McCain meets the press
[Quote:]
From the pool report on Senator McCain’s stop and remarks in Phoenix today, by Adam Aigner-Treworgy of NBC News & National Journal Group:
“John McCain arrived at the Eggery in Central Phoenix with his wife Cindy at around 9 a.m. Decked out in French Country decor, the Eggery is a fairly typical breakfast/lunch restaurant with pitchers of coffee waiting at the table and porcelain animals lining the walls.
“He walked in, greeted some patrons at the bar and in a booth near the entrance and than walked into a back room at the restaurant. He shook some more hands and then sat at a table in the middle of the room with six other guests already awaiting him. One man who McCain greeted was part of group sitting along the back wall, who identified themselves as part of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. McCain said it was a wonderful organization.”
[..]
“I was concerned about a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several days. One was reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia. Apparently that is in reaction to the Czech’s agreement with us concerning missile defense, and again some of the Russian now announcement they are now retargeting new targets, something they abandoned at the end of the Cold War, is also a concern. So we see the tensions between Russia and their neighbors, as well as Russia and the United States are somewhat increasing. We need to try to do everything we can to lessen those tensions including the tensions between Russia and the country of Georgia.” …
One small problem: Czechoslovakia is a country that hasn’t existed for the past 15 and a half years.
And none of the journalists noticed it, or bothered to ask for a clarification… great work, guys!
And this isn’t the first time either!

I think the Slovaks loved that remark. Bundled up again with someone else. ouch…
But hey, who cares, it’s a wossname on that, how do you call it, Europe or something. Not as if it was important or something.
I think the allies always appreciate when you can’t remember even their names.
