McSame Continues To Distort Truth While His Washington Insider Emerges
McSame's distortions are getting worse and worse. One is left to wonder if J. Sid has crossed the line into derangement. Now, one of his economic advisers claims that Sid invented the Blackberry!
As ThinkProgress reports: "Speaking to reporters today, McCain campaign adviser Douglas Holtz-Eakin claimed that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is responsible for the "miracle" of PDAs. Waving around his Blackberry, Holtz-Eakin said:
He did this. 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.
"ThinkProgress received a response today from former FCC chairman Reed Hundt, who sharply criticized Holtz-Eakin's claim:
John McCain is so out of touch with America his economics adviser says he deserves credit for creating the Canadian company that invented the Blackberry. Message to Republicans: it's American entrepreneurship our President is supposed to encourage.
"Update As Matt Yglesias points out, McCain was one of just five senators to vote against the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
"Update Devilstower has more on McCain's tech record here".
As for his claim that he will reform Wall Street, Sid is off to a rocky start since only a Washington political insider would suggest forming a commission.
Barack Obama smacks Sid for his commission stunt...an anti-reform, typical Washington insider, foot dragging, non-solution.
