Another Senior Moment

Is John McCain just out of touch on world affairs (remember the Shia/Sunni multi-gaffe) and geography, is he hostile to some of our NATO allies, or is he having lapses?   His foreign policy advisor says that McCain intended to say EXACTLY what he said.   I think the foreign policy advisor is covering for a senior moment (is it early Alzheimers?).   Today's CNN report is on this video.

If elected, Palin will have to step in early on, because McCain seems to be losing it.

I watched the video, millions have, and he seems confused and unable to discern what the interviewer was saying. How does what he said make any sense?

The interviewer has a very thick accent. I'm from Texas and used to hearing Spanish accents, and she was difficult for me to understand at first. I think trying to make political points with this clip will backfire, but - keep trying.

McCain knows who our allies are. Maybe you should watch the clip again. This time take off the partisan blinders.

McCain is from Arizona, as am I, and there are a ton of people with strong accents in Arizona. Sorry, doesn't work no matter how much you try to make it. Even after what she said was clarified he stayed with his orignal comments.

Um... she clarified that she was speaking about Spain. It was clear he knew what he was saying. The president of Spain knew what he was saying and defended McCain to his own press.

I am happy to keep this at the top where rational people can see it. That will bode well for McCain. Soooo. Bump!
