McCain: "Not Tougher. Dumber."
Uploaded by: LatinXTC
Video Description:
"We are one terrorist attack away from John McCain rising in the polls." I think Maher just stumbled upon the next conspiracy.
How is is possible that after eight trips to Iraq and decades of foreign policy experience that John McCain still can't tell a Sunni from a Shia, or understand that Al Qaeda and Iran are on separate sides of a schism that has existed in Islam for the last 13 centuries or so?
Get Ready for McCainisms---
