This will either blow over, or go down as one of the dumber statements of 2008:
MIAMI (AP) — Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped create the BlackBerry.
At least that’s the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing McCain’s work as a senator, he told reporters Tuesday, “You’re looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create.”
A McCain aide later dismissed the remark as “a boneheaded joke by a staffer.”
Gee, do ya think ?

Ironically, tomorrow, the Obama campaign will issue ad saying there was no way McCain could invent the Blackberry given the limited range of motion in his arms.

That is just about as stupid as “McCain Uses Walter Reed Middle School, Not Walter Reed Army Hospital as Backdrop” when he was talking about disabled vets. What an idiot. With Walter Reed Army Medical center for Veterans in shambles… McCain uses photo of Walter Reed Middle School in California for backdrop>. I guess the idiots in the RNC are trying to outdo the themselves in grandiose levels of stupidity, proving without a doubt, they really are unintelligent.
