McCain Hearing Things?

Or just lying? He claims people at Obama rallies have yelled "kill him" and "terrorist" towards McCain. There's no evidence to support this, of course, as the worst Obama rally goers shout towards McCain is "BOOOOOOO". Jed Lewison posted this video of McCain's claim, calling it "Another bizarre lie."

"My Fellow Prisoners"



McCain is really losing it. Someone in my clay class today suggested that when McCain called Obama "That one" last night, it was because he forgot his name.

McCain Confused. Again.


HuffPo: McCain Confuses SEC with FEC

Federal Elections Commission, Securities & Exchange Commission, tomato, tomahto, let's call the whole thing off.

At least he didn't call the SEC the ACC. Then he would have mentioned that Palin was a point guard in high school. Again.

Dementia, fumblemouth, whatever it is it's not what we want from the President.

McCain is Losing It

The evidence from yesterday:

This video of him babbling. No coincidence, this was at an evening event -- past his bedtime.



Next, McCain was interviewed by a Spanish radio station in Miami -- the interview was conducted in English, btw -- and didn't seem to know that Spain was located in Europe, or that José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero is the Prime Minister of Spain (full disclosure, I didn't know that either, but I'm not running for President, and I wasn't being interviewed by a Spanish-language radio station! He might have wanted to bone up a little on the issues.) This is being reported as a huge gaffe in the Spanish press.

That's Mr. Foreign Policy Experience John McCain. His foreign policy seems to be about an inch thick, as deep as the foreign policy experience of his stay-at-home running mate. She can see Russia from her house, that's her foreign policy experience. As this diarist on dailykos put it, McCain's experience seems to be "I can see Spain from my house in Arizona!"

Read This

Library of Congress

Excellent article in the Chicago Tribune by Melissa Isaacson about the heartbreak of caring for her parents through their years of decline, and eventual deaths, from Alzheimer's disease.

Chicago Tribune: 'Something's not right with Mom . . . and now, Dad.'
Watching one parent die by inches is painful enough. When Alzheimer's takes both, your pain is more than the sum of the parts.
