John McCain and Geography 101
Granted, this is a bigger story because it is a slow news cycle right now. Barack Obama is touring Iraqi and Afghan war-zones with 97% of the media in tow. The depleted media needs to report something John McCain is doing.

That something turned out to be a classic geography boner.



Uh, Senator, Iraq and Pakistan don't border each other. You're off by 700 miles and change.

Who was that political pundit that was asked about the importance of maps a while back? Who was it, who was it? Oh yeah, it was this broad.

Good one etantao.

FWIW, I don't care if that girl from South Carolina knows what planet she's on. She's got my vote and then some (wink wink, nudge nudge).

Oh man, this doesn't surprise me neither will it surprise me when the brilliant population of the good ole US of A elect him president.

At least he doesn't think we have 59 states.

I like how you guys just report on political blunders and haven't taken a stand either way with the parties and the candidates.
