McCain gets confused (again) on world geography stating in an interview on ABC, "I think it's serious. . . . It's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq-Pakistan border."

McCain was responding to Diane Sawyer's question as to whether or not he agreed with Obama's comment that the situation in Afghanistan is "percarious and urgent."

1. He still thinks Czechoslovakia

is a country. Fifteen years after.

Can you imagine how it would hit the fan if Obama said something this stupid? The shitstorm would rage for weeks.

(I do believe I'm getting close to despising this dumb fuck as much as I despise Fuckface. I would not have thought it possible.)

[ultraist]

3. Agree, totally.

If Obama had said this...we'd see the clip on corporate MSM channels play over and over and over again (much like the "God Damn America" Wright clip).

4. That was one blunder that he got away with and never should have.

Ford took a beating during a debate when he said there is no Soviet domination in Eastern Europe. Now we all know he didn't mean that but it was such a stupid comment that he was held accountable. Having some guy run fro President who can't keep up with the changing world is frightening.

19. What's so funny about that is...

the dumb-ass-in-chief we have lampooned him unmercilessly 8 years ago about it.
You'd have thought he would have learned it by now.

[chelsea0011]

2. He's not confused at all. He perceives Iraq, Syria, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran and

all the rest in the area as just one giant cesspool indistinguishable from the others. Borders don't matter.

[babylonsister]

6. I think you hit the nail on the head; borders don't matter, and he doesn't care. nt

[hisownpetard]

20. McCain = Bombast Without Borders

[awoke_in_2003]

22. He probably believes

that Iranians are arabs, too.

[2peaches2]

5. He's so old

that he can't remember what is on the 21st century maps anymore !!!! This man is a joke and I am shocked that people can't see this.

[merci_me]

13. You know, I'm more than a little tired of the "old" jokes.

My husband who is almost as old, runs a very intense company while dealing with a third bout of cancer.

This has nothing to do with "old". The man is not, nor has he ever been smart, nor engaged. Look at shrub. He's much younger and just as stupid. Both are immature party boys who never grew up, but thanks to their daddies and granddaddies, have been foisted off on the world.

[awoke_in_2003]

23. I think that is why

he was selected as the republican candidate. They knew they are gonna lose this one, so they will let McCain be the sacrificial goat. Welcome to DU

[Mugsy]

7. Funny, but I'll give him a break here.

He wasn't talking about "Iraq" during the discussion, so he could have just said "Iraq" when he meant "Iran". Simple goof. Not Earth shattering.

Now, if he had been talking about Iraq, and then suggested there were problems between the two countries because they shared a border, THEN I'd say "nail him to the wall", but as it stands, it's a minor gaffe that doesn't deserve an evening news highlight.

[ultraist]

8. There is a real pattern here

McCain often gets confused. Voters should look at the whole picture: Does he have a sharp enough mind to take on perhaps the most difficult job in the world?

And..this is not just about McCain turning 72 in a few weeks. Is he fit to be President?

[screembloodymurder]

9. No!

He's lost it or at least a good portion of it.

[Hulk]

10. Give the old fart a break...he WAS, and probably is even less so, FIFTH from the BOTTOM ....

....or his grad class.

Oh whoa is me. The poor neocon/fascist party is self destructing, and there are how many more months before the election? God help this dumb ass fool.

Once again I inject reality....45-48% of this "we're #1" country are morons enough to vote for this idiot. We truly are a nation of morons. I'm ASHAMED of my society. God, we are an ignorant bunch of sluts.

[Jacobin]

11. Apparently, he'll be like a combination of Chimpy and St. Ronnie

Stupid and demented.

Lovely. Just lovely.

[damntexdem]

12. And I'm starting to get worried about the Lithuania/Pakistan border, too.

LOL!

[central scrutinizer]

15. And Iran is massing troops on its border with Cyprus

[whistle]

14. Confusion will be when he talks about the Canadian-Mexican border

[Dollface]

16. His expression reminds me of Bush after he heard about the WTC attack.

[ultraist]

18. An older version of Bush?

That is truly frightening!

[Dollface]

25. An older Bush with dementia. They didn't notice when Reagan was declining either.

[curiousdemo]

17. He forgot to take his Meds.....

Here you go John.....

[Towlie]

21. Here's a map.

They DO practically touch, after all. Only Iran is in between, and that's only about 740 miles along the shortest route.

[paparush]

24. Fuck McCain..the man is an embarrassment and i for one have had 8 long years

of being embarrassed by the people who are SUPPOSED to be representing me.

I hope he gets run over by the straight talk express.

Fuck him.

[barack the house]

26. That's it every McCain clip should come with horror movie soundtrack. Schweet...

Although no unpredictable screams, not a very sound proof home myself.

[KurtNYC]

27. "..don't know much about geography, don't much about the economy

but I do know that I love war,
and I know that if you love it more
what a hundred year war this could be..."
