The McCain Idiot Show UPDATE: “It’s a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border.”

Newsflash: there is no “Iraq-Pakistan border”

Watch it.

The foreign policy expert John McCain proves again why he finished at the bottom of his class. If I had a nickel for every McCain gaffe … and this guy wants to be president?

    Hey, he’s an expert on the Middle East, I hear. He’s been there several times. He’s been briefed on the pronunciation of a lot of their funny-ass names, too.

    And… he knows how to win wars!

    And I guess there are 57 states?

    And I guess there are 57 states?

    Is this a reference to the number of primaries/caucuses? A little help, here. I don’t read Cockslap Central, every day.

    Cockslap Central? Sounds fabulous, JP.

    Though it spoils the fun when I have to explain the sarcasm, I’m surprised you haven’t heard about Obama’s 57 states gaffe . . .

    I’m surprised you haven’t heard about Obama’s 57 states gaffe . . .

    Do you think he was referring to the states and territories that conduct primaries/caucuses?

    A simple “yes or no” response would do, if you could muster it.

    The point everyone misses here, is that no one knows for sure whether McSenile meant to say:

    * the Iraq-Iran border;
    * the Iran-Pakistan border, or;
    * the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

    Isnt that a fuckin’ amazingly dim-witted response from a guy running for POTUS? Goddamn right, it is.

    I mean, Jesus! We’re running TWO FUCKING WARS in that space! McCain’t doesn’t know the geography?

    He’s beyond a drooling invalid, politically. Recall him, and put someone even kookier in his spot. We need the ratings!

    Again… consider this guy finished in the bottom ONE PERCENT of his class… not a C student like Bush, not the bottom 10% or 20% - THE BOTTOM ONE PERCENT! (And that’s back when he was young and sharp)

    Bottom one percenter from the Naval Academy versus a professor from MTSU? We pick the former.

    Ned, Ask McCain about his recent references to Russia’s energy relationship with Czechoslovakia - a country that hasn’t existed in 15 yrs.

    Glen,
    Why do you post under that name: 2231 Riley Rd?

    Obama graduated magna cum laude from Harvard Law School. You cannot fake that — HLS is a meat grinder. Guys I’m a lifelong Republican, and I disagree with his politics, but come on guys, you cannot possibly argue that Obama’s not the smarter candidate. If you don’t like him, find some other way to argue it.

    JP, “yes.” Actually, I hadn’t heard that defense yet. But surely you’re not asserting that a candidate can make a mistake as glaring as that without being an idiot?

    “RealityCheck,”
    “Smarter” doesn’t equate with “better qualified,” and I don’t see that anyone here is asserting that Obama isn’t smart.

    William,
    What’s with posting someone’s street address?

    But surely you’re not asserting that a candidate can make a mistake as glaring as that without being an idiot?

    I’m asserting that he continually fucks up, with cameras rolling, on these issues that he’s trying to convince voters that claims to have the more serious and credible positions that affect the area. Yes, I can dig out those clips, if you want, but you have to promise to watch all of them.

    yeah so stupid…he doesn’t even know iraq borders afghanistan and he wants to be president.

    Hey, Josh Marshall has a nice roundup.

    I know the GOP is anti-intellectual, but really… don’t you wonder if McCain’t may be losing what cognitive function he may have once had?
