Bush Joins In: Says Economic Woes Are All in Our Heads

McCain on War in Iraq: "We're Succeeding, I Don't Care What Anybody Says"

GOP: Only Our Pastors Can Say Crazy Sh*t

St. McCain is quickly becoming the Lauren Caitlin Upton of the GOP with yet still another Iraq gaffe:

In an interview with CNN earlier today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) claimed that he has long understood the influence of Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr:

I said he was still major player and his influence is going to have to be reduced and gradually eliminated.

But in a report on The Situation Room today, the network noted that just two weeks ago McCain -- trying to paint a rosy picture of Iraq -- described Sadr very differently while speaking to CNN's John King in Baghdad:

His [Sadr's] influence has been on the wane for a long time.

Yikes.

Meanwhile, Joe Lieberman, pimping his BFF on Fixed News, seems to be equally confused.

If we did what Sen. Obama wanted us to do last year, Al-Qaeda in Iran would be in control of Iraq today.

Apparently, St. McCain's cluelessness is contagious. It's only a matter of time before he starts putting a "the" before "Iran." I mean, Iraq.

Whatever.

Any man who can achieve the almost unthinkable status of appearing even dumber and more out of touch than George W. Bush has something otherworldly about him.

The ultra-Right, quasi-Fascist Republican lunatics who own and control the Military-Industrial-Compliant Media Complex will see to McBush's behaving himself as they see fit, just as has been the case with the Puppet Bush for the last painful seven years, so that a victory for McBush means more of the same for another four years.
