Re: McCain: "Helped create" Blackberry (RIM)
McCain senior aide Matt McDonald said that the senator "laughed" when he heard the comment.
"He would not claim to be the inventor of anything, much less the BlackBerry. This was obviously a boneheaded joke by a staffer," McDonald said.

I agree it's a laughable claim, but the question remains, why did the senator's aide make it?

It's not the only one
"This was obviously a boneheaded joke by a staffer," a senior aide to McCain said.

Re: McCain: "Helped create" Blackberry (RIM)
So will "McCain claimed he invented the Blackberry" be a myth for the ages like the Gore Internet thing?

The Blackberry was a RIMjob? Who knew?
Maybe they should have called it the Dingleberry.
