- AxmxZ, on 07/14/2008, -12/+279McCain better Czech himself.
(Sorry, couldn't resist.) - rz8472, on 07/15/2008, -6/+153This just in, McCain has pledged to campaign in all 13 colonies. Now THAT's commitment!
- AxmxZ, on 07/14/2008, -12/+149The General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union will have stern words for McCain.
- inactive, on 07/14/2008, -12/+113McCain also said he would never purchase another Studebaker, given the troubles he'd been having with his lately.
- Homerr, on 07/14/2008, -8/+91You can't take the Cold War out of the Cold Warrior...
- mentallyinhell, on 07/14/2008, -15/+89Alzheimer's is a bitch isn't it?
- a1cd, on 07/15/2008, -9/+78We are so ***** screwed..
- PATSCRU, on 07/15/2008, -8/+73Yeah, heard him say that in Constantinople.
- rynTAU, on 07/15/2008, -3/+56before he wrecks himself?
- Akaricloud, on 07/15/2008, -2/+47Oman thats funny.
- mooseofshadows, on 07/15/2008, -4/+40You fool, it's called Byzantium!
- inactive, on 07/15/2008, -2/+37Once he's done with Iran it wont be a country either!
- speakafreaka, on 07/15/2008, -3/+35Jamaican me laugh so much iran around the room looking like a turkey.
Penis - ldkronos, on 07/15/2008, -5/+34True, but I'd expect a little more from the potential leader of the US.
- cdigioia, on 07/15/2008, -5/+31I doubt Pres. Bush ever knew Czechoslovakia existed in the first place.
- parax, on 07/15/2008, -10/+35I dislike McCain as much as the next person, but I must empathize with this mistake. half the world still refers to the Union of Myanmar as Burma, and it's just generally difficult to keep up with geography the way countries around the world are changing their status and name fairly often. I was raised learning about the USSR and then I'm told to forget all the ***** they spent more than 10 years filling my head with.
World geography is a complex issue, and I'm not going to throw someone under the bus for a slip up like that. Focus on the mistakes that matter. - booyahbitch, on 07/15/2008, -1/+25Yeah, he forgot he was supposed to vote NO on Telecom Immunity!!! ***** n00b prez candidates!!!
- merreborn, on 07/15/2008, -2/+25Yes, I'd like to send this letter to the Prussian consulate in Siam by aeromail. Am I too late for the 4:30 autogyro?
- hdar3415, on 07/14/2008, -17/+40McCain also believes that the citizens of America should bow down and give him praise.
- grlykool, on 07/14/2008, -15/+37McGaffe-a day.
- arjie, on 07/15/2008, -0/+21Denmark my words, his campaign is doomed.
- Galaxylander, on 07/15/2008, -2/+22HEY- That's NOBODY'S business but the Turk's.
- byrdgang, on 07/15/2008, -8/+26QuadZeroRoute, do you honestly believe that an individual who has lived in the United States for the majority of his life could possibly forget the number of states (assuming this person doesn't have memory problems)? You are only mocking yourself by even suggesting this.
I am an immigrant, and I know how many states there are. That's because you learn this early on in school (moved here pretty early in life).
Suggesting Obama, someone who went to Harvard and graduated at the top of his class, wouldn't know the number of states is baffling. He knows where Harvard is located, but he doesn't know the number of states? Do you genuinely believe this?
Last, there are no Islamic countries in the world today, damn it. None. There are countries with Muslim majorities, but no Islamic countries. - jheimark, on 07/15/2008, -0/+18calling Myanmar Burma can be a sign of respect for the people struggling there against an oppressive, illegitimate regime.
- Braintricks, on 07/15/2008, -1/+18As a Czech American, I urge you to all buy that stupid Threadless ( I think) shirt that says "Czech yourself before you wreck yourself".
Thank you. - gropo, on 07/15/2008, -2/+18*bemoans cost of leaded gas these days
- quez, on 07/15/2008, -8/+23Obama misspoke. He clearly meant 'forty-seven'. That's kind of different from not being aware that Czechoslovakia has not existed as a nation since 1993.
- DreamSynthesis, on 07/15/2008, -2/+17Now now McCain has no time for this nonsense. He needs to prepare for his visit to Atlantis.
- crazycarlmar, on 07/15/2008, -2/+15because big dicks in his ass are bad for his health?
- PalIkas, on 07/15/2008, -0/+13Calling Burma.... Burma Is a rejection of the Nasty military dictators that want to call Burma Myanmar....
- quez, on 07/15/2008, -2/+14I just worry that his lack of knowledge regarding Europe could make a state dinner with the King of Prussia an awkward experience.
- MasterGrief, on 07/15/2008, -1/+12Not at all, my good man. Pilot's been having a bit of trouble with the cranker--bleeding thing's been gummed one too many times. Shall be off shortly, though, and I'll have this letter aboard for you when he goes. Pip, pip!
- waydee, on 07/15/2008, -5/+16This man wishes to be president.
Presidents require diplomacy, up to date knowledge of foreign affairs, at the very least a smattering of geographical knowledge. The Czech Republic is where the US wishes to place a lot of missiles as part of their defence shield - get the name of the country right for gods sake, this man does your country no favours at all. This might have been slightly understandable 14 years ago but now? these are EU member states and independent nations for over a decade and a half.
This isn't forgetting the new name of a sports stadium, this is a serious gaffe and one that the rest of the world will just pick up on and criticise the US even more for - hasn't Dubya done enough damage? why is this war mongering idiot even in the running? - benhollister, on 07/15/2008, -6/+17You do realize you are calling a sitting United States senator a terrorist, right? I don't care who you plan on voting for, have a little respect for our public servants.
- BlueSkyfish, on 07/15/2008, -1/+12Starting in New Amsterdam.
- TheCasablancan, on 07/15/2008, -0/+10@Braintricks
You... get bites on the neck? - zenithmbr, on 07/14/2008, -5/+15you don't actually think we care do you?
- waydee, on 07/15/2008, -7/+17The fact that this man is even in the running for president of the dominant superpower when he cannot even get the name of a country right really worries me. What the ***** is wrong with some people.
- WasabiBomb, on 07/15/2008, -1/+11So, patpl, it's your contention that Obama doesn't know how many states there are? Really?
I want to hear you say that a sitting US senator, one who's running for Presidential office, doesn't know how many states there are. I'd really like to hear you say that.
'Cause then we can point and laugh at you. - DesignNerd, on 07/15/2008, -1/+11I am always Hungary for a good pun.
- alexhud, on 07/15/2008, -1/+11prague is ***** beautiful btw
- merreborn, on 07/15/2008, -3/+13Exactly. McCain's probably known it as "Czechoslovakia" since its formation in 1918. When you've called something by one name for 75 years, it's hard to break the habit.
Just wait til he realizes what happened to Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire... - charm803, on 07/15/2008, -5/+15Seeing that McCain is VERY involved in POLITICS, this is something he should be aware of.
Just because his copy of Encyclopedia Britannica still refers to it as a country, doesn't mean it's true. - wildbill185, on 07/15/2008, -14/+24wow, you guys are harsh on the dude. Imagine for instance someone like me, from cleveland. For most of my life I've been going to Jacob's field to see the Indians and the Gund arena to watch meh Cav's play. In the last couple years, the two have become Progressive field and The Q respectively. Now the percentage of time is about the same (how long it hasnt been Czechoslovakia to McCain's life to how long it hasn't been the gund arena to my life). I still find myself saying the wrong name of the sporting arena's because I am so used to it being that way. Seriously cut the guy some slack. The likelihood of him winning the election as it is is almost nil. What is the point of beating a dead horse?
- waydee, on 07/15/2008, -7/+16... this is the man who wants to lead your country and you're ok with him commanding a military when he cannot even get the name of a country right?
Sorry but anyone in a position as powerful as he is should know damn well that there is no Czechoslovakia and the very fact he obviously doesn't know the difference between that and the Czech Republic/Slovakia should instantly put him out of the running. Imagine if he got the presidency and made this mistake, don't you think Americans get a bad enough rep for their supposed ignorance of foreign affairs and geographical knowledge? - scstraus, on 07/15/2008, -1/+10I am an American who has lived in Prague for the last 8 years, and I can tell you definitively approximately a third of americans still call it Czechoslovakia. Amazingly, even 10-20% of Americans actually visiting the country do (how they get this far without realizing where their going is beyond me).
So no throwing stones if you live in a glass house. You know who you are. - blckt, on 07/15/2008, -1/+10Prague: Czech It Out
- inactive, on 07/15/2008, -2/+11Any of 'em running for President?
- jivatmanx, on 07/15/2008, -1/+10He was thinking about after we colonize mars.
Better to have your head in the future than the past. - atbnet, on 07/15/2008, -1/+10As a Czech American, I never knew such an awesome t-shirt existed. And all these years I thought the Czech Republic was lame.
