McSame, yesterday.
For the second time in two days, McCain has made a reference to "Czechoslovakia." His answers were about contemporary events, not history. McCain did not use the current name Czech Republic, the country formed in January 1993 when Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
McSame, the day before.
"I was concerned about a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several days. One was reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia."
For those keeping score at home, Czechoslovakia ceased to exist 15 years go.
Even the Decider knew that -- in 2000.
"A guy gets up and quizzes me -- it's my fault for trying to answer -- but John McCain says something about the 'ambassador to Czechoslovakia.' Well, I know there is no Czechoslovakia (there's a Czech Republic and a Slovakia), but yet it didn't make the nightly national news. I'm not going to gripe about it, but the media question is starting to pop up."
I know it's probably elitist to suggest that a potential Commander-in-Chief actually be aware of such trivialities like which European countries still exist. But when Chimpy can talk shit about your mastery such facts -- you really have no business running for president of anything.

Continually referring to Czechoslovakia is a sign of a cold war mentality. The famous revolutions in Czechoslovakia of 1968 and 1988 may dominate McCain’s thinking because they involved struggle.
We don’t need another rebublic in any office high than dog catcher in this country ever again as far as I am concerned. AND better dems please.
Not to mention where the Sudetenland was, etc.
Are you questioning John McCain’s integrity?
Kerry spoke fluent French and Spanish.
We got Idiot II anyway.
Brain Dead Electorate.
No, his intelligence.
He lost his integrity years ago.
Yes.
Heh, ask him where Gondwana is.
He’s an expert in foreign affairs and winning wars and on the economy….that’s what the MSM keeps telling us….that’s why he has a chance to get elected.
And who’s its leader?
I guess McCranky is just one wild and crazy guy in Czech pants.
Ask him where Rekevicki Iseman is? Isn’t that in the North Atlantic or something?
McLame is headed off for a fact-finding mission to Genovia.
Of course, he’ll order the 7th fleet to steam off the coast of Syriana as soon as he assumes office.
McBush is Stupid … just Like all those whiners voting for him …
Isn’t he visiting Yugoslavia on this trip?
remember the Maginot!
Yeah, he’s touring an automobile factory there.
what a line
Isn’t he visiting Grand Fenwick as well?
But when Chimpy can talk shit about your mastery such facts — you really have no business running for president of anything.
Actually you have no business speaking or appearing in public, period.
I heard he’s been negotiating crystal energy with the Atlantians…it will solve the oil problem once and for all.
“Senator Craig: tear down that stall!”
while st john continues to imitate the first stages of dementia, the MSM will cover it up. Just like they covered up Regans affliction in his last term, so they all continue to provide cover for st john. Remember how various members of the MSM told us repeatedly during the primaries, just wait until the primaries are over, then we will go after st john just as much as we do the dems…… Still waiting……Still waiting…….As long as the MSM runs interference for McCain, the mass of the american electorate will hear nothing negative about him that lasts more than 1 news cycle. Yet, at the same time, even comedians will become Obama surrogates, and what ever they say will be taken as gospel right from Obama. Yet the “conservatives” will continue to bitch about how liberal the MSM is.
For those keeping score at home, Czechoslovakia ceased to exist 15 years go.
that is just so “Old Europe”
Will McCain negotiate with Prince Humperdinck of Florin?
Got a ZPM handy to use? *grin* (and if Dr Mckay actually existed he would not be sharing with McSame, unlike Harper, he’d be adamant about keeping the damned thing. And insulting besides.)
Pardon my fangirl moment…it had to be done. ^_^
Someone should ask McCain about his position on reuniting Gondwanaland.
LOL
While in Europe, he’s sure to visit United Republic of Tanganyika and Zanzibar.
I give the producers of that show kudos, because the Mckay character is very much Canadian to his fingertips (as is the actor) and voices a lot of things people would LOVE to say to the US government in general. There is NO filter on his mouth, and he’s a jerk besides, to use the polite term. AND they get away with it. Season 5 just started at that. *gigglesnorts* Can’t help but love it. Sneaky, funny scifi goodness with a few sneaky bits towards the insanity that is this government.
I can just imagine Dr Mckay laying into Chimpy or McSame if they said the wrong thing(and they would!).
the panderer-in-chief-in-waiting has opened up Andorra’s box
with a short stop in Celesteville
As inheritor of the Ring, McCain will, of course, be taking up residence in Mordor.
You sure about that? He looks more like Gollum to me…
Did he fly out of Gotham City?
Now that you mention it…
Blue Texan!!
That photo is my nomination for the next New Yorker cover.
railroad travel in Europe is very efficient, but he’ll insist on flying the Straight Squawk Express, because
“that’s not trains we can believe in“
Yeah tis a goodie.
where was McCain’s czech mate, Lindsay Graham? Isn’t he the Maverick whisperer?
He’s McVacant’s fluffer….when Gramm’s not around…Heh.
I think we’re all supposed to cut McCain a little slack. Did he mention that he was a POW yet? His brain is still a POW anyway when Czech Republic and Slovakia were born.
I’ve met people from both and boy do they insist on the difference between the two. Like Virginia and West Virginia, :]
Or Mexico and New Mexico.
Or England and New England.
…or Shiite and Sunni.
c*nt and trollop.
we could never afford the foreign policy ignoranmous jerk we currently have as POTUS.
But the question was never was (and still isn’t) “Can We Really Afford Another President Who Doesn’t Know Jack About The Rest Of The World?”. The REAL question is: can we really afford a citizenry that doesn’t Know Jack About The Rest Of The World?”. The idiot presidents are just the symptom. Its the idiot citizenry that really hurts.
Ah well if McSame can find the road signs that point to Czechoslovakia, maybe he can take himself back to Austria-hungary or the Ottoman empire too. He’s already in the Twilight zone anyway.
