Stupid Staffers

McCain helped create the BlackBerry?

Sen. John McCain’s senior domestic policy adviser said Tuesday that the BlackBerry mobile e-mail device was a “miracle that John McCain helped create.” Sen. John McCain “laughed” when he heard his adviser’s remark about the BlackBerry, another aide says. The adviser, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, discussing the nation’s economic woes with reporters, said that McCain — who has struggled to stress his economic credentials — did have experience dealing with the economy, pointing to his time on the Senate Commerce Committee.
