McCain to make historic first visit to internet
POSTED July 21, 5:19 PM
Since Barack Obama is on an historic trip to the Middle East and Europe, John McCain is struggling to get some media attention this week.  His campaign brainstormed for weeks, desperately trying to match the drama and spectacle of the upcoming Obama rally at the Victory Gate in Berlin.

From Andy Borowitz:

In a daring bid to wrench attention from his Democratic rival in the 2008 presidential race, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) today embarked on an historic first-ever visit to the Internet.

Given that the Arizona Republican had never logged onto the Internet before, advisors acknowledged that his first visit to the World Wide Web was fraught with risk.

McCain aides said that the senator's journey to the Internet will span five days and will take him to such far-flung sites as Amazon.com, eBay and Facebook.

Sen. McCain said that he had embarked on his visit to the Internet to allay any fears that he is too out-of-touch to be president, adding that he plans to take additional steps to demonstrate that he is comfortable with today's technology: "In the days and weeks ahead, you will be seeing me rock out with my new Walkman."
