Old and In The Way: McCain fails political geography, again

Only a week after incorrectly referring to the Czech Republic as Czechoslovakia, Senator John McCain continued to demonstrate his senility this morning in a televised interview on ABCs Good Morning America.



Unfortunately for Mr. McCain, Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border.

For what it's worth, the Senator's archaic understanding of international politics (let alone political geography) is surely an upgrade from President Bush's utter incompetence. But then again, so are many seventh graders.

Meanwhile, Senator Obama will speak in Berlin, Germany this Thursday, and I hear oddsmakers are already drawing lines for whether McCain mentions "Austria-Hungary" or "Prussia."
