How Senile is McCain?

[conleys ghost]

 (CNN) – For the second time in two days, John McCain has referred to current events in “Czechoslovakia” – a country that officially ceased to exist in January of 1993.

“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,” said the presumptive Republican nominee at a New Mexico town hall Tuesday.

More than fifteen years ago, Czechoslovakia officially split into two nations – the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

On Monday, the Arizona senator made virtually the same statement about recent Russian moves that troubled him, citing that country’s attempt to reduce “the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia.”

Later that evening, McCain’s campaign sent reporters a statement on the issue, which quoted the Arizona senator calling the nation “the Czech Republic” twice.

I seriously doubt Senator McCain is the only person in America who refers to "Czechoslovakia" as if it currently exists.

Why do I care? I'm probably going to vote for Bob Barr.

I was wondering which one he was referring to ... Czech Republic or Slovakia.

I seriously doubt Senator McCain is the only person in America who refers to "Czechoslovakia" as if it currently exists.

I still refer to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, for Pete's sake.

I still refer to Constantinople.  I refuse to use the Islamic name. 

[Vermouth]

Mmmkay, and I still refer to Zimbabwe as Rhodesia.

[Mr. Wit]

You may kid, but you must remember that 98% of Americans are stupid - period.

I'm dumb as Iraq...sorry...dumb as a rock...and even I know “Czechoslovakia” sounds wrong. Still I like the man. Whoever wins this election is going to inherit a GINORMOUS PILE O SHIT. I predict a one-termer.

As do I.  I had a good friend who fought there.

I agree. If McCain wins, he'll be too old to serve a second term. If Obama wins, people will realize the kind of mistake they made. Kind of like when Jimmy Carter got his prissy ass whipped by Reagan in '80.

I may have asked before but I can't remember. Are you of Greek descent? You seem to have a serious interest in the Byzantine period. I won that bone and silver cross I posted earlier. They found it in Bulgaria and date it to the 11 or 12th century.

Mmmkay, and I still refer to Zimbabwe as Rhodesia.

Harrumph..that would be Southern Rhodesia, Vermouth.

Too old? It's the economy, stupid.

Seriously, does no one see the storm brewing?

Oh wow! Really? He must be a bit older than you. Mercenary? My father was in the Belgian Congo and Algeria as the French were leaving.
