Not a Gaffe? McCain Campaign Willing to Destroy Relationship with
Europe to Conceal Confusion

By Max Bergmann, Huffington Post. Posted September 19, 2008.

Worse than Bush. There can be no doubt about it now.

In McCain's bizarre interview with Spanish Owned Union Radio he
refused to say whether he would meet with Spain's Prime Minister, José
Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. Listening to the interview repeatedly, it
simply seemed that McCain had no idea who Zapatero actually was.

McCain seemed to think he was a Latin American autocrat -- despite the
reporter repeatedly saying "I am talking about Spain." This gaffe
would seem to have very significant implications. Not knowing who the
leader of Spain was or thinking Spain was in Latin America would not
really be shocking coming from his running mate, but McCain has run on
his foreign policy expertise and such confusion completely undercuts
his credibility. Furthermore this gaffe would bring up real questions
about his age. Is McCain really prepared to deal with a crisis at 3AM,
when he can't even remember who the leader of Spain is during a late
evening interview?
