With McCain the Iraq-Pakistan border thing doesn't really bother me. Nor does the 57 states thing. I don't really think that McCain believed there is such a border or that he wasn't aware of the splitting of Czechoslovakia than I think Obama isn't aware of how many states we have.
When you speak in public for several hours a day all kinds of stupid things are going to fall out of your mouth.
I'm a little more put out by McCain's misstatement of timelines around the surge simply because he was using the correctness of the misstatement (if that is what it was) as a building block of a case.
