Spain.... You know, over there by France and Portugal.....?
Embarrassing
Well, we've heard the interview now. And John McCain either doesn't know who the Prime Minister of Spain is, thinks Spain is a country in Latin America, or possibly both.
In case, you haven't seen our updates from last night, yesterday John McCain was interviewed on the Florida affiliate of Spanish radio network Union Radio. And in the interview McCain appeared not to know who the Prime Minister of Spain was and assumed he was some anti-American leftist leader from South America.
After the interviewer presses him a couple times on the point and tries to focus him on the fact that Prime Minister Zapatero isn't from Mexico and isn't a drug lord either McCain comes back at her saying, "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."
Then there's a moment of awkward pause before she says. "But what about Europe? I'm talking about the President of Spain."
McCain: "What about me, what?
Interviewer: "Are you willing to meet with him if you're elected president?"
McCain: "I am wiling to meet with any leader who is dedicated to the same principles and philosophy that we are for humans rights, democracy and freedom. And I will stand up to those who do not."
At this point, the interviewer gets tongue-tied presumably because she can't get over McCain not knowing what Spain is.

After 7 years of a very chilly relationship with Spain, this was one he really couldn't afford to blow..... but he did. He should know who Zapatero is off the top of his head. Hell.... I know who Zapatero is and I'm just a stinky old retired fire dude.....

apparently he did know (at least that's what his campaign is saying) and still refuses to commit to a meeting with Spain's Prime Minister:
"No, the questioner asked several times about Senator McCain's willingness to meet Zapatero, and ID'd him in the question so there is no doubt Senator McCain knew exactly to whom the question referred," said McCain foreign policy adviser Randy Schuenemann in an email. "Senator McCain refused to commit to a White House meeting with President Zapatero in this interview."
damn, lost the link - it's on Politico.com right now.

I don't understand why McCain would be so cold regarding a NATO member who is a Western Democratic government. Seems like if Georgia qualifies for McCain's favor then Spain would even more.
This could be funnier than the Dubya regime was if McCain keeps up the "senior moments", plus we could have a vice president that thinks the Earth is 6,000 yrs old and wants to outlaw abortion no matter what the case.
We will have the "leaders" we deserve.
The dumbing down of America will be almost complete.
