MIAMI - 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 today, "You're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create."
McCain has acknowledged that he doesn't know how to use a computer and can't send e-mail, one of the BlackBerry's prime functions.
Holtz-Eakin's argument is similar to one advanced by Gore, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2000. Gore once boasted about "taking the initiative to create the Internet" through technological and educational policies. He later was mocked for claiming to have invented the Internet, although he never made such a claim. Adviser says McCain helped create the BlackBerry -- baltimoresun.com

Gore founded the internet. Look where that got him. Will that blackberry cure the economy of it's ills or stop our dependency on oil? If not, who really gives a  ? That's right up there with the (McCain can't use the internet) thing.

Looks like I will be getting rid of this Republican invented Blackberry and going back to my old pager....
If that is true that they (GOP) invented the blackberry, then it's the only good thing to have came out of that side of the system....
