Whoever come up with this piece of crap deserves to be fired out right immediately.
The original talk by Douglas Holtz-Eakin is as followed:
"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."
=============================================================
A lot of technology that we are using as consumer products today exists long time ago as military tech. Frequency band open to civilian use 15 years ago was so limited that one can count all allowed bands with two hands. What Mr. Holtz-Eakin tried to say is that as chairman of commerce committee, McCain deserves the credit of helping reform and legislate away obstacles so that telecomm industry can take off. You may disagree with Mr. Holtz-Eakin, but this kind of "journalism" is nothing more than swiftboating. I question John Kerry's war record as much as John McCain's, and that is none.
