Research in Motion's newest inventor

Al Gore: the internet :: John McCain : the blackberry

Apparently John McCain has more talents than I realized.  Looks like they need to get him on the payroll at RIMM – the company which so fabulously has taken Manhattan and the world by storm with the Blackberry (not to mention the terrific medium of communication called the BBM). 

According to McCain senior domestic policy adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin, the terrific device was “a miracle that John McCain helped create”.  Cnn’s political ticker had the quote:

“Telecommunications of 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,” said Holtz-Eakin. “And that’s what he did. He both regulated and de-regulated the industry.”

If only John McCain and Al Gore (who drew notoriety when he was dubbed “inventor of the internet” by the press) could come together now and have a think tank.  They use some of that innovation to invent better solar panels—or a fuel cell car that works.
