Dumb Won't Do It, Part II

Wow, a perfect video example of McCain's idiocy on foreign policy.



Here's a bit of background from the reporter who asked the question, Joe Klein at Time:

At a press conference here, I just asked John McCain about why he keeps talking about Obama's alleged willingness to talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has no power over Iranian foreign policy, rather than Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who does. He said that Ahmadinejad is the guy who represents Iran in international forums like the United Nations, which is a fair point. When I followed with the observation that the Supreme Leader is, uh, the Supreme Leader, McCain responded that the "average American" thinks Ahmadinejad is the boss. Didn't get a chance to follow up to that, but I would have asked, "But isn't it your job to correct those sorts of mistaken impressions on the part of the American public?" Oh well.

You can always tell McCain is either lying, or pissed off, or both when he starts doing his creepy laugh.
