree with the man, show some respect for what he's done for this nation. I'm only 27 and I'm sorry, but everytime I hear someone say "Oh he's too old!" it just makes me sick. Just because we're young doesn't mean that our ideas are better. It just means they may be different. Please show some respect here people.

Let me know when he starts his own podcast . . . that might be news.

Learning the lesson of the last campaign...

Man, I really hate people who don't look like me. All those immigrants taking away jobs from good Christian Whites and those welfare cases in the ghettos of the big cities are the ones who get all my taxes! John McCain simply wasn't racist enough for me; even if he got himself one of those fancy hand held telephones....he only looks like one of them hippity-hoppity gangster rapper guys. You betcha. I hope my govt. check comes today because I really hate Socialists. That Obama, man, he's like an Islamic minister of some kind – either way, he's not one of 'us'....I bet he doesn't even like monster trucks. Shucks.

It's called "spin." And, that's what the Republican party is trying to do by offering the press a story about McCain on Twitter. They are simply trying to divert the press from reporting my widely on Governor Jindal's reponse to President Obama's address to the Nation. Governor Jindal is a "scary guy." Those are the words of my children after watching last night's response. There is something about his eyes ... I don't know what it is–he does not seem to have great compassion for people like other great leaders.

Dear No Hillary=No Obama:
You and the PUMA group are an embarassment to the Democrats. You have no spine. Hillary deserves better support than someone who is willing to turn their back on her and support the guy who was going to do the TOTAL OPPOSITE of what Hillary would have done. You're an idiot. And McCain is not the real deal. He's an old racist who has less of a spine than you do. Grow up. See you in four years.

@ TRUTH

FORBES!!??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You do realize that's liberal toilet paper, right? Forbes is an ardent GOPer and wouldn't know "tech savvy" if it crawled up his a–...of course it can't tho, because his head has already taken up residence there.

Joe The Troll: LMAO!!

You would think!

he bought it for $20.00 from the GOP campaign headoffice.

It is just so shocking to me that liberals who post on blogs have nothing to say substantively...instead, they just spew out hate.

I thought the left was accepting of everyone....the party of everyone, of hope, change, and love for all?

John McCain fought for each and every one of you-truly fought. He continues to serve. Disagree with him, fine. But, why the name calling and hate? His whole career in public service he has served with honor and integrity. He is a true gentlemen.

STOP THE HATE YOU LEFT WING FREAKS!

My fellow President Obama supporters, let's stop the hate! Senator McCain represents the older generation who are afraid to admit that they still have a lot to learn. Once upon a time we would seek the advice of our elders in order to grow. Today we Google everything we need to know!

McCain is not alone any Republican or Democrat in Congress over the age of 65 is feeling obsolete and none of us are seeking their advice. That can't be a good feeling.

Show alittle respect at least McCain is tryin...
DX in TX

Give me a break. Is this really news? This guy couldn't even dial a phone without a ROTARY.

Let's hope he tweets into retirement.

I wonder who is actually sending the tweets? Surely not Grampa McCain!

to TRUTH .....Dude, YOU'RE the KNUCKLEHEAD if you BELIEVE EVERYTHING you read!! Please, the 'MOST TECH SAVEY"? This guy couldn't even dial a phone without a rotary. Remember them?

Too late for Mccain 2.0.

Too many bad memories of McCain 1.0 – the grouchy, mean, out of touch, nasty, erratic negative old man with the old ideas and the stupidity to select someone as unqualified and unprepared as Sarah Palin for VP.

Mccain said he really likes blackberry...and peppermint schnapps!

Im suprised the media isnt attacking Jindal some way in this article!

I highly doubt he is the one actually sending the messages. Probably some 20 something aid. He wouldn't know a blackberry from a blueberry from a strawberry. Just go away.... enjoy the millions.

Oh God, he is still TWITTER DUMB as far as I am concerned!

When I heard McCain got a high-tech toy... I thought it might be an alarm clock...

Jon "Manpampers" McCain has a Blackberry? Armageddon is upon us!!!

Did anyone notice the smirks and facial remarks McCain was making when Obama was speaking?

Everytime the camera focused on him, he couldn't help but show his nasty, creepy, decrepit self.....

John McCain-please get behind your president. You don't have to like him or agree with every little thing, but please don't talk out the side of your face on national tv and oppose just for the sake of opposing. I am sure you're a good man, unfortunately you are coming accross very petty to most Americas.

Its amazing how many folks are making fun of McCain for not being teck savy. I guess they didn't catch the news the other day with our great Vice President. He's so smart, he asked for a websites "number".

sad just sad but thats why you have aids to help you sad john

sad just sad but thats why you have aids to help you sad john

Well he should know how to use it since he invented it and all. Plus Blackberry's are so crappy, get an iPhone instead.

Who is he kidding? His staff is writing his Twitters.

He bought it for $20.00 from his campaign headoffice!

McCain is the real deal, real as can be. That's the reason way he lost.
Old ideas, and old news.

McCain is still probably lib enemy #1. He served his nation and faught for our freedom, He challenged the Messiah with truth and facts, he is tolerant and respectful of all Americans, and he has a true love for this nation.

America's worst and most hateful will always despise him. I can't think of a better compliment.

stupid idiot – go away!!

Welcome to the 21st Century!

No Hillary = No Obama

You're joking right? You serioulsy think McCrypt and his Palin would have handle this economic mess? Oh yeah, cut more taxes for the rich, less regulation for wall street and sending more troops to Iraq would have been better... sike.

WOW...I can't get enough of the bipartisan loving tone of you pathetic liberals. Not very compassionate to someone's age...but say a word about Obama, and it's racist and anti-American. Forgot that only the Great One is permitted to use technology...and put up a hissy fit when it's recommended that it be taken away BECAUSE IT COULD JEOPARDIZE NATIONAL SECURITY. Seriously, you like to blame everyone else but you can't even see that you are the group that is truly the deterioration of the United States. Proof of your hate is all around us on this "Ticker"!

He probably thought it was a new flavor of pie.

Another example of the Republican Party following President Barack Obama's lead.

GOP copy-cating has given us -

Sarah Palin as VP
Micheal Steele as RNC head
"Bobby" Jindal as a figurehead to respond to the President's address
A blackberry for John McCain; and he now tweets to deflect criticism

next Eric Cantor will go to a shelter to rescue a dog...

Do you wanna (Palin-speak) know who the GOP will run for President in 2012? Go find someone in their ranks that went to Columbia and then Harvard (or Prineton, or Wharton, or Stanford, or Northwestern, or USC). I guarantee they'll want to feel there putting up someone with the "formal smarts" of our President.

with the republicans spouting out so much HATE, RACISUM and ANGER, what good is a blackberry going to do???

The Republicans haven't a clue! Its not about finding token minorities to spout your worn out ideas. It is about finding new ideas to meet today's urgent problems newsflash: TAX CUTS ALONE WILL NOT REVIVE THIS ECONOMY and giving more to the rich is not going to increase spending!!! Nor will ignoring science or research and development; nor will ignoring the health care problem; or ignoring the layoffs. Obama may not be 100% correct but he is addressing the issues confronting people. The Republicans would earn more credibility if they would criticise the wasteful spending of the fat cat bosses of industry who have over paid themselves; laid thousands off and run the country into the ground. The GOP should be ashamed to say the govt should get out of the way...jeez. Great Mccain has finally learned how to use a blackberry (without emailing). Anyone else glad he lost the election? Imagine the learning curve Mccain would be on now trying to deal with all the problems Obama has currently?

This is news right CNN..............................................is there no wonder that the "media" in America is NOT a reflection in anyway of American public?

McCain you are no President Obama. It is a little to late!

If we can't get tems limits passed (for Senators and Congressman) to serve only one term.......then we should put a AGE LIMIT for Senators and Congress men and women..........Byrd (Dem) and McCain (R) and several others are getting to old and senial, they need to be turned out to pasture.........

You all are such hateful, ridiculous people.

Having an aide send tweets or write a blog doesn't mean the candidate values technology or educating our kids in it for the future of our society. He's just a politician pandering to a voting block.

If we can't get tems limits passed (for Senators and Congressman) to serve only one term.......then we should put a AGE LIMIT for Senators and Congress men and women..........Byrd (Dem) and McCain (R) and several others are getting to old and senial, they need to be turned out to pasture.........

McCain didn't suddenly get the urge to Twitter. Newt Gingrich has declared it the essential electronic tool to the GOP's comeback and has urged members to "get with the program" and take it up. McCain didn't even know how to use his smartphone during the election cycle and admitted pubicly that he let Cindy do that for him.
Besides being late adopters to technology, the GOP has already alienated a large swath of Americans and learning how to Twitter won't change that. They don't need a new distribution method for their message. They need a new message.

What are you people angry about. He's old, not dead. Congrats on keeping up with the latest technology fads John.

I'm just glad he's signing on to modern technology after the campaign and not before or during.

Twitter is completely inane and useless, just like most liberals.

I'll believe this old man when horses fly. McCain is too old to catch up with technology now, it's time for him to play shuffle board. Besides that McCain doesn't look too well at all, I wonder what's up with him.

everytime i hear him speak or have to look at his face, i thank god Obama won.

John McCain looks white as a ghost these days. Could you imagine if this fogey would have been our President?

Just another hypocrite, the more he speaks the more he reveals that he is a bundle of contradiction.

The only tweeting he does is in his diaper.

Nobody's interested in what you might have to say, McCain. You're an angry old fart. Whats your relationship with Cindy (besides cold) and money. Me thinks you're the 4th horseman of the "Apocalypse." You can't even take care of Az. Jindal-Steele-McCain-Palin-Scary

McCain should call Biden and get the number for recovery.com. So much for dems and technology.

"McCain should have been President" – really? And just how would he and the ethically and morally challenged governor grandma be dealing with things? I suppose you think the stock market would be rising, jobs would be raining from the sky, and the world would be at peace?

More like: tax cuts for the wealthy send even more dollars offshore, unemployment rates soar as McCain promises but can't deliver on business tax cuts, the stock market drops below 7000 as more money is thrown at bankers, who thumb their noses at their customers and take a bonus, nuclear war is imminent as McCain threatens Iran and N. Korea, home prices depreciate even more as McCain tells people in default "tough luck." Oh, and his VP would be posing for photographs with her arsenal to keep the NRA dollars flowing to Republicans. Meanwhile, the VP mansion would be home to the daughters, the babies, the sort of educated father of the newest baby...are you serious?

So, its not like it changes the facts, which are A) that his pushing 80 or B) that he really has no clue what these techie things are about.

Talk about a wannabee.

Hey, "No Hillary=No Obama"! How'd that work out for you?

John McCain: OUR MAN FOR THE 1970s!!

WOW!

It's hip to be square...

He's too old to have this kind of technology. It just goes to show that he's still out of touch.

@No Hillary = No Obama

You sound like an idiot.
-------------------------------–
He needed a Blackberry when he was deciding to postpone the first presidential debate. Mr. McCain is behind in the times. Sorry old geezer.

So, how long will it be before he and Cindy get a new dog?

What an innovator. At least he can keep in better touch with the lobbyists.

Is there anyone posting who is out of school?

his first message....dot/dot/dot, dash/dash/dash, dot/dot/dot. Oh wait, that's not twitter. That's the latest technology the old guy has

Did anyone actually watch the Jindal response to Obama's speech? OMG!!!!!! Was that THE MOST FAKE bunch of crap you'd ever seen? When it started I actually thought it was a Saturday Night Live spoof. HONESTLY. It took me a few minutes to grasp that it wasn't. LOL!!!!!!!

If he has nothing to say, he would "never felt the particular need to e-mail." Regardless of technology, he remains out-of-touch and sadly behind the curve. He gives our tech savvy senior citizens a bad name.

John McCain is rapidly becoming "The Old Fart" joke of America." First he trots out "Backwoods Bimbo" and looses her upon the general public, now he continues to grunt and raise his eyebrows every time Obama speaks, just as if he actually has a better idea of how to handle anything. It is so sad to see " a hero" go down in the self indulgent flames of arrogance and ignorance.

OLD OLD OLD.... why doesn't he retire to one of his wife's mansions?

I used to like him. He now looks like an angry, bitter and jealous grumpy old man.

I don't think it was a coincidence he and his Judas pal, Liebermann, had Burris, dumbo, in the middle of them walking in.

thank god he did not get elected president

we could not see more of Palin but how bad a president he would be

Well it seems that McLiar suddenly can move his fingers that he once claimed were disabled from the Vietnam war; and did not allow him to use a computer.

We need to learn who his PT is so that we can use his techniques.

Dinosaurs using electronics.
All the tech in the world won't help unless you are willing to evolve.

Who cares!

I guess you really can teach an old dog new tricks...
Although, it's usually beneficial to teach them BEFORE the big show.

If he doesn't feel the need to email, why does he have a Blackberry?

After we had four years of Obama and his spend it all democrats bankrupting this nation, McCain and Palin would have looked pretty good after all.

thank god really thank god this fool is not in the white house today

I thought John McCain invented the BlackBerry?

The republican party lost me when they had McCain and have realy lost me with a joke like Jindal. If this is a up and coming star for the Repubs, then they will lose, because like I said......Jindal is a joke.

old man mcsame. just like you ideas you are behind the times. and for no hilary= no obama. give it a rest. the only thing real about mcsame is he is a REAL FOSSIL.

You are all so hateful toward John McCain! What did you expect the man to do during a Presidential campaign, concede? I am sure he knew in his heart of hearts that Obama was going to win but my goodness give the Senator a break would you all!

I am an independant and I am getting furious with Obama supporters who cannot be happy with the fact that their guy won! They have to down everybody else along the way who may have a different viewpoint. Stop bashing Palin. Let her run Alaska. She did okay before the campaign and I am sure she doesn't need help running her state now. John McCain was voted in as Senator many times by the people of AZ. That is what matters! I have never seen Robert Byrd or Ted Kennedy or Senators from Hawaii "twitter". At least John McCain is trying. Lay off!

Don't we have enough to worry about without this silly stuff?

All you can do is laugh and say awwww... he finally got a blackberry at 80 years old.

It is cool when people realize that they are never too old to stop learning stuff. Maybe he can tweet Gov. Jindal to let him know that we actually do have active volcanos in the U.S., and that they are a significant concern – much as hurricanes are.

How the hell you have a BlackBerry and do not use email? Talk about government waste!

Who says Pres. Obama is not a leader. Wasn't he the first politician to begin all of this email stuff and now all the republicans are on it.

LIBERALS ARE KNUCKLEHEADS. John McCain was named by Forbes Magazine as the most technologically savvy member of the Senate. Liberals are so stupid.

So now the angry old man is trying to look hip. Too funny.

Oh, please, McCain is not personally using twitter. The man cannot hold and pen, his hands shake, and due to injuries he fingers and thumbs do not move freely. No way can he use a qwerty key on a Blackberry or any other phone. He probably can't even read the screen either. I wish he would just shut up and focus on helping the people of Arizona, he is not the future of the majority of Americans.

It's not Sen. John McCain, It his senior staffer typing in Sen. John McCain name.... This is to boost his name .. John MCain hands don't function good enough to operate a blackberry nor does his mind.

Arizona, please retire this man!

It will not make him any smarter. Stupid is as stupid does

I looked out at the crowd during President Obama's speech, and i am even more convinced that there should be term limits on Congress. I am tired of seniors "representing" the "people". They have old ideas and do not now represent the majority American population. We need to move forward with more promising and forward thinking minds.

Where is the ticker story about Biden saying, "Can someone get me the website number?" Umm, I think he meant website ADDRESS or URL? Ha ha ha. That happened yesterday morning. Maybe he wanted the website's number so he could "give it a call". ha ha ha.

Sorry liberals, just trying to educate and inform.

Reading the highly disrespectful and negative comments about a man who spent his whole life defending the U. S. against the evils of socialism, communism, fascism , it's no wonder the country has spiraled down so far. You will get what you deserve in your tech savvy, Marxist president.

"the economy is strong". "i don't understand economics". Let me think. Why is he in the news at all??? The republicans got us in an illegal war, ruined our economy and now mcshame says we are "losing the war". how do we get all these white/what's in it for me/self centered/could care less about solving our problems if the "other party"is trying???

signed: ex republican/white/small town/vet/christian who wants to do what the right wing says-feed the poor, take care of the sick,etc. interesting they don't do this and carry a Bible.

I think the story is mistaken. I don't think McCain bought a new Blackberry. He invented the Blackberry, remember?? He probably built his own!

His republican buddies need more backbone and refuse to take stimulus money. Show the American people who really needs that infrastructure. The republicans know Iraq needs more money they have voted overwhelming for 8 years to send it to Iraq. Why stop now? I would like to incourage all the republicans to continue to follow this pathway. The people of South Caroline should be very proud of their Governor he has backbone in a time of high unemployment for his constituency. We are talking real republicans with spine to stand for their principals. The ones who know what is best for the Amercian people. The party needs to stand united and not budge on petty issues, that will keep this money from the Iraqi people.

What's the number of his web site. Never mind that was our tech savy VP. Lot of democrats seem to dislike old people. I guess they'll be the next ones tossed under the bus.

I would be more impressed by a politician who shuns such things and doesn't follow the herd like a blind, mindless sheep. Such tools are for followers......not leaders.

THIS GUY IS THE BIGGEST JOKER IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. FIRST IT WAS PALIN AND MCCAIN THEN STEELE THEN JINDAL---WHO'S NEXT. LET ME SAY IF BOBBY JINDAL IS THE RISING STAR OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY THEN THE FOLLOWERS WILL HAVE TO WAIT A LONG LONG TIME TO FIND A LEADER THAT WILL WIN ANY ELECTION. HERE AGAIN CNN ,I'LL HAVE TO KNOCK YOUR WOLF BLITZER WHO WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLORIDA TO INTERVIEW THAT IDIOT,SARAH PALIN AND NOW HAS HIGH PRAISE FOR BOBBY JINDAL. WOLF WHO? YOUR WOLF HAS LOST ME.

Too bad he is also picking up the horrible habit of not using caps when he writes...I'd think an educated man of his generation would use proper grammar and punctuation no matter what.

i'm all a-twitter....maybe , by 2012, he'll get the hang of it....or one of his "young Turks" -payin' Palin? hip-hop beyond-the-leading-edge Steele? or Bobby -Bollywood Jindal?.....is this reality TV, or what?...:-)

He is not smart enough to use e-mail...He is the biggest phony in the Congress.

McCain increasingly looks like the past: Angry old white Republican guys.

Um.... your a little too late to be getting in the game now mccain

He looks like death warmed over...

Is this old fool still around????? I thoughthe was in Crawford, or Dallas, sucking on a Jim Beam bottle with his old buddy..The BUSH..

Oh McCain, you hateful old goat.....it's way too little, way too late.

I'd like to know what his handle is on Twitter!
This should be interesting!

Poor John, he actually imagines somebody is reading his stuff.

Its so old news. what is he gonna with blckbberry . just try stay on news. go away please

He probably keeps answering his paper weight.

Right. You mean an aide to John McCain is on Twitter sending Tweets pretending to be John McCain.

Suddenly the war injuries that prevented him from using the Internet and email have vanished? Odd.

wow mccain just started using blackberry but he cant use emails hahahah than whats the reason to use blackberry device if you dont know how to do emails...... this guy is stupid and ignorant

Why is this old coot revelant?

he should resign along with obama.

Let me guess, he has one for every house and car he ownes.

I'll bet Cindy gave it to him for Christmas. He'll ditch it in the "junk drawer" before too long.

Never seen the need to email, maybe because he knows how dangerous that would be for his life and reputation. Wait 'til we get to read some of the comments that he is a "twit" about. It will only be a matter of time before his actions will be troublesome for his future.

Proving he's still got "hip".........John McCain is a ninny.

Who finds John McCain the least bit interesting......nobody!
Last election proved that.

Thumbs up! I'm glad that politcians are trying to connect and stay in touch with their constituents.

beyond popular belief I love arizona, there are so many great people in arizona. Senator McCain should feel privledge to represent such wonderful people from a truley unique and awesome state.... (With the exception of the sheriff, he alienate's and stamps on peoples rights)

It's ridiculous that Eliot Engel had the nerve to comment back on Anderson's comment. It's pathetic that senators wasted that much time to get an autograph from the president like a groupie. Mr. Engel don't you think it would be a better idea to draft a wonderful and very much needed peice of legislation that would capture the president's attention immediately. Then he would just invite you into his office, don't you think? I think congressmen should be paid by the hour, give them a time clock, and lets fire them when they are late!

Well, welcome to the technological advances of the new millenium, my friend.

the old man and his technology.
great.
go ahead with yo bad self, CNN

Sen "Geriod", my grandson, 6 yr's, said "Pop-Pop Pres Obama on TV, way is he(U) on tonigh?

It won't be long before John will have (8) blackberries!! That's right!! One to put in every one of his homes/condos! Afterall, Republicans really are "CONSERVATIVE" aren't they!!!!!

The Partys over, literally ...twitter that!

Ain't he hip?

Obama has a Blackberry so McCain gets a Blackberry. McCain would dye his skin tone if he thought he could get away with it....Dumb fool.

For heaven's sake, do the Republicans have to copy-cat everything Obama does? The Republicans are looking like fools.

Old man tweets at clouds.

Uh oh. This could be dangerous.

That is so cool that John has gotten a Blackberry!! Twitter is another name for Fritter. He has also mastered the crayon and a simple pencil sharpener. John...where is Joe The Plumber? Remember how important he was just six weeks ago???

Blackberry or not, he's still a capital L Loser..

If Jindal is smart as the neo-cons claim he is, he would have left katrina alone in his pathetic speech last night.
It offend the sensibility of the American people to open that raw wound of bush injustice and cruelty to the plight of new Orleans after katrina.

Senator McCain welcome to the 21th century.

Now please change the old and tired GOP talking points clearly they are staled and are not fooling the American public anymore. How about new talking points like vote for what best for your state and do not keep voting the old tired GOP party line vote 99.99% of the time.

Is this really news? Who cares?

At his age he should start completing his" AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE I DIE LIST".!!! GOD BLESS HIM.

There goes the last intelligent republican in the Senate. Off to Twitter-land. Since when is "tweet" an acceptable verb?

We're doomed.

How nice of you to join the rest of us here in the 21st century, Senator.

or should i say...my friend

too late buddy.!

And we care why?

McCain can now use technology everybody else has been using for 10 years and we are supposed to be impressed?

He is still a disrespectful, dishonorable, and bitter old man who needs to retire. No technology can change that.

Welcome to the 21st century Sen. McCain! If you run into trouble with your gadgets, feel free to stop any 10 year old and ask for help.

Johns the man now,beam him up Scotty,hes ready for lift off.

McCain should have been President – he's the real deal.

I hope he got it for free, since he invented it.
