McCain Confuses Somalia And Sudan

Think Progress:

John McCain misspoke and confused his African countries while talking to reporters on the Straight Talk Express today. This time, he was bailed out not by Joe Lieberman, but by his close aide Mark Salter. "How can we bring pressure on the government of Somalia?" McCain asked, which prompted Mark Salter to correct him. "Sudan," Salter said. "Sudan," McCain repeated. "There's a realpolitik side of my view of the conduct of American foreign policy."

And MSM calls him teflon John..... I do think we need the game "Where in the World is John McCain". If we go by his map we might never find home.

He is also apparently confusing the White House with the Capitol Building, because he ain't ever getting there.

HE CONFUSES HIS LIFE FOR THAT OF A HERO? SO WHY NOT CONFUSE ONE PLACE FOR THE NEXT?

IF ELECTED HE MIGHT ACTUALLY CONFUSED NEW YORK FOR IRAN AND ORDER IT'S BOMBING

Of course the MSMf will never mention this, McSame gets a pass on everything. I've never seen someone get off so easy in my life. Obama and Clinton were both grilled during the Primary and now it's like the media has gone on snooze control when it comes to McSame. What is their problem, maybe he drugged their barbaque.

I guess it will take another saturday night live skit to bring them out.....It­s funny how McCain can call Obama young and naive but when Obama say he is losing his bearings or he is confused they make a HUGE deal about it, and say Obama is calling him OLD....Wel­l he is OLD, He is confused and yes he is losing his bearings..­.

does usd500 mean anything to you?

[Speakchic]

Because after all they're all the same. With so much Foreign policy experience I guess you can't help but get somethings mixed up from time to time right?

Give him a break. It was late in the day when he gets confused and anyway he wanted to watch Matlock.

[Chas53]

Late in the day; we call that "sundowning". It's real common among GOMERS. (If you don't know what a GOMER is, well just "Google" it.

OMG - Huff Post - When are you going to do a list - an on-going tally of the "misspeaks" and "flip-flops" with some dates? Someone should be keeping a list!

He should us "the google" and get a McClue.

[BabsfromKS]

thinks "google" means looking at hot chicks

[UCFJayBird]

Seriously, why are these gaffes not used more frequently against McCain? The guy constantly confuses one thing with another. That's gonna be great when he's giving that order to push the red button.

"Bomb....N­ew Zealand.

...no WAIT! I mean Iran!"

it's too late sir.

"oh well. Bomb Iran too."
