I live in Wyoming. Now Wyoming doesn't border on another nation, but Montana does, and Wyoming borders on Montana. Therefore I have some expertise in international relations, but admittedly not as much as Montana residents.

You know, the ocean separates Alaska and Russia, and the ocean also separates California, Oregon, and Washington from Russia, China, Japan, Philippines, North Korea, South Korea, Taiwan, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Tonga, Palau, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Kiribati, the Federated States of Micronesia, and Antarctica. Therefore the 47 million residents of those three sates have TONS of experience in international relations and foreign policy.

And think about all the countries that lie across the Atlantic from the East Coast and Gulf Coast residents. Foreign policy experience up the ying yang! Jesus, no wonder America is so well respected in international relations!

Now where is Pakistan?

I wonder if McCain believes his own propaganda

wow, just wow

man... i bet $20 she doesn't know who the president of Russia is.

Oh my god... When I read the headline I thought it was going to be one of those heavily edited videos that mash up words from various speeches to make the candidate say stupid things. I think the point where he grimaces at :36 you can just make out the last of his brains dribbling out his ear.

Absurd.
So mccain is either:
1. Consciously lying in order to cover up the fact that he knows she is lacking any kind of needed experience to be vp.
2. He actually believes what hes saying here.
If it is #1 hes already demonstrating that hes willing to lie to the american people to a ridiculous level. It also means he is consciously giving a grossly under qualified person an immense amount of power to the detriment of the american people.
If its #2 he is grossly incompetent in regards to finding qualified people to help run this country to the detriment of the american people.

Just when you thought it couldn't get more absurd.

It's #1.

I doubt McCain has said a thing he believes since last July.

I agree. Sad.

This video makes me want to find my keys, get in my car, drive to a late-night coffee shop, buy a cup of coffee, bring it home, sit back down, take a sip, press play, then spit all over my monitor as I again hear McCain claim that Palin is America's foremost energy expert.

When I got to know Bush got elected for his second term, I kinda laughed it off, "Ha ha, that's so dumb." (not American so I thought it didn't affect me that much - yeah, I know better now).

Now though I have the feeling that if McCain really is elected, I'll start weeping for the future of the world. It's almost like the McCain/Palin ticket is THE worst choice - even another 4 years of Bush might be better than this, because Bush at least doesn't want a Cold War with Russia, whereas this fella (with his good friend Lieberman) already tried to pass a Congress resolution excluding Russia from G8 back in 2003, which is a one-way ticket to Cold War 2.0. So yeah, fellow American citizens of the world, your decision affects me and others a great deal - please, please don't let your compatriots fuck this one up again.

There must be an international training facility for politicians somewhere, you can't develop the needed state of mind just out of thin air. Maybe some Frankenstein'ian brain rearrangement is involved as well.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

If these clowns get in I'm starting an underground railroad to Australia for my Sift mates.

Idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary.

Also, Charles Krauthammer is a douche.

Gee, since Chicago is the nation's largest transportation hub, I guess that means I must be one of the most informed people when it comes to planes, trains, and automobiles. And by extension, acting too, since that was also the name of a movie. Where to I apply for the cabinet position?

Hey! I know someone who is Russian - that makes me nearly as qualified as Palin!

This is amazing, I just say an old man talk crap - this from the guy who bitched about Obamas lack of Experience!

Well, I lived in Maine, which is right next to Canada and on the east coast. So I'm an expert in Relations with Canada, England Ireland, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, Greenland, Finland, Italy, Greece, Bosnia, Croatia, Haiti, Cuba, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and OH, what do you know? Russia is on the Atlantic too, so count that one in there. Then add Morocco, Mauritania, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra-Leone, Liberia, Cameroon, Togo, Benin, Ghana, Guyana, Suriname, Guyane, Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and Belize.

And that's just the Northern Atlantic.

Well, and Of course I was in Japan, Korea, Iraq and Kuwait, so add those and all surrounding countries.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to use my new-found skills to disssolve the DMZ and instill peace in the Koreas, Stop the mini wars in Africa, get the Columbian government to stop all drug trafficking into the U.S., convince Israel to calm down, get the Kurds, Sunnis and shiites to stop fighting and work together, Convince Iraq, Saudia Arabia and Kuwait to give half their oil to the U.S. for free, and Iran to stop all the "naughty business" with nuclear research.

You would think after all that, and with all my foreign relations skills I could convince MINK to stop being a douche. Well, I'm not God, you know.

It'll be a busy day.

@MG: you ignorant US pig, you overlooked the Western Sahara, Cape Verde, the Canary Islands, the Azores, the Falklands, the Faroe and St. Helena .

energy.

*promote the fucking bald-faced lies.

Oh, Wyoming is the largest coal-producing state in the country. Therefore I am knowledgeable about energy. If any Republican party officials are reading this, I'm available in 2012.

Haven't you noticed that she's Putin in drag: hunting, fishing, looking good, firing people for personal reasons, knows all about energy, is all about an economy benefiting the happy few, anti-gay, do not like bears either. A wig and spectacles is all he needs to pop over to the neighbouring country pretending to be her.

Your slogan: "Australia may have the most venomous snakes in the world, but at least it doesn't vote them into office."

What is more scary than McCains idiocy?

The fact that there are hordes of mindless supporters ready and willing to vote such a moron into office.

And I said Moron. Not Mormon.

I wouldn't be surprised one bit if he wins the presidency.

He believes his own bullshit - another trait he shares with George W.

This shit is out of hand.

In a state right next to Russia? O, you mean across the Pacific Ocean? Or is he remembering back in his youth when there was a land bridge connecting the two continents.

Hawaii's governor knows all about China and North Korea then.
Maine's governor is the chief economic advisor for European eceonmics.
Florida is the closest state to the middle east. What an idiot.

Keep repeating those talking points McInsane

"We need to stop sending $700B to countries that don't like us very much"

WTF?? Are you insane, we went to Iraq as a favor to Bush's Saudi buddies. We get oil from Iraq and Saudis who rip us off.

Oh wait, we pissed of Venezuela who could literally solve our energy problems if Bush was such a big asshole to Venezuela. (Oh and trying to organize a coup never helps).

What about the hundred of billions we have given to Iraqis (who don't like us very much) and it all went missing. At least the Saudi's give us oil in return, oh and also plane hijackers, and they cleaned up the NYC skyline for us. Thanks Saudis. Thanks Bush's buddies. Thanks Bandar Bush, Papa Bush, and all the bin Ladens.

Just when I think my respect for McCain has reached rock bottom.....

I bet his poll numbers go up after this...

Joseph Goebbels ("Aus Churchills Lügenfabrik" published in Die Zeit ohne Beispiel, 1941)

Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.

His primary rules were: never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.

.... or steals it like the previous neocon candidate did.

I mean.. after all have you noticed the "polls" are remaining at that same level range that allows for many elections to easily be rigged by switching the votes.( http://www.videosift.com/video/The-architect-of-the-Sarasota-FL-13-stolen-election )

McCain tried desperately to dodge this question, great interview.

My town is THE crepe mertyl capital of North Central Texas. I also have very productive pecan tress in my back yard. McCain should appointment to the department of agricultural. the landscapes would be lovely, our pies delicious.

Not sure if I'm a mate, but I might take you up on that offer.

???? Are you sure you're not smoking those "pecans"?

Anyone else notice he whistles when he talks?
Like the old man in Family Guy?

Still!? Has no one told him that point doesn't work? Why is he still saying it! OMG!

John McFeign!

So when did the word energy replace the work oil? And since when is Alaska the only state that produces oil? 50% of the electricity in the grid comes from coal. And West Virginia is one of the biggest producers of coal in the United States. So by his reasoning, the governor of West Virginia, Joe Manchin, who went to WVU (a state college) and finished with a degree in Information Management; he's an expert on energy?

Wow... I guess politicians (mostly Republicans) take no stock in actual argumentative psychology. Maybe they could actually form a valid argument once in a while.

"Russia's aggressive behaviour in the world"????

Jesus Christ, this is the most orwellian shit i have seen coming out of mccain's pathetic mouth.
