McCain Camp Claim: McSame Invented the Blackberry

McCain’s top economic adviser Holtz-Eakin holds up his BlackBerry when asked by reporters Tuesday what work McCain did as Senate Commerce Committee chair that helped him understand the markets.

“He did this,” he says, pointing to his device. “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.”

2. How can someone invent something that they don't know how to use?
You mean the files are in the computer?

6. To quote the Bush campaign in 2000 (something I'm loath to do, believe me)...
Yeah. And I invented the remote control.

7. Wait! How can he even use a BlackBerry, with those crippled fingers of his?
The ones that can't manage a regular computer keyboard?
