John McCain embarassed himself once again, another gaffe, blurting the truth.
During today's town hall meeting, he siad he wants our offshore reserves "exploited". That's right, not explored, "EXPLOITED". As the audience began laughing, McCain quickly corrected.
"I'll do everything in my power to get those offshore reserves exploited ... um, er, explored, discovered and um..." McCain said, drawing some knowing chuckles from the largely Republican audience.
He had to stop and collect his thoughts. Already he had been answering a woman's question about lowering gas prices for nearly two minutes -- squeezing in a joke about France in the process -- and he seemed flustered.
There is a video as well.

Oh, forgot to add, today town hall was held in WI, many thousand miles away from any shore...
