McSpain

This whole thing with McCain not knowing who the leader of Spain was (and possibly not knowing where Spain was) is remarkable and actually somewhat frightening. Listen to the interview -- the stuff about the Spanish PM comes up towards the end.

Eventually we'll get the entirely English language audio, but it already seems pretty obvious that (a) McCain was drawing a complete blank on Spain; and (b) he sounds horrible -- tired, worn out, and just not up to the physical challenge of finishing the campaign, let alone being president. Maybe they should stop giving him Ambien before they put him out for these interviews?
