Whether he wins or loses, we must never forget

John McCain invented the Blackberry. Strange that he should invent something with a keyboard since his war injuries clearly keep him from using such things. No, actually they don't, he's just a techonological dinosaur.

And no, he didn't really invent the Blackberry. But Al Gore got hounded mercilessly with the "He invented the internet!" meme when he said something that wasn't even half as bald-faced about his work in government that lead to the development of the modern intertubes. McCain doesn't get off easy for this. Be sure to remind everyone who thinks red during the election that their candidate and his people thinks he invented the Blackberry.

Hey, at least he didn't claim he invented Post-Its right in front of this chick who actually worked at 3M and knew the real guy who did or anything...

No wonder he can afford [TBD] homes!

I love that "I INVENTED THE BLACKBERRY" was his team's response to the question "How has his work in the Senate furthered his understanding of the financial world?" Because he, no shit, made this device that financial types use (and college girls on a Verizon plan get for free). Clearly, the guy who invented ticker-tape knew more about stocks than like anyone.
