John McCain thinks Spain is a rogue state in South America

Its very impressive how a simple back and for conversation , is spinned around a interviewer sideup, is very clear the confusion is created to later make his own conclusions. Like a talk show host has remarkable habilities, but like journalist is professional despicable.

Here is the transcript of the radio interview:

QUESTION: Senator, finally, let's talk about Spain. If you're elected president, would you be willing to invite President Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero to the White House to meet with you?

MCCAIN: I would be willing meet, uh, with those leaders who our friends [sic] and want to work with us in a cooperative fashion, and by the way, President Calderon of Mexico is fighting a very very tough fight against the drug cartels. I'm glad we are now working in cooperation with the Mexican government on the Merida plan. I intend to move forward with relations, and invite as many of them as I can, those leaders, to the White House.

QUESTION: Would that invitation be extended to the Zapatero government, to the president itself?

MCCAIN: I don't, you know, honestly I have to look at relations and the situations and the priorities, but I can assure you I will establish closer relations with our friends and I will stand up to those who want to do harm to the United States of America.

QUESTION: So you have to wait and see if he's willing to meet with you, or you'll be able to do it in the White House?

MCCAIN: Well again I don't, all I can tell you is that I have a clear record of working with leaders in the hemisphere that are friends with us, and standing up to those who are not, and that's judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with Latin America, and the entire region.

QUESTION: Okay... what about you, I'm talking about the President of Spain?

MCCAIN: What about me what?

QUESTION: Okay... are you willing to meet with him if you are elected president?

MCCAIN: I am willing to meet with any leader who is dedicated to the same principles and philosophy that we are for human rights, democracy and freedom, and I will stand up to those that do not.

This just gets worse and worse. First the clueless and un-worldly Caribou Barbie, and now McBush.

Hey McCain, I've been to Spain at least eight times....how many times have you been there? Spain is in Europe, not South America!

The problem with America, and the majority of Americans, is that they are not well-traveled, and have no clue about other countries. They tend to believe only what they read with the biased media.

Folks, it's time to get a passport and you'll realize that the USA is not the only country on this earth! (But now that the economy has tanked, maybe now is not a good time.)

Can you please fix all your typos? This is the LA Times? Your errors make it look like a rant on AOL.

And I thought Palin who claims she can see Russia from Alaska (it is Russian Siberia, far removed from Moscow and most of Russia's citizens and life) was clueless! He has been in the Senate how long?

This is absurd. Senator McCain never said that Spain was in Latin America. You have to really twist what was said to make it look that way, but because you're a bunch of liberal morons, that is exactly what you're trying to do.

The MSM is just trying to create a gaffe because they're afraid the Republicans are going to win the election. We all know that the MSM is largely Democrat. Why not get a real job.

Look, all politicians make gaffes -- however, I somehow think Barack Obama would not confuse the two. Not so long ago, John McCain would have made a fine president. But his time has passed. He does not deserve to be elected.

Republcans will, of course, have an answer to defend this type of conversation. This is high school talk, trying to pass an exam without the knowledge of the test. Who cares.. if a Republican or Democrat said this conversation... it smacks of not knowing the issue. The answer is not at all specific. Sadly, McBush and Barbie will probably win because of all of the reasons they shouldn't...PTA Mom, ideal mother (who's spouse and she are all over America and NOT at home with the children). An ideal family is one who lives together, not having a nanny care for the kids while Mom and Dad try to get elected (yes, he is with her, not with the special needs child). Oh, well, we will all get what we deserve with all of this nonsense. Back to basics, everyone, so America can become a world force and one that is respected.

Even if this story is true, how many states did Obama recently say make up our country? Was it "57"? Forget about international affairs, would you trust a person who said this with domestic issues? :) Everybody mispeaks, but this is not a mispeech/typo: Sarah Palin is more qualified to be president than Obama!

HI American people:
