McCain constantly makes goofs like this and displays a basic lack of knowledge and understanding regarding basic issues like the differences between Shiites and Sunnis and who in Iraq is aligned with Iran, yet for some reason the Andrea Mitchells and David Gregorys of the world continue to portray him as some sort of foreign policy guru who cannot be questioned. Absolutely ridiculous.

Maybe he hasn't been to Prague yet. It's beautiful there.

For history buffs - remember reading about the German, Reinhard Heydrich, the guy who came up with the Final Solution? The guy who was shot in his open air car in 1942 as he was driving to work in Czechoslovakia? - I went by that church where the assassins hid out. Every single day there is a bouquet of flowers in front of that church in honor of the assassins. Left there from just plain every day citizens. It moved me to tears because I wasn't expecting to see the flowers.

Hmmmm, I ask myself if anyone out there is concerned that if McCain were elected her would need a VP that would actually be running things behind the scenes. OMG, that's a what is happening today!!!

This highlights why although is service to our country is admirable and his public service a cause for pride his being elected represents a HUGE risk during these trying times.

His incredible departure from the John McCain of 2000 is reason for serious debate and his inability to use the Internet, needing help with Economics and faux pas in current events is not trifle.

I guess the fact that he hasn't mentioned the threat of the Soviet Union, Ottoman Empire or the troubles in East Germany are signs that things aren't all bad and that there is hope.

This has gotten to the point where it is a real story. It is just sort-of-understndable misspeaking ont he one hand, but on the other hand, especially given the mini flap over this yesterday, it shows (1) McCain's age may be a suble issue in terms of keeping things straight; (2) McCain's age is an issue int he sense he still sees the world as the way it was when he was a middle aged (50 year old) man and Czechoslavakia was a nation; (3) if he is going to hammer so hard on forgeign policy, he should get hammered back and held to a high standard.... remember the Sunni v Shiite comments? Remember that he voted for this disaterous war in the first place? Imagine if Obama misspoke on such an issue twice in tow days after being corrected!

McCain is too old for the Presidency. He has health problems and hearing problems. How in the heck will he be able to hear the red phone ringing at 3:00 a.m. while he is in deep slumber? I respect the elders in our society, but my parents are in their early 70's and they are not as quick moving and sharp minded as they were 10 years ago. Also, the life expectancy of white American males is 75. There's a very, very good chance McCain will not make it through his first term. This country is in great peril. We need someone for the long haul. Even I accept the fact that my parents could drop at any time now. Give me a break. McCAIN IS TOO OLD FOLKS!

Not only is this post racist, but it makes no sense, as McBush doesn't "understand the needs" of anyone. He is cruising around in his wife's private jet, back and forth between their SEVEN houses, claiming that we are all a bunch of whiners and that our money problems are in our heads. Not to mention the fact that he seems to be more and more senile as the days go by. I wouldn't be surprised if he pees in the corner.

Just wait for the debates. That little gimp Leiberman won;t be on stage to whisper in McBush's Bell-tone hearing aide. Obama will run circles around McBush.

The Econ 101 Chapter 1 test has been handed in by Johnny Mc. Lieberman has corrected it. Of the four questions (true/false) Johnny got three correct. He did have trouble correctly spelling ECONOMICS, but after a few minutes and many erasures he did identify the correct spelling. He scored 75%, which turns out to be 30 points higher than his final grade average at the Naval Academy.

Bush who said it deserved to be a campaign issue: "A guy gets up and quizzes me [on world leaders] ... but John McCain says something about the 'ambassador to Czechoslovakia.' Well, I know there is no Czechoslovakia [there's a Czech Republic and a Slovakia], but yet it didn't make the nightly national news."

To finish 5th from last should have been a disgrace for his family. And from what I understand, he became a pilot on his dad's name AND he wasn't all that good at that.
