McSpain In The Membrane

I don't understand why there's any debate about what happened to John McCain during the "Zapatero" interview. It seems obvious that he just got totally lost and decided to compensate for that fact by winging it. Why else would he have reacted with such irritation towards the end of the interview when the interviewer basically told him that he'd been winging it wrong?

It reminds me of this moment a McCain press conference in early August. (By the way, McCain has had only one other press conference since this episode.)
