Donde Esta El Zapatero?*

If you haven't seen the interview of McCain showing a complete lack of knowledge about the Prime Minister of Spain, watch now. It's frightening.

The whole thing reminds me of Mr. Burns in the episode Deep Space Homer. Mr. Burns begins the worker of the month (or week?) announcement thusly:

"Compadres, it is imperative that we crush the Freedom Fighters before the start of the rainy season. And remember, a shiny new donkey to whoever brings me the head of Colonel Montoya. Huh? Wha? Oh by that I mean to announce the worker of the month." (Or something to that effect).

Of course, an old, senile, evil, wealthy, corporate baron who runs for political office to further his business interests (and abolish regulations) is funny in a cartoon. In reality, it's just depressing. We have a candidate running on "foreign policy experience" stating that he won't necessarily meet with a NATO/EU member. Is this a joke?
