McCain Blackberry Joke
A McCain staffer made a comment to a press member that has reminded many of the Al Gore claim that he invented the Internet.
"You're looking at an invention that McCain helped invent.", claimed a McCain staffer while holding up a Blackberry.
While clearly a joke (and probably a dig at Gore), some folks missed the humor.
Obama staffers immediately responded with scathing criticism, claiming that this statement about inventing the Blackberry was one of the most preposterous things McCain has stated. They apparently missed the sarcasm and seized on what they saw as an opportunity to belittle McCain. The McCain staff laughed at the response by the Obama team, pointing out how they take themselves a little too seriously.
Apparently, in politics, you just can't make a joke! What's really surprising is that someone hasn't implied yet that the McCain Blackberry joke has racist undertones. Give it time...someone will.
