That's also to mock McCain for opposing bill to have the government buy only American-made motorcycles.

"Losing control by the hour"
John McSame may not be losing his bearings, but on key issues he just seems really, really confused:
Confused about what has gone on in the world after the cold war:
"My friends, we have reached a crisis, the first probably serious crisis internationally since the end of the Cold War."
Let's run-down the list. Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, followed by the US expulsion of Iraq from Kuwait. Collapse of Yugoslavia and subsequent wars of aggression between successor states. US invasion of Afghanistan. US invasion of Iraq. There are a slew of other examples of serious international crises over last 16-18 years.
Confused about his own position on drilling for oil in ANWR.
Confused about missing big energy votes.
Confused about if he & his mom sued his first wife after he dumped her.
Confused about whether Jack Abramoff was really so bad:
Just plain old confused.
"Can't you see this is the land of confusion?"

Georgia Fail:
Foreign Leader figures out McCain's word doesn't mean shit:
McCain told a crowd in Pennsylvania Tuesday that he had spoken with the embattled Georgian, telling the president: "Today, we are all Georgians."
Saakashvili's response: "Yesterday, I heard Sen. McCain say, ‘We are all Georgians now.' Well, very nice, you know, very cheering for us to hear that, but OK, it's time to pass from this. From words to deeds."
Even on vacation, the candidates provide such stark contrasts with their unique visions:
Yummy.
