It’s pretty amazing that John McCain can get away with demonstrating his total ignorance on the biggest issue of his campaign by calling it a slip of the tongue. I mean, this isn’t something he had said just once and then corrected it. He’s been repeating it over and over again. If that’s a slip of the tongue, then we should be able to attribute basically every dumb remark of this campaign to a slip of the tongue.
I mean, Samantha Power only called Clinton a monster once. But McCain gets away with lumping Iran and Al Qaeda together into some kind of fictional League of Evil Mutants?
