Rich old man McCain forgets how many homes he lives in

Where do I live? What kind of question is that? I don’t know.

Maybe seven, maybe more. Here is a complicated attempt to answer.

McCain: Georgia conflict is the "first serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War."

August 16th, 2008

He forgot,

  • 2 August 1990: Iraq invades Kuwait
  • 1 October 1990: Rwanda civil war/genocide
  • 1991: Croats declare independence from Yugoslavia
  • 5 January 1991: Georgia invades South Ossetia, Russia intervenes. Not too different from the war of which McCain speaks
  • 27 June 1991: Slovenians declare independence from Yugoslavia
  • 27 June 1991: Bosnian War – resulting from the dissolution of Yugoslavia
  • 11 December 1994: First Chechen War: Russia invades Chechnya
  • 7 October 2001: US and NATO invade Afghanistan
  • 20 March 2003: US and ad-hoc coalition invade Iraq
  • 14 August 2006: 2006 Lebanon War: Mainly between Hezbollah and Israel

For someone who loves war, the only explanation for forgetting these dozens of wars that sparked international crises is senility.

UPDATE: Atrios comments, “I suppose this is a pretty good strategy for pretending the last 8 years didn’t happen.”

Old man finds himself caught up as Republican candidate for president

August 1st, 2008

“Maverick” McCain decided to run a positive campaign.

But he approved the, uh, Paris/Britney ad. Read the link, you’ll get it.

His advisers told him to say Obama was the one playing the race card, which he does unconvincingly well.

Poor old guy. Why can’t his advisers leave him alone?

McCain’s senility is contageous among his campaign staffers; sometimes senility makes for issuing lame attacks

McCain forgets his campaign was subject six months ago to the same rules as Obama’s.

McCain forgets we invaded Afghanistan

Nurse, nurse!

McCain is mixed up about the surge he takes credit for

Poor old man.

John Ashcroft openly relies on his own senility.
