Weird thing in footage of McCain by the Temple in Jordan. . .When

[annabanana]

he says "it has been reported in the media". . .you can see Linsey Graham whispering something to him. Was he prompting him to use the "reported in the media" line? It sure looks like that. And THEN Lieberman tells him that Al Qaida aren't the extremists he wants in the next line.

(NB: Adding stupidity on top of stupidity, McCain repeated his "slip of the tongue" again later.. .)

Dear Lord what an idiot.

1. mcCain is Old and Senile

Democrats should be harping on that

3. NO, McCain is NOT senile, it's a fucking act

The Reich wingers see the second coming of Booshe in McCain, and because Gramps will be sleeping a lot, they can continue their theft of America.

Be afraid of this clown, be very afraid.

7. hell he scared me back when he was a pilot in 'Nam

2. I saw Lindsey's lips moving and wondered about that

My feeling is when GOPers lips moves it is a sign of lying. I didn't lose any sleep over it.

4. He's been making "slips of the tongue" like that for years

according to MSNBC. The press corps that have followed him either tired of reporting it or it didn't get much play. Here he did it on the world stage. That kind of crap is *really* dangerous. When one, through senility, subconscious, or, what have you can't keep one's talking points straight then they shouldn't be CiC.

edit to add - I'm sure LG was only there to make sure McInsane didn't step on it too bad, so yeah, I heard something too, and am sure they are terrified of John being off script.

5. Its not a mistake at all

If the RW repeats something often enough it becomes 'true' even though its a lie.

Remember all the WMDs in Iraq? Remember how Saddam was connected to 9/11?


He is setting up his bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran thingy for when he hopes to be elected.

8. I suspect you are correct

the problem is when you say it in the Middle East, you demonstrate that you are a complete ignoramus

[Supersedeas]

9. the RW will rely on the stupidity and racism of their target audience to get McCain elected --

will it work again?

6. I have seen a lot of footage of McCain on his international photo-op, and ...

... it seems that Graham is prompting him in every clip. It is exactly like when Reagan's second term was winding down and Nancy was feed him lines for the press.

10. Just how bad IS his medical condition, anyway?

Perhaps he IS in some pre-Alzheimer's state. You know the pressures of the office will make everything MUCH worse.
