John McCain created the BlackBerry?

Quote:
Asked what work John McCain did as chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee that helped him understand the financial markets, the candidate's top economic adviser wielded visual evidence: his BlackBerry.

"He did this," Douglas Holtz-Eakin told reporters this morning, holding up his BlackBerry. "Telecommunications of the United States is a premier innovation in the past 15 years, comes right through the Commerce Committee. So you're looking at the miracle John McCain helped create and that's what he did."
Jonathan Martin's Blog: Holtz-Eakin: McCain helped create BlackBerry - Politico.com

Insert Al Gore joke here?

Well, close to everybody. If I get you the McCain campaign's email address, you can make that a reality.

Re John McCain created the BlackBerry?

McCain’s tenure [on the Senate Commerce Committee] is not as simple to encapsulate as McCain’s economic adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, tried to make it seem last week, when he held up a BlackBerry and credited its invention to McCain’s work on the committee. In fact, McCain voted against key legislation that paved the device’s way.
