Isn’t the leader of Germany the Prime Minister? I have to wonder what McCain does pay attention to because it isn’t much.
oh noes… too much laffing
Wow! This needs to get around. Everyone needs to see this.
Well, I knew that Putin stepped down as President of Russia, I did not know he got another gig so soon.
Meh. Considering the amount of information a presidential candidate needs to master and the amount of talking they have to do I do not think it matters if you slip up on who the president of Germany is or which concentration camp your relative liberated.
Now if it happens over and over again (Sunni v Shia for example) then it says something but otherwise it matters very little.
When is old too old?
Germany has both Prime Minister and President. The leader of the country is Prime Minister (nowadays Angela Merkel) and the President (Horst Kohler) has purely ceremonial job (we call them wreath setters). And McCain is soo confused (BTW, Putin is new Russian Prime Minister).
Dood is confused.
Everyone knows Willy Brandt is the President of West Germany.
I just watched a youtube classic where the mighty rhetorical giant Obama seemed to have no clue where he was, what he was doing, he went off on a nonsensical rant ostensibly about Iraq.
Here is a clue, THESE GUYS ARE TIRED!
Both of these guys are going to make gaffes, EVERY presidential candidate has made such mistakes, repeatedly. This is one of the first elections where every jackass and their cousin can videotape them and put in on youtube so that a bunch of wannabee’s like us can second guess them.

Hear, hear!!!
Hell, I mix up my kid’s names on occasion. Doesn’t mean I’m not qualified to be the dad.
Russia, Germany, Shiite, Sunni, Putin, Schputin, ehh..
dementia kicking in again, eh?
What a moron.
owww-itch! that’s gonna leave a mark.
if mr mcgoo had mixed up the leaders of indonesia and micronesia i’d let it slide, but these are g8 members and well-known leading world figures and countries he’s alzheiming here …
And we gave Bush a pass on things like that didn’t we?
Look where that got us!
I know who is the President of Germany and that she was a 1 year old baby when I spent the summer there as a teen!
That would be Angela Merkel.
Guess McCain wasn’t paying attention when our est esteemed leader gave her a sneak attack neck massage!
Isn’t the leader of Germany the Prime Minister?
No, the correct title is “Chancellor”
When is old too old?
About 12 years ago.
Squidward, that’s the first sensible thing you’ve said all day.
Gracias, Duros.
I know you likely don’t have control…but that McCain ad with Obama and Ahmedinajad is running at the top of your homepage…
FYI
Old man yells at cloud!
So, not only do you come late to the party, but you undermine my whole “liberal bloggers are so much better than neocon bloggers” schtick: http://www.someofnothing.com/2008/06/john-mccain-putin-germany-nothing-to.html. I hope you’re happy.
I know you likely don’t have control…but that McCain ad with Obama and Ahmedinajad is running at the top of your homepage…
What are you trying to say?
That McCain is wasting his ad money? OH NO!
At least McCain knows how many states there are…
“John McCain: Putin Is The President Of Germany”
Well – at least he didn’t say his grampa helped to liberate Auschwitz, when his gramps in fact helped to liberate Buchenwald. I mean, that kind of mistake was good enough for days of laser-like focus from the supposedly liberal mainstream media. Funny – I haven’t even heard a report on this from the media…
Squirm wingnut ratfuckers. Squirm some more. Good job on the primaries you did.
“Squirm wingnut ratfuckers.”
I generally prefer to have sex with mice, they are cleaner.
Classy fella.

So, where was McCain and whom was he listening to?
I suspect he was listening to a speech by Mikhail Gorbachev in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania.
“At least McCain knows how many states there are…”
Hahah Yeah 48, not including the Alaskan and Hawaiian Territories.
Well since this is recycled from January, I would assume he was tired from weeks on campaigning.
BTW, How many Arabic translators do we need in Pashtun-speaking Afganistan? Hint: Obama thinks it is more than 0.

And I still feel for those 10,000 people killed by that tornado that wiped out that town in the midwest… I hear they were blown all over 57 states.

Jay,
Your a doof.

“BTW, How many Arabic translators do we need in Pashtun-speaking Afganistan? Hint: Obama thinks it is more than 0.”
They have Arabic translators in Afghanistan. Imagine that.
Some *SPEAK* arabic in Afghanistan, as well as farsi and pashto. Particularly considering how many jihadis and people connected to the Taliban were foreigners from arab speaking countries. And some Afghani writing is a mix of persian and arabic. Imagine that, Mr. Information Superhighway. At snark, u fail. Go back to clown college.
“They have Arabic translators in Afghanistan. Imagine that.”
Imagine that indeed, but we do not need any more, there is not a shortage.
“Imagine that, Mr. Information Superhighway. At snark, u fail. Go back to clown college.”
The shortage of translators in Afganistan is for Pashtu and Dari, not Arabic.
We do need more Arabic Translators in Iraq however. Kurdish is less of a problem in many areas.
Also, I do not like clowns. They creep me out. Why would I want to go to school with them?

The Squid.
God help Us another moron for president and is the end of United states, he wants to be a president and he has no clue, does he know what state or country he lives in?? isnt it this early warning of his very poor abilities and to the world proofing that he only cares about special interests only and the american people?? GOD HELP US.
Being a German I don’t think that everyone in the States has to know the name of our head of state. Germany is a small country after all.
However, a presidential candidate should know things like that. At the moment McCain is very – very – unpopular here in Germany. Well, he doesn’t have to care about us. But in return we don’t care about him, let alone support anything he says or does.
Uh, Ellenbrenna: He wants to be the leader of the free world; don’t you think he should do his homework? I’m sure it matters to the leader(s) of Germany if he gets it “right,” and it definitely matters to me! Oh, BTW, it should matter to you! This isn’t a prom invitation, this is your future or lack thereof.

Like McCain says: “Putin is King of the World… right? Aw, s**t, where’s my c**t trollop of a wife anyway?”
