John McCain, gaffe machine?
http://www.thecarpetbaggerreport.com/ archives/ 16283.html
Mike Allen and Jim VandeHei have an interesting item in the Politico today that's generating quite a bit of attention, about John McCain's series of verbal "gaffes." Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said "Iraq" on Monday when he apparently meant "Afghanistan", adding to a string of mixed-up word choices that is giving ammunition to the opposition. Just in the past three weeks, McCain has also mistaken "Somalia" for "Sudan," and even football's Green Bay Packers for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ironically, the errors have been concentrated in what should be his area of expertise: foreign affairs.
