Rep: McCain Helped To Invent The Blackberry

McCain: yes, it was me!

A representative for Republican presidential candidate John McCain today stated the senator helped to invent the popular gadget known as the Blackberry. Personally, I think said rep ate some funny berries before he made that statement (just kidding, and do not eat random berries, as it can be poisonous).

The internet was in hysterics at his representative’s claims, in taking credit for the Blackberry, which was developed...in Canada. In other news, 35% of respondents in a poll chose their Blackberry over their spouses. 

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."

Al Gore, call your office.
