Canada is another country?  

I think McCain may argue that Canada doesn't count as a foreign country because it's right next to the United States.  And they are all just American-wannabes anyway.

Has a political candidate ever contracted a 4-month case of Laryngitis?

I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow the McCain campaign announced the candidate has a nasty case of it, and it going to have to refrain from speaking till end of November.

Of course, no one in the PRESS will mention this inconsistency.  The meme that Barack is presumptuous and arrogant and maybe even a bit of a traitor will take hold and McCain, regardless of his incompetence, will remain in a virtual tie with Obama until election day.

"oh I know CBS (cough bullshitcough), there are just so many, where does the time go??"

Yeah, CBS did a version of what my girlfriend and I call the "three phrase generic Republic excuse for everything":

Mistakes we're made.

We accept full responsability.

Now, let's move on.

I respect and honor McCain's military service and service to country so it really pains me to say this: McCain is a loser. He has totally lost his mind and has lost touch with reality. His statements and actions of late diminish his stature. I question his sanity, his mental state, and his fitness to be president now more than ever. This is very sad because I supported him in 2000 and even worked the primary polls for him in VA.

The worse he looks and acts on the trail, the better he does in the polls.  Go figure.  It's making me sick.

McCain going to a German restaurant while Barack Obama actually goes to Germany reminds me of people who go to casinos in Vegas to "experience" New York or Egypt...

Did anyone notice that on the heels of his oil rig speech being cancelled, after a week of pounding away at offshore drilling, 420,000 gallons of spilled deisel fuel has completely shut down the Mississippi river?  It's going to take days to open the river and weeks to clean it up, according to the folks in charge.  Oh, and it's also threatening water supplies.

Then, uh oh, after a week of pounding Obama as "no we can't" on nuclear power, 100 more French workers are contaminated, stirring up a whole new debate on the safety of nuclear power.

200,000 Germans are waving American flags and cheering Obama while McCain visits a fudge factory, then he forgets Canada is a foreign country.  

you couldn't write stuff this good.  

Linsey Graham was there because he heard they did fudge-packing demonstrations.

Also, McCain campaigned in Mexico with Jeb Bush on July 3rd. Hmmmm I have no idea why he is doing as good as he is. Oh except the mass media ignores most of his mistakes.
