I have generally refrained from political topics here because there is certainly already enough of that on the Internet but this one is just too much to pass up. Senator McCain, while being interviewed by a Florida affiliate of a Spanish radio network seems to be totally at a loss about who the president of Spain is or, if taken another way, where Spain is at all. This comes only a few minutes after the claim that he is more prepared than Senator Obama to lead because he is more familiar with foreign leaders.
After the interviewer presses him a couple times on the point and tries to focus him on the fact that Prime Minister Zapatero isn’t from Mexico and isn’t a drug lord either McCain comes back at her saying, “All I can tell you is that I have a clear record of working with leaders in the Hemisphere that are friends with us and standing up to those who are not. And that’s judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with Latin America and the entire region.”
