A recent CNN blurb seems to have caught another one of John McCain’s senior moments.

“And I regret some of the recent behavior Russia that has exhibited, and I’ll be glad to talk about that later on including reduction in oil supplies to Czechoslovakia after they agreed with us on a missile defense system, etcetera,”

Not surprisingly this quote comes from yet another speech by McCain in which he attempts to convince hapless townsfolk he’s the better candidate on foreign policy. To demonstrate his acumen the 71 year-old refers to Czechoslovakia, the name of a country that ceased to exist in 1993. Not only once, but twice did McCain confuse Czechoslovakia with the current states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The first incident took place on Monday, and was followed by a corrective statement from the campaign, only to be repeated Tuesday at a town hall meeting (excerpt above). Sunni and Shia, Iran and al Qaeda, and now this. If the Senator doesn’t even know these basics how can he be expected to handle the infinitely more complex challenges he would encounter as commander-and-chief?

Warning: Satire

Originally, McCain had wanted to call it Greater Bohemia with Moravia and Czech Silesia, Dominions of her Excellency Empress Maria Theresa of the Hapsburgs, Holy Roman Empress, Queen of Hungary, Bohemia, Croatia and Slavonia, Archduchess of Austria, Duchess of Parma and Piacenza, Grand Duchess of Tuscany. After ranting about the danger posed by the Romanov Muscovites McCain switched to the dangers of encouraging Ottoman forays into the Crimea, the ominous return of this “Napoleon character,” and the potential benefits of encouraging the Dole corporation’s adventure in the Sandwich Islands.
