This is priceless given what the right wing has done to <a href="http://www.snopes.com/quotes/internet.asp">Al Gore</a> with their distortions on his involvement with the early Internet. Following that same logic one can only conclude that McCain claims that he has invented cell phones, WiFi and Blackberries.
"I am the former chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. The Committee plays a major role in the development of technology policy, specifically any legislation affecting communications services, the Internet, cable television and other technologies. Under my guiding hand, Congress developed a wireless spectrum policy that spurred the rapid rise of mobile phones and Wi-Fi technology that enables Americans to surf the web while sitting at a coffee shop, airport lounge, or public park."(McCain)
"He did this," Douglas Holtz-Eakin <i>(one of McCain's senior advisers) </i> 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."
