Asked what work John McCain did as Chairman of the Senate Commerce
Committee that helped him understand the financial markets, the
candidate's top economic adviser wielded visual evidence: his
BlackBerry.
"He did this," Douglas Holtz-Eakin told reporters this morning,
holding up his BlackBerry. "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."

The Sarah Palin Broken TelePrompTer Myth
September 04, 2008 05:54 PM ET | Robert Schlesinger | Permanent Link

ST. PAUL?Interesting bit of myth-making, mistaken reporting or both.
Did Sarah Palin's TelePrompTer malfunction? A very little bit, but not
much.

RedState is reporting that Sarah Palin's TelePrompTer broke last
night, scrolling "significantly from where Governor Palin was in the
speech." Politico's Jonathan Martin disputes the report. "Perhaps
there were moments where it scrolled slightly past her exact point in
the speech," Martin writes. "But I was sitting in the press section
next to the stage, within easy eyeshot of the Teleprompter. I
frequently looked up at the machine, and there was no serious
malfunction. A top convention planner confirms this morning that there
were no major problems."

I too was sitting in the press section, (behind Palin and off to her
right side). I had a clear view of the TelePrompTer, and read along
with her.

On the BlackBerry, it took five years for a two-way pager to evolve
into a Personal Data Assistant with a full QWERTY keyboard. Ironically
its first product line emphasized e-mail, the service McCain says he
can't use. Would a man who has limited use of his hands invent a
keyboard that uses the thumbs? Oh, yes, Edison was partially deaf.- Hide
