If John McCain Was a Democrat...

Then this story would be all over the news:

“He didn’t have jurisdiction over financial markets, first and foremost,’’ Mr. Holtz-Eakin said, before wandering into more politically perilous ground.

“But he did this,’’ he said, holding up what looked like a BlackBerry. “The telecommunications of the United States, the premier innovation of the past 15 years, comes right through the commerce committee. So you’re looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create. And that’s what he did.’’

Dear Lord, did John McCain say he invented the BlackBerry? That's impressive.

But nope, none of that. Nothing like Al Gore and the "invention" of the Internet, when he actually said in an interview with Wolf Blitzer:

"During my service in the United States Congress, I took the initiative in creating the Internet. I took the initiative in moving forward a whole range of initiatives that have proven to be important to our country's economic growth and environmental protection, improvements in our educational system."

He created the Internet and was ridiculed for claiming to "invent" the Internet. By the same token, we should ridicule John McCain about "inventing" the BlackBerry.

*crickets*

I'd like to be placed into a chemically-induced coma and stay in that state until the media becomes a consistant, objective entity.
