John McCain's gaffe about an Iran-al-Qaida connection revealed how he and his hard-line allies are itching to target the mullahs next.
  • Is McCain Suffering From Dementia?

    What seems to have gone unnoticed is that fact that McCain "misspoke" on the Iran/Al Qaeda connection not just once, but several times on the same day.

    Is it possible that McCain is already suffering from dementia? I'd be interested in hearing from brain scientists regarding the connection, if any, between repeated misstatements versus an isolated, singular mistake.

    Either that, or as Conason suggests, he's just itching to get in there and, having seen the success of the bushies in hoodwinking the press and the public through the repetition of false info, thinks he can get away with it too.
