John McCain, yesterday:
Remembering Czechoslovakia
A reader notes that John McCain today expressed concern about Russia's "reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia."
Which hasn't existed for nearly two decades.
Ok, he's made slips in the past, but no biggie, right? He would never make this mistake twice, would he?
Wrong.
John McCain today:
Jeste jednou Czechoslovakia
Yesterday, McCain's campaign sent out a statement pointedly referring to the "Czech Republic," cleaning up his latest reference to the defunct state of Czechoslovakia.
So there must have been some palms hitting foreheads in Arlington when, just now in New Mexico, he said it again.
Once a minor gaffe (unless it's Barack Obama, in which case cable news plays it endlessly).
But twice? In two days?
Don't hold your breath for the media to hold their favorite son accountable...
