I don't want to slam him because he can't speak (there is no established relationship between erudition and intelligence), but the facts are these: McCain's been unable to distinguish between Iran and al Quaeda and between Suniis and Shia. And they weren't just slip ups. The issues are too big not to have clear in your mind. To anyone remotely informed on the issue, that's like accidentaly calling Wasila, New York City. Is it too much to ask of a presidential candidate?
