Luckily, McCain’s Gaffe Was Only a “Senior Moment”
Posted on March 23rd, 2008 by vicezilla
Fox News Sunday put it all to rest this morning about john McCain’s well publicized gaffes about Iran training al-Qaida in Iraq. We can all stop speculating now, because Fox News’ Brit Hume claims McCain just had a ’senior moment’ is all.
Phew, thank goodness it’s only a ’senior’ thing! Just how sharp exactly will McCain’s pencil point be in 4 years time if he’s showing signs of ’senior moments’ now?

Regardless of the reasons for his gaffe, the point is that McCain isn’t sharp on what’s supposed to be his biggest issue, foreign policy. I mean… What is McCain running on if it isn’t foreign policy? And he doesn’t even know what’s going on in Iran. It’s ridiculous.
