Move over, Al Gore. You may lay claim to the Internet, but John McCain helped
create the BlackBerry.
At least that's the contention of a top McCain policy adviser, Douglas
Holtz-Eakin. Waving his BlackBerry personal digital assistant and citing
McCain's work as a senator, he told reporters Tuesday, "You're looking at the
miracle that John McCain helped create."
]
"McCain has acknowledged that he doesn't know how to use a computer and can't
send e-mail, one of the BlackBerry's prime functions."

It was an immaculate conception.

If this were true the Democrats would be trying to blame him for the recent head on train
wreck that killed about 25 and injured many more! :-)

You all here do know Gore never made that claim, correct?
That was a smear campaign created by **** Armey. It wasn't even
something taken out of context, it was flat-out made-up. (Some might
even say it was a lie)
Its even on *snopes* for muther****inchrissakes.
From the /interview:
BLITZER: I want to get to some of the substance of domestic and
international issues in a minute, but let's just wrap up a little bit
of the politics right now.
Why should Democrats, looking at the Democratic nomination
process, support you instead of Bill Bradley, a friend of yours, a
former colleague in the Senate? What do you have to bring to this that
he doesn't necessarily bring to this process?
GORE: Well, I will be offering - I'll be offering my vision when
my campaign begins. And it will be comprehensive and sweeping. And I
hope that it will be compelling enough to draw people toward it. I
feel that it will be.
But it will emerge from my dialogue with the American people. I've
traveled to every part of this country during the last six years.
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.
During a quarter century of public service, including most of it
long before I came into my current job, I have worked to try to
improve the quality of life in our country and in our world. And what
I've seen during that experience is an emerging future that's very
exciting, about which I'm very optimistic, and toward which I want to
lead.

McCain had an "Al Gore" moment.
Remember when the Repubs jumped on Gore's statement? Let's see how fair
minded they are, whether they treat this lie as they did Gore's.

Q: Who is eligible for a COOSN?
A: Kookologists with 10 or more verifiable UV points may exchange these
points for a Cabal Obsidian Order Sombrero Number.
Q: Who is *not* eligible for a COOSN?
A: Certified net.kooks; notorious net.cretins; terminally clueless
****wits; previous winners of kook-awards, unless an official pardon has
been granted by the FNVW.
Q: How do I apply for a COOSN?
A: Make a Usenet post to alt.usenet.kooks (crossposting to your favourite
newsgroups is acceptable); to ensure that the FNVW actually sees your
request, try to use either of the following formats for the subject line:
[COOSN Application] Your name (or best known handle) here
[COOSN Request] Your name (or best known handle) here
Please provide a list of 10 UV points - along with verifiable evidence for
each point wherever possible.
Q: Can one Kookologist nominate *another* Kookologist for a COOSN?
A: Yes, but the proposer should supply a verifiable list of 10 UV points
for the nominee at the time of the nomination. Also, the nominee must
accept the nomination before a COOSN is issued.
Q: What happens if my Sombrero Number application is refused by the FNVW?
A: The Office of Darth Bawl is always looking for new candidates. Nuff
said.
Q: What are "UV points"?
1. Threats of violence, especially death. (one point per kook)
2. Lists, i.e. *real* lists, not just mentions of two or three names in
the same post. One list per kook, unless the lists are clearly meant to
serve different purposes.
3. Fanboi sites (one point per kook, not one point per site. Minimum
qualification is a whole page about you; pages containing lists don't
score extra if the list also appears on Usenet).
4. Fanboi newsgroups (one point per kook, not one point per group)
5. Attempts at real-life contact (e.g. posting phone numbers)
6. Fake awards, revenge nominations etc. (one point per kook)
7. Mentions in a newsgroup FAQ (e.g. soc.men).
8. Being the target of a Kooksuit (one point per kook).
