There is however, an Iran/Pakistan border. So easy to get the two countries confused these days.

Alan, be nice. It’s not like McCain knows how to pull up Google Earth or Wikipedia to familiarize himself with the geography of the Middle East.

Well I think McPander was around when the Globe was invinted, but I bet he still thinks there are sea monsters in the middle of the Alantic.

Everyone in the US should find themselves a map, then find Iran on the map, then look at the country on Iran’s eastern border, and the one on its western border.

The names of those two countries may seem familiar. That’s because the US military has thousands of soldiers in both of them.

And if McCain doesn’t know or can’t remember this fundamental geographical point, then he’s got a problem.

You would think after bragging about being a better candidate because he’s been there many times and understands the region he would be more familiar with it. Guess being there is person isn’t all that valuable after all, the inside of air conditioned command centers, armored vehicles and all the bombed out buildings in the distance start to look the same after a while.

I can’t find the venom to attack Sen. McCain on this issue. Get ready for the McCain-Guiliani “American Hero” ticket. There will be so much flag waving and talk of 9-11 that we won’t be able to be critical of McCain. We must find a way to look beyond what is presented and be critical. Bless this old man’s heart. He has served us well and it’s time for him to retire.

Never mind if McCain can or can’t find Iraq/Iran/Pakistan on a map.

Can he find his car keys? Does he remember what day of the week it is? When he sees his wife first thing in the morning does he turn to her and ask, “WHO are you and why are you in my house?”

First things first.

Ha ha, FuRy, and I’m really hoping that’s a joke, and just in case anyone’s wondering I’ll make this easy:

Alan, can you describe on Hannity and Cums some evening exactly what it’s like to be a male sex toy for the Obama camp?

“Male sex toy for the Obama camp” sounds like A LOT of fun.

Guys, look at this “corrected” map of the Middle East:

The other day while browsing the TV channels, I came across a clip of a speech McCain was giving. At one point he was asked how he felt about the fact that many insurances do not pay for birth control pills, but they pay for Viagra. And conservatives, I am not saying this to be nasty but I was completely shocked at watching his response ~ he had this blank stare on his face, was rubbing his face and began mumbling something that could not be understood. Now of course I am not a fan of McCain and think he is to damn old to be running for president in the first place, but I swear his behavior resembled someone that has Dementia.

Did anybody else see this?

Wait a minute Alan, if McCain thinks Iraq borders Pakistan either he’ll send more soldiers to Afghanistan thinking they can steal the oil, or he’ll bomb Pakistan thinking they are working on nuclear weapons (which they already have!) to bomb Israel.

You are a neo-con paid shill and it is pathetic people think you are a liberal. You are as liberal as John McCain, you corporate puppet stooge. Demonstrate your anarchistic credentials before anyone ever thinks you speak for the left rather than your contract you token Quisling turncoat whore.

McSame as it ever was………

Senator McCain, I hate to be the one to inform you (actually I suspect one of your aides will since you can’t, er, get online) that you are going to lose by a landslide in November. It’s not because you are a bad guy (which you may be, afterall you called your wife that C-word) but because after eight long years in hell, we’ve seen a way out.

Barack Obama and a Dem Senate and House will allow America to change alot of things and make life better for the vast majority of Americans and not just your lobbyist friends (see Phil Gramm).

I predict that you Sen. McCain will even lose your home state of Arizona.

Geez for the most part what a bunch of arrogant, whining, disrespectful slackers!

The childish remarks and animal noises aimed at McCain indicate most in the thread have never attended college and who knows how many finished high school?

Its “too much” not “to much”, DUH! oh wait, its okay if you make a small slip up but not okay for anyone else of a different political stripe. what hypocrisy!

Anyone who has studied with professors knows they sometimes say things exactly how McCain said this borders gaff, professors will say the common obvious stuff backwards sometimes. it happens.

to mock John McCain over this is slacker stupidity 101

And 101 is a reference to the basic or first level of a class. Edumacation is a foreign and scary word to some of you folks, so I will try to use words that are simple

And Obama thinks he’ll be dealing with foreign leaders for “the next 8-10 years”.

………………………………………….

Jon Stewart ran the clip on on Daily Show.
I actually felt sorry for him, but I’m SURE it was because pre 2000 McCain would just said, “of course contraception should be covered”, while McCain the Pander bear doesn’t know WHAT to say!

This is too funny. McCain believes that Viagara, not birth control, should be covered by insurance. I guess men can’t use the old “can’t get a boner” excuse for collecting welfare. (Conservatives: I’m being sarcastic).

What countries border Pangea?

Also, where are Narnia, Chum, and Nod?

Hey, Iraq DOES border Pakistan. And that border is also known as “Iran”. I would think that if McCain claims to be an expert on foreign relations, he should have a basic knowledge of geograpy.

Narnia is bordered by the Shire.

TDro,
I bet you had to look at a world map yourself to figure that one out. Your candidate (Obama) would fare less about the United States.
