Too Easy! McCain Invents Blackberry

This one basically writes itself, so you don't need Mystery Democrat's help here.

John McCain's chief economic advisor, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, who is something of a liability to the campaign inasmuch as he is in the occasional habit of telling the truth, has apparently credited his boss with inventing the Blackberry.

UPDATE: I think this story plays into two different (if overlapping) frames: first, that McCain is a dishonorable lying liar, a frame that was set up pretty well by the "Dishonorable" ad. The second frame would be that McCain is not serious, that he's impish, impulsive, and reckless - the downside of the "maverick" label.

When Palin was selected, I thought the careless/reckless frame would be the best response, especially given the petulant and underprepared manner of the choice, but the process story on the selection process pretty much died after her convention speech was well-received.

Still, it seems like people know that Barack and Biden are serious and sober, maybe even a little dull. And while David Brooks thinks that the weirder candidate will win, I think that if Obama/Biden is the default, comfortingly stable ticket, and if McCain/Palin is the News of the Weird ticket, people might take dull over odd, especially with the economy flaming out...
