From ABC News:
McCain and the BlackBerry
This morning McCain domestic policy adviser Douglas Holz-Eakin was asked what Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., could point to from his work on the Senate Commerce Committee that would prove to the American people that he has experience on technology issues.
"He did this," Holz-Eakin said, holding up his BlackBerry. "Telecommunications in the United States, the premiere innovation in the past 15 years comes right through the Commerce Committee. So you're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create. And that's what he did."...
Even more remarkably, he did this using only a piece of flint and crude stone tools.
The first message he sent: "Watson. The fundamentals of the economy are strong."
