Leave it to the repugs to try to replace the Crawford Village Idiot with the Batshit Crazy Geezer.

Joe Klein describes McCain’s slip of the tongue as a brain fart. Brain Fart Express. Hey, it’s not such a big deal. Sure, it’s easy to make fun of. But we all do it. Simple slip of the tongue produced by a brain fart. Or is it the other way round? Whatever. No big deal. Sure it can be embarrassing in public. As long as the next one isn’t caught on t.v.

And this “correction” just in from Reuters

McCain, who strongly supported President George W. Bush’s troop increase a year ago, said the United States and its allies “stand on the precipice of winning a major victory against radical Islamic extremism.”

“The security gains over the past year have been dramatic and undeniable,” McCain said.

And this time, he got the extremist identification correct.

Al Qaeda and Shi’ite extremists — with support from external powers such as Iran — are on the run but not defeated,” he said. “

What? Al Qaeda …extremists–with support from external powers such as Iran???? Precisely which nation is McCain asserts is “supporting Al Qaeda”? If it’s NOT IRAN…then who precisely IS IT? Saudi Arabia? Libya? Egypt? That’s where most of these “foreign Sunni extremists” come from!

They are not electing McCain. They are appointing Romney to the presidency. They know McCain will either croak, or “step down” due to some old age malady early in his term, and the VP will be coronated without having to go through all that nasty “democracy” stuff.

McCain is not making mistakes. Please, for the love of god, don’t give him any “Bush” slack…

Well, that should have been no suprise, if you read his history it’s like one long list of failures and folks that have had to bail his ass out. What I can’t figure out is how can he fool that many people? Because if we can’t figure that out, we’re in trouble for at least another four more years. McCain looks REASONABLE compared to him, and that’s a dangerous thing.

Bush is not an economist but he is bad at his job.

Economists, I guess, make for bad politicians

We are in deep trouble because of Republic tax cuts and outragous spending. Too bad there’s not an opposition party capable of articulating that. Bush and the Republics will escape responsibility yet again.

Well yeah—I would never support him either.

The issue is how not to get the crapped kicked out of us on the “willing to defend america” schtick.
