John McCain, earlier today, once again defending Czechoslovakia.  I’m linking to the Wikipedia article on Czechoslovakia because some of the younger readers might not have been born when Czechoslovakia ceased to exist in 1992.  Now, we already know McCain wants to drill in ANWR for the “psychological impact” it would have.  I think I can connect the dots.  He can send all the nonexistant benefits from his increased drilling and irresponsible gas tax holiday to all our nonexistant allies.  Then they will elect him the Prettiest Princess in Imaginary Land!

Steve Benen comments:

“But the raison d’etre of John McCain’s entire presidential campaign is the notion that he’s an expert on foreign policy, thanks to his decades of experience as a Washington insider. When the foreign policy expert keeps referencing a non-existent country, it’s not unreasonable to mention that maybe his expertise isn’t quite as impressive as his campaign and the political media establishment would like us to believe.”

Steve also states, “McCain has actually been to the Czech Republic and Slovakia since they became independent countries, and he’s met with their leaders.”
