7/2/2008 - This Guy is Running for President??? |

Whoops.
Senator McCain made another little oopsie the other day. Seems he confused Sudan and Somalia. Luckily for him, once again, he had someone to step up from behind him to whisper in his ear and help him get it straight. I guess all those war-torn African countries look alike to him or something. I know he doesn't want anyone thinking he's going to be Bush's 3rd term but when he makes ridiculous gaffes like this, it's hard to see it any other way. Note how I'm steering way clear of the he's-too-old-to-remember-shit line here. I'm being generous by saying he's just confused like our current Ding-Dong-In-Chief. Is it just me or does it seem like the good senator makes mistakes like this a LOT??? I'm just sayin'... |

It's the fungus eating his grey matter that makes him seem senile. So it's not real senilism, it's funghi. |

He seems like a bad mix of Bush's policies and Reagan's oops moments. |

Meh. It's hard to tell from that little blurb. My core circle of friends will occasionally reference each other using the wrong names. I think I've use my own name in the place of a friend's name before. The other day my roommate wrote "green onions" instead of "green peppers" on the grocery list.
There just isn't enough evidence here that he really meant to say "Somalia". And this isn't quite as bad as when he mixed up the Sunni and Shi'ites. |

He does have quite a few of these moments, which makes it difficult to distinguish between a simple mistake and his not knowing what the hell he's doing.

/shrug My mom hasn't gotten my name right when yelling at my brother and me in 35 years.
Public speaking is tough...and it's easy to make a mistake. I really didn't care when Bush did it. I don't really care when McCain does it...and I really don't care when other politicians do it...especially if their off the teleprompter. |

Some folks sleep on a problem, but you can camp on one as well. Camping is for the mind what a high-speed run on the highway is for a car. It tends to blow out all the sludge that accumulates in the type of urban driving most of us are forced to do in order to earn a living.-- Tim Cahill
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
-- Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The most alarming sign of the state of our society now is that our leaders have the courage to sacrifice the lives of young people in war but not the courage to tell us that we must be less greedy and wasteful.
-- Wendell Berry
