>>McCain Invented the Blackberry?<<

John -

That's a really bad interpretation of what happened. An advisor to McCain said, essentially, that McCain's work on the Commerce Committee had helped to fuel growth in the telecommunications industry.

Now I've seen it being reported that McCain claimed to have invented the Blackberry.

That is as distorted as the oft-reported story about Al Gore claiming to have invented the Internet, which of course he never said.
