Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran

I’m with Arianna here – McCain’s blunder (his repeated insistence that Al Queda was being trained in Iran) was way underplayed last week. Keith Olbermann and Jon Stewart covered it on their shows… but other than a few other brief mentions on CNN, I saw nothing substantial about it in the press. It’s important to point out here that the other mentions I saw brushed it off as nothing more than a small linguistic snafu – that somehow he didn’t mean it, but simply misspoke.

Now, I have watched this moment multiple times. Senator Lieberman (TURNCOAT) is clearly uncomfortable as McCain babbles on, and when he finally can’t take it anymore, he interrupts McCain to correct him (“extremists, Johnny, EXTREMISTS”) - doesn't this appear to be totally NEW information for McCain? Watch it 10 times and please tell me if you see/hear any spark of recognition in the old guy. He's generally confused. Or, even worse, he MEANT to say it... remember this little ditty?

Not the only time McCain "misspoke" on this issue, however. Maybe they should put Senator Turncoat on the payroll - keep McCain in line.

What makes this even more ridiculous is the “foreign policy expert” label that McCain seems to have had slapped on him – in part by the very same news outlets that have essentially glossed over this story.

Then again… in terms of having a President who knows anything AT ALL about the Middle East… I guess we have nowhere to go but up.
