The time has come to fear a McCain presidency. Hillary Clinton is doing everything she can to make Barack Obama unelectable, clearing the way for the time worn Senator from Arizona to march into the White House. But over the past few weeks McCain has shown himself to be either a confused old man or a lying sack of shit. Either way, it’s bad news.

Some of the old man’s mistakes have been harmless. For instance, a couple of weeks ago in Israel, he made this blunder while touring the city of Sderot with Israel Defense Minister Ehud Barack.

Uh. Purim commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia were saved from execution. So, not at all close. Thank God there was a Jewish guy there to save McCain’s babbling ass.

And fail. Joe wants us to believe that he lied to McCain about the holiday. Bullshit. McCain is a crazy old fuck who blurts shit out. This Purim mistake would be no big deal if it weren’t a pattern of an old man fucking up, over and over and over. His best old man or blatant liar moments had to do with Iran and al Qaeda on a recent Middle East trip.

First, in February, he burted out this gem.

Right. Hey, really old man who wants to be president, Iraq is the birthplace of the Shiite religion. Shiites make up the majority of people in Iraq. Shiites and Sunnis hate each other. Al Qaeda are Sunnis. See how your idiotic statement doesn’t work?

But gramps wasn’t done there. A few days later, he blurted out this lie or old man brain misstatement.

Well, not so much. Actually, not at all. See, Iran is controlled by a Shiite government. The Shiites would not fund a Sunni group, like al Qaeda. They are actually enemies. Sorry. You’re either losing your mind or a dirty fucking liar.

Oh, and the “undeniable security gains” turned into a big pile of steaming shit last week. Now, totally deniable security gains.

But John Boy wasn’t done being old or lying just yet. A week later...

Now this moment makes me think gramps wasn’t lying. If it was a lie, Lieberman would have let it go. He didn’t. Gramps doesn’t know who is who, because he is old and losing his mind.

Really, gramps? Did you take a drive to the Syrian border and stop in Mosul for lunch? Then turn around and head on down to Sunni Ramadi? Maybe take sunset stroll through the city and talk to the peeps? After that, did you grab a Vespa and putter on down to Najaf to see the Shiites? They love us there! But, you know that because you were “on the ground.” I’m sure you then took a nice drive down to Basra to see the oil rich countryside, right? And then, I assume, you hopped on a boat and enjoyed a nice ride up the Tigris to Baghdad? And then your threw on your old fighter plane jacket and strolled the streets of Sadr City, meeting and shaking hands with the good folks? No? Oh, then you don’t know shit. You were a well-protected, isolated asshole who saw what they wanted you to see. That’s why one week after your “we’re succeeding” declaration everything went to shit.

His clueless bullshit has continued and continued. After the recent flare up in Iraq, that left the government of Maliki greatly weakened, McCain continued to spew nonsense.



What a stupid old man. The history of cease-fires is meaningless because we know the truth of this specific instance. Sadr was clearly the victor. The Maliki government went crawling on its knees to Iran, begging them to get Sadr to stop.

McCain is a fool. He has a profound lack of understanding of the region and its people. His multiple claims over a period of a month that Iran is training al Qaeda is disturbing. It’s like claiming that Republicans are funding and training Democratic candidates. It’s moronic. And this wasn’t a momentary slip, like his campaign would have us believe. He said it over and over and over. Five years into this disaster of a war and McCain doesn’t know the simplest – and most important facts.

This video from yesterday sums it up.
