I'm sitting here just shaking my head. My gosh, the man is incompetent. Or senile. Or both.

From TPM with the original untranslated English version of McCain.

I gotta tell you, it makes McCain's statement attempting to smack Obama sound pretty, um, HILARIOUS!!! McCain says something like "Obama's Never Been South of the Border". Well, McCain clearly hasn't looked at a MAP! bwahahahahah. As TPM says.

At first it sounds like McCain is taking a hard neocon line against Prime Minister Zapatero, but as the interviewer continues to press the point, it becomes pretty obvious that McCain has no idea who she's talking about.

His broad, generic answer is clearly meant to cover Latin American leaders generally, known and unknown -- sort of a blanket "we'll stand up to tinpot dictators" -- even if they happen to be NATO prime ministers.

Andrew Sullivan- John McCain doesn't know who the prime minister of Spain is and thinks he's some anti-American leftist in South America. Now imagine if Obama made that kind of gaffe.

I guess McCain thinks all those spanish-talking countries are all alike. heh.

Heh. Here's PM Zapatero's comment on McCain's cluelessness.
