Brought to you by the type of Republicans who went gaga over Gore in the 2000 election claiming to invest the Internet:

"Holtz-Eakin: McCain helped create BlackBerry
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.""

Oh, can I hear the squeaky sound of the McCain campaign trying to backpeddle their way out of this latest ditch? This proves once again that his economic advisors are really credible and up to the job.

Let's recap one more time. The man who doesn't know how to work "the email" or do "the Google", invented the Blackberry. Too bad McCain has no clue about how to use the Blackberry (not his own mind you because he doesn't operate one) for its purpose of accessing "the email" and "the Google."

The oldest technology of all, wheels, are flying off the McCain campaign bus.

This is on the same day Palin repeated the lie that her teleprompter went out at her acceptance speech. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/palin-and-the-t.html Right after she says she won't participate in the Troopergate investigation she originally called for and said she would participate in, and which incidentally is run by a non-partisan board of three Republicans outnumbered only two Democrats.

The McCain Palin crew seem to have a teenie eenie weenie credibility problem when it comes to technology and how they govern, among many many other things.

His top economic advisor did. Read the quote. Maybe his campaign doesn't speak for him? His campaign already said McCain doesn't speak for them, remember? Maybe it's mutual. LOL!
