They spelled "Barack" wrong at least once. :P
Amusing concept. Personally, I preferred the ones FoxNews posted a few days ago, especially this one.

I had a blackberry 850 back in the day. That was a great little device. Just a few lines of text, enough to get the gist and send a reply. It did most of what I use my current blackberry for. Gosh, I guess I'd have to give up Twitterberry...

The First Chuckberry.
These were amusing. Looks like a good bathroom book.

The Cheney ones were hilarious.

I like how it is available as a book, or for the iPhone.

I think I'd be delighted to get messages from Kucinich asking if he can grow weed in my garden.

It's hard to tell exactly which kind of Blackberry Obama uses, but I'm pretty sure it's a modified Curve, not a Storm (as pictured on the website).

And that's true about Joe Biden doing Christopher Walken impersonations. He knows the entire Pulp Fiction monologue by heart; saw him do it at the DNC.

Ah, Celebrity BlackBerry Sightings (there's a website for everything, apparently) identified it as an 8700c in Feb 2008. Wonder if the superphone is the same model or not.

I'm glad at least one other person appreciated the irony of the book being available on an iPhone, but not a Blackberry.

I rather liked Cheney's love of pandas, and the follow-up. Too bad those are the last ones before you're reminded there is more in the book. It works rather well in this basic internet interface.

I wish Kasper Hauser was funnier. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Sadly, the link says "coming soon."
Some of these made me laugh pretty hard.

The device in that picture is an 8700. Trackwheel, not trackball, and no camera or MMC slot.

"I'm sorry, are you Bill Keane, creator of the Family Circus? Because you are making me laugh. I'm pretty sure it's a modified Curve. The device in that picture is an 8700. Trackwheel, not trackball, and no camera or MMC slot. Now if you'll excuse me, BSG is about to start, and this jumbo bag of peanut M&Ms isn't going to eat itself. Good day, sir."

I'll side with the bunch who clicked expecting to see a RiM prototype from maybe 1985 -- some rough-hewn wooden box with a 68000, a clothes-hanger antenna, and a speak-and-spell keyboard hanging out.
