This is the kind of mental mix-up that really makes you wonder what is truly going on inside of John McCain's mind. Here he is, campaigning in Pennsylvania, accidentally calling Americans "my fellow prisoners."

McCain was talking about his domestic policies, and clearly meant to say "Americans" or "countrymen" or somesuch.

HuffPo's Sam Stein has more.

Digg!
