You seriously can not compare Brown and Mr. Bean.

So it would be reasonable for McCain to be cool on meeting with Gordon Brown?

Being cool on meeting with him doesn’t mean he isn’t going to do so as president. And your argument really doesn’t improve by adding Brown. Obviously McCain would have to meet with all of his allies, not just the UK.

The rain in Spain falls mainly on McCain.

Allah, it’s lines like this that make me come back to HotAir… day….after day….after year…after year….

Do you just sit around and think of pithy things to say? :) :) :)

Exit question: Why would McCain be cool about committing to meeting with a guy who’s on record as saying he hopes Obama wins?

Asked and answered.

Be careful what you wish for. The last ‘regime change’ in Spain came about after a terrorist attack aimed at ending a regime that was friendly with the US war effort.

Nope. That was six years ago. The last election (earlier this year) in Spain was Zapatero’s re-election. He ginned up fear of the “nasty” “right-wing” PP under Aznar’s successor taking power.

By the way, when are the next elections in Spain? Maybe it’s time for a regime change!

little slice of fwance is western

I really don’t see a gaffe here on McCain’s part.

yeah, which is why I was kinda confused by making fun of him based on the hemisphere thing. Colombia is Northern Hemisphere, right? damn, I’ll go get a map

Is Spain one of the 57 states?

I would meet with him before I met with Il Jong, but only just before him.

When is Hot Air going to get firmly behind this ticket, and stop trying to “come from the right, but ‘play it down the middle?’”

Screw the traffic count, already.

Are Spanish troops doing anything in Afghanistan besides doing jack?

Yes, they think about going home and doing jill.

Oh come on. How anally retentive can you get? Obama screws up the kind of stuff that most grade schoolers can get and you are worried about McCain.

Yes, I am worried about McCain precisely because I ain’t votin’ for no Chicago wannabe. I’ll only start worrying about Oby if he actually gets into office.

basia basiliscum meum

he doesn’t know which hemisphere Spain is in,

Look at a map. Spain is west of the Prime Meridian (which runs through the Greenwich Observatory in England), and north of the equator, so it’s in the Western and Northern hemispheres, just like the United States. In this context, since he mentions Latin America, that would probably be the Western. And relations with Spain/Portugal are likely to affect relations with their former colonies.

But since “everybody knows” it’s in the Eastern hemisphere, that makes Mac an idiot, right?

Sarah Palin ha hecho estas personas dementes. Disfrute del espectáculo.

First, sad to say, my Spanish literacy failed me. I know loco but not dementes. I was so close.

Second, I just checked out your site (which I’ve been doing almost daily since you’ve been more active with it), and I saw my name. My first thanks on a blog, and really, I’m so glad someone with more talent than I took that comment and made it better.
