That's NOT THE POINT and you KNOW IT
Spain is pissed off and sees this as an insult. it will go around Europe and the mainstream press will no longer be able to ignore it or cover it up from the voters.
Shouldn't they put the Nation first?
Excuses, excuses.
He looked awful. Really pasty and the way he was talking was trance like.
It struck me as somewhat alarming.
I've seen it first hand.
The "Fish" story earlier was (to me) one of those kinds of stories that older people tell when they are losing it. Telling that fish story put John in a little "happy" place for a few moments.
That's why reporters are no longer in the front of the Straight Talk Express bus......Karl Rove is afraid John will keep telling the "Fish Story".
He immediately demanded an increase in troops.
"Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin took questions with her running mate Wednesday night, offering at one point to play "stump the candidate" with a mostly friendly Michigan crowd.
Asked for "specific skills" she could cite to rebut critics who question her grasp of international affairs, she replied, "I am prepared."
"I have that confidence. I have that readiness," Palin said. "And if you want specifics with specific policies or countries, you can go ahead and ask me. You can play 'stump the candidate' if you want to. But we are ready to serve."

Truth is I don't think it would take much to stump that candidate.
Unbelievable.
Also, why does the Republican Party continue to nominate candidates for President with such obvious mental handicaps to what used to be the most economically powerful country in the world and what is the most powerful military country in the world?
He is really starting to creep me out. The inept cue card readings, the glazed over look, and his wandering answers to specific questions is convincing me that this pace is too much for him to handle.
His eyes are also freaking me out. They're like shark eyes, soulless, and deadly.
I never knew that John McCain and I had so much in common.
However, I have never ever ever claimed to be qualified to be President.
I know. Although I was not a POW, I did fly very many combat missions over North Vietnam - many more than McCain - and I'm now old.
Although I may make a good grandfather, you would never want me as your US President!
some of it at MSNBC'S FIRSTREAD:

She was with Rick when her water broke.
Bill Frist has seen him on TV, he feels McCain is as fine as Terry Schiavo.

My grandpa was like this in his 90s, often lucid and alert, but guessing at appropriate responses when a little bit of background noise, or tiredness, got in the way.
Spain is Spanish and Spanish President
Mexico you say Mexican President....I've never heard the President of Mexico called the Spanish President.
Spain is a Kingdom and Zapatero is Spain's Prime Minister.
Foreign affairs seem to be a problem for all Americans, not just John Mc Cain.
Spain does not have a president. Spain is a constitutional monarchy. It has a king and a prime minister.
Zapatero is prime minister of Spain, not president.
Please check the tape again ... did the reporter really say president of Spain?

His tone is a little condescending, from what I can hear while listening to the Spanish translation. Apparently McCain feels he can get away with telling Latinos that he really understands economics, and that he's very involved in solving (rather than precipitating) economic problems. When he is drifting off and talking about Calderon as a friend (because he accepts money to fight drug cartels) then the interview says, "YES but we're talking about Spain" and asks again about Zapatero. McCain remains vague and noncommittal and just addresses Latin America.
This would explain his recent actions. I'd bet money on it.
1. Of course John McCain knows where Spain is. Don't be stupid. He's the greatest leader since the pharaohs.
2. Those silly Spanish reporters. They messed up the translation. In fact they were using Miliki's translators.
3. POW! For five years, John McCain was treated like he was in the Spanish Inquistion. Of course he knows where Spain was. Look - there's Sarah Palin! She kills moose!
Fortunately, McCain doesn't know that Zapatero translates into "shoemaker," or he'd throw something in about how much respect
he has for the folks who handcraft his wife's footwear...
McCain is unfit and she's even worse.
On a happy note: My republican neigbor was listening to NPR yesterday exposing Palin's pathological lying. She pulled into my driveway and asked if I had more Obama yard signs. I said you bet! She is scared to death of Palin, and angry that McCain made such an irresponsible choice. The tide is turning folks....
My crimson red town is a barometer.....we now have several Obama yard signs on our normally very republican block. :-)
--My view from the trenches.
Or maybe I have
The reporters have a job to do....and can't come back to their editor with the same all blah blah blah that McCain has been spewing fopr the last xx years.
Being held in Guatanamo for six years.
Read about an Al Jazeera journalist who was tortured.
No wonder that the Bush administration did not join the war crimes tribunal.

Wassilla, Pop 7000 was left in a 27 million dollar debt by the Polar bear killer Palin.
For example: If she were mayor of say the City proper of Chicago That would be a......
drum role: 115 Billion dollar debt.
Imagine what she will do the rest of the country!
Now that's change you can count on!!!!
For grins run your own city: Palin cost each person in Wasilla $3,857 per person. x 300 million Americans. ....and that's our future folks!
Maybe he should have first consulted with Sarah Palin, what with all her foreign policy experience . . .

Says it's intentional, McCain coolness follows along with Bush's coolness toward Spain. Really odd take on it.
Seriously, could McCain be experiencing the early signs of DEMENTIA?
This is scary for us to suffer through someone's condition/disease. We have done it once with bush's alcoholic/drug problem not to mention his sociopath disease.
Do Americans not care enough for THEMSELVES that they don't care if we elect another republiCON who is sick and could care less about them?
(my apologies if this is a repeat - I though I alreay put this in a comment but now I can't find my comment and I'm so confused I might as well be in spain)

Obama/Biden '08.
There's just a teeny bit more at stake here than seeing nasty people possibly upsetting an elderly person. On that basis criticism of Sarah Palin is off limits because it is insulting to skanks.
Honestly, I'd much rather risk the ire of the blogosphere, or even that of my neighbors, than entrust my safety and the safety of my family, friends, and country, to a man that can't differentiate between Spain and Mexico. I suppose, however, that this is just another example of "more of the same" since our current administration couldn't differentiate between Afghanistan (responsible for 9-11) and Iraq (not responsible for 9-11).
And as a side note, I'd feel much more comfortable entrusting the safety of our nation to my eight month old daughter than to McCain or Pallin. At least my daughter can't reach the nuclear "red button."
was. What's stupid of them is that all they had to do was to
say that McCain had a hard time following the interviewer
due to his heavy accent, and he thought that the guy had said
"Zapata" instead of "Zapatero." I'm giving McCain the benefit
of the doubt, here, assuming that as a native of Arizona, he
knows who Zapata was--that may be a leap on my part.
Instead, the McCain campaign is going through more moves
than a circus contortionist trying to lie their way into proving
that McCain did, too, know that Spain is not in Latin America,
that McCain did not confuse Zapatero with Zapata, and that
McCain is not, in fact, getting transfusions of Dan Quayle's DNA.
It's a good thing that McCain's staff is not related to
Pinocchio, because they would require pall bearers
to carry their noses in front of them.
and second McCain is NOT a native of Arizona ! ! !
Do you know what being a native of a state means? It doesn't mean owning a house(or 2 or 3) in the state in which you live. Why don't you look up where he is really a native of.
From here, we have the feeling that the american government is making war everywhere because he doesn’t know anything about the people of the world outside its borders.
How can you have such power and be so ignorant?…
I believe it’s not really ignorance but also a way of preserving a “way of live” regardless of all the disasters it may provoque (human or ecological)…
But we hope very deeply that something will happen after these elections…
