With Spain, McCain shows That he is not Sane...

Catchy ditty that might make, no?

Priceless. Want to bet on whether the US media picks this story up? I'm betting it'll be buried or minimized, the same way his confusion about whether Iran is Sunni or Shia was.

Is that part of the print Post, or just an online campaign opinion section? I can't tell from the site. I'm looking for sightings on network and cable TV news, over an extended period of time as well, rather than the "Oh, look, McCain said something, better ignore it now that we've mentioned it" that we've seen before. Picking the story up would also include questioning McCain's self-proclaimed foreign policy chops.

I thought it showed an example of someone in the MSM assuming that McCain knew what he was talking about and stating ‘facts’ on that foundation.

A consensus (including figures in the MSM) is emerging on what happened—that McCain didn’t understand his interviewer, tried to cover that up, and now would rather insult Spain than admit he goofed: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/218038.php

A problem for this story is that it seems a small thing next the story about McCain being a dishonorable liar whose running mate was on the verge of being impeached.

Both stories are excellent examples of just how much like Dubya McCain is...

There are a lot of similarities, although I wonder how much of that is due to absorption by McCain of Bush’s warped personality. There is a lot of that going on in Washington. Getting McCain without having Bush first likely would have been much better, despite that McCain was a neocon and Bush wasn’t; it was probably easier for neocons to manipulate Bush than it would have been to work with their own guy, McCain.
