Losing It, Part 1

Quote of the Day:
We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border.
-Republican presidential candidate John McCain, to ABC's Diane Sawyer on Monday morning.

Uhhh...Senator...hmmm...I hate to break this to you, but Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border.

Well, we all misspeak on occasion so we should give you a break...right?

But...

Last week you mentioned Czechoslovakia as if it were a country that still exists, never mind that it ceased to exist in 1992.

And foreign policy is supposed to be the "ace-in-the-hole" of your presidential campaign!?
