Sounds like a lot of bullshit to me. If you actually listen to the fucking lady you can barely understand her. Likely he only heard spanish and went with what sounded like an issue to ask about: Latin America. He answered her question as well: He is willing to meet with anyone who lives up to American principles.

[ExAm]

QUESTION: Senator, finally, let's talk about Spain. If you're elected president, would you be willing to invite President Jose Luiz Rodriguez Zapatero to the White House to meet with you?

MCCAIN: I would be willing meet, uh, with those leaders who our friends [sic] and want to work with us in a cooperative fashion, and by the way, President Calderon of Mexico is fighting a very very tough fight against the drug cartels. I'm glad we are now working in cooperation with the Mexican government on the Merida plan. I intend to move forward with relations, and invite as many of them as I can, those leaders, to the White House.

lol question dodge

retarded. Unnecessary addition in order to change the subject


QUESTION: Would that invitation be extended to the Zapatero government, to the president itself?

MCCAIN: I don't, you know, honestly I have to look at relations and the situations and the priorities, but I can assure you I will establish closer relations with our friends and I will stand up to those who want to do harm to the United States of America.

wat. that's totally ambiguous, he's avoiding calling Spain either an ally or an enemy! He doesn't fucking know!

QUESTION: So you have to wait and see if he's willing to meet with you, or you'll be able to do it in the White House?

MCCAIN: Well again I don't, all I can tell you is that I have a clear record of working with leaders in the hemisphere that are friends with us, and standing up to those who are not, and that's judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with Latin America, and the entire region.

THIS WAS NOT A PART OF THE QUESTION, STOP DODGING

QUESTION: Okay... what about you, I'm talking about the President of Spain?

MCCAIN: What about me what?

QUESTION: Okay... are you willing to meet with him if you are elected president?

MCCAIN: I am willing to meet with any leader who is dedicated to the same principles and philosophy that we are for human rights, democracy and freedom, and I will stand up to those that do not.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

:XD: you're serious? I heard English, no Spanish other than the Spanish president's name. If you only heard Spanish, you're either senile or have a fucking brain tumor.

Listen to it HERE (http://cdn2.libsyn.com/americablog/mccainspainenglish.mp3?nvb=20080918142706&nva=20080919142706&t=0c49259f9274071bb2c5b)


McCain didn't appear to know that Spain was in Europe, or that the leader of Spain was named Zapatero, even after he was told that Zapatero was the leader of Spain.

When asked about Spain and Zapatero, by a Spanish reporter for a Spanish newspaper, McCain responded about Mexico and Latin America. A reader suggested something that Josh had already considered, that perhaps McCain thought the reporter was talking about the Zapatistas in Mexico, the guerilla group. But that's not possible as the reporter clearly said she was talking about Spain and Spain's leader, Zapatero. She told McCain this twice. Let me tell you exactly what she asked McCain (per the translation):
"Senator, finally, let's talk about Spain. If you're elected president, would you invite President Zapatero to meet with you in the White House?" McCain then gives this odd answer about America's friends and America's enemies. He also, oddly, talks about Mexico (why Mexico? The question was about Spain) and how he'd invite friendly leaders to the White House. She then asks him again, would that invitation include President Zapatero? He says again that he'd have to review relations first, blah blah. She then says again, "so you'd have to wait to see, so would you meet with him in the White House?" He again repeats his weird statement about friends and enemies. McCain also throws in, oddly, to the Spanish reporter, when she's asking him about meeting the Spanish president, a line about the importance of our relationship with Latin America (this is now the second time he answered a question about meeting the president of Spain with an answer about Latin America). She then says to McCain one last time:
"Okay, but I'm talking about Europe - the president of Spain, would you meet with him?"This time, there was no room for confusion. McCain then gives this very bizarre answer:
"I will meet with any leader who has the same principles and philosophy as us in terms of human rights, democracy, and freedom and I will stand up to those who do not."What does concern about human rights, democracy and freedom have to do with a prerequisite for meeting the president of Spain? Especially when you told the same paper 5 months ago (http://www.elpais.com/articulo/internacional/candidato/republicano/compromete/ver/Zapatero/gana/elpepiint/20080918elpepiint_9/Tes) that you'd be happy to meet with him.

McCain had no idea what was going on in the interview. She specifically told him, twice, that she was talking about Spain and the Spanish president. She's a Spanish reporter with one of the largest, if not the largest, newspaper in Spain, El Pais. I know this paper, McCain certainly knows this paper (and it's not like McCain's staff didn't tell him who he had the exclusive interview with for ten minutes). She made it clear she was asking about her own country and her own president and Mccain had no clue what she was talking about.

Either McCain had no idea what the woman was talking about when she said "Spain," and then said "the President of Spain," repeatedly, or McCain intentionally snubbed the country of Spain tonight for no apparent reason, which is very hard to believe, especially given his earlier interview in which he said he was fine meeting Zapatero. The interview is absolutely bizarre, especially in that it sounds like McCain wasn't even lucid, it sounds like he simply doesn't have complete control over his faculties anymore. And judging by the fact that just a few months ago McCain was fine with Zapatero, it sounds like McCain simply wasn't quite all there any more during the interview. He got horribly confused and didn't know what was going on.

This is just incredibly disturbing. And remember, this is hardly the first time in the last year that McCain has become confused about his signature issue, foreign affairs. It's happened a lot in the past year, and it never happened before. There's a pattern here, even if in polite company the media isn't supposed to talk about. McCain is having trouble focusing and understanding what's going on around him. He gets increasingly confused. And that's just scary.

The guy is just a broken record regurgitating whatever his caretakers told him to say.

I already listened to that. In English. You can't understand her. Aside from that, why, again, is shit like this never on mainstream news if it's so true?

Because the MSM is generally in the GOP's pocket, that's why. They can claim that Dems are being covered too much all they want, but it's just not true.

At least they seem to be breaking the mold lately by exposing a few of McCain's lies (and the campaign rep's rebuttals made me lol) but they aren't ripping them a new one like they should be.

[The_Wraith]

Guyz, the GOP controls the media. We're fucked.

Get real.

[itszutak]

Seems to me he missed the "let's talk about Spain" part of her comment and assumed that Zapatero was President of Mexico.

But other than that, he's giving very, VERY generic "weasel" soundbytes to avoid questions he's not actually thought about (IE, the REST OF THE WORLD outside of the u.s.)

If you honestly think the larger media groups are a reliable source of information rather than just a load of shit to tell people what they want to hear in order to get better ratings than the competition, you need mental help.

ESPECIALLY in the US.

e/ Unless you're about to tell me that games cause murder, that is, because hey, they tell us that too.

seriously wraith, what the fuck dude >_>

[Pooky]

Did you guys consider that maybe he's just incredibly ignorant and didn't know the difference between Mexico and Spain?

When I was in high school I met a few colossal idiots who didn't.

[SnaFuBAR]

McCain: not fit for the house of white.

If you don't know the difference between MEXICO and SPAIN, you should not even be a candidate for the presidency.

[ExAm]

Even if he did know where Spain was, if he didn't know whether Spain was an ally, he still shouldn't be a candidate for the presidency.

Aside from that, why, again, is shit like this never on mainstream news if it's so true?

mainstream news...true...

Wait... wait...
No, this post definitely makes no sense.
