"What about me what?"

I'm exhausted. I've been studying very hard for next week's debate. Although, I haven't heard yet where I'm supposed to go or whether my rider has been approved (two cases of caffeine free diet coke; french fries w/ketchup; one pint of Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie ice cream).

Unlike my opponents, I don't have a slew of experts briefing me on the intricacies of foreign policy and economic reform. All I have is Google and Wikipedia. Too bad John McCain doesn't use the internet (did you know he was a POW?) because he could have quickly learned two things:
  1. Spain is in Europe.
  2. The president can't fire the head of the SEC.

You'd think that, knowing he was going to be interviewed by Spanish media, he'd be prepared. I especially like this little exchange:

INTERVIEWER: OK, what about Europe? I'm talking about the president of Spain.
McCAIN: What about me what?

I'll end with this little ditty: McCain on Spain sounds plainly insane.
