Hey Waterloo: Did McCain help you create the Blackberry (Y/N?)

From Jonathan Martin at Politico.com:

"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."

And here we thought McCain didn’t use e-mail and that BlackBerry was Canadian.
