The Rain in Spain Falls Mainly on John McCain
That rain, of course, is the fallout from recent remarks in which McCain seemed to suggest one of two things: either he has no idea where Spain is, or he knows exactly where Spain is, and he thinks it might be a rogue terrorist state…
During an interview in Miami earlier this week with Spanish-language station Union Radio, a reporter asked McCain whether, if elected, he would receive [friendly, non-terrorist, Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez] Zapatero in the White House.
McCain answered, "Honestly, I have to analyze our relationships, situations, and priorities, but I can assure you that I will establish closer relationships with our friends, and I will stand up to those who want to harm the United States."
Now, hold your horses, there's more to this than meets the eye. The question about Spain came after a series of questions about Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba, which are also countries known for their delicious, spicy foods.
As a result, much of the Spanish press has decided that the Republican candidate, who hails himself as the experienced foreign policy choice in this election, confused Spain — a NATO member and key ally in the fight against terrorism — with one of those troublesome Latin American states. That was certainly the interviewer's impression, for she followed up with a gentle reminder that Spain was a country in Europe.
Well, maybe to YOU it is. But John McCain is the original maverick.
And mavericks don't play by the maps.

Ram it. Ram it. Ram it. You know the rest.
I don't get how anyone can be confused about Spain. Has there been even a day in the last ten years where they have been considered an enemy to the US?

I love Frank Zappa.
Honestly, we need to kick McCain's ass for his completely uninformed, mucous-forming self.
The pun in the title is my favorite pun of all time ever. That is all.
I'm guessing McCain either confused Zapatero with the Zapatistas movement in Chiapas or Frank Zappa.
Mary,
First you are sexists to say this about Palin's running mate. She can see Russia from her state so you can be sure she chose a running mate who is very experienced in foreign affairs like her. You can bet your bottom moose killing rifle bullet he knows what he is talking about.
Secondly mavericks see things differently that the rest of us. They are ahead of the curve. John McCain has finally tore the mask off the vast left wing conspiracy to make Spain part of Europe and not part of South American like it belongs.
I means since when has Spanish been a European language? That's like saying English is a European language. If it is European then why are Americans speaking it?
Let's see if this story gets picked up in the So Called Unbiased Media (SCUM)…waiting…waiting…awww screw it!
