You would think after the story about Palin living near Russia not exactly impressing the American people as an example of foreign policy experience that they would know better, but according to McCain advisor Richard Fontaine (who will probably be fired shortly):
”Talking a little about his personal experience, he was famously born in Panama and has traveled all over the hemisphere for many years.” Fontaine said. “In fact, I saw, I guess it was last week, that his old girlfriend in Brazil has been found from his early days when he was in the Navy and was interviewed. She’s a somewhat older woman now than she was then, but it sorta speaks to the long experience he has had in the region — in the most positive terms.”
“He was born in Panama, which illustrates a lifetime spent in Latin America. He has known a lot of people. The thing about the Brazilian girlfriend was in his first memoir, and it stuck in my brain. Look at the two candidates and contrast his extensive experience. That’s the only point I was trying to make.”
And what does his former fling have to say?
”I called him John but also my darling and my sweet coconut,” she said. “He was a great kisser. I liked it so much that I bought a book to learn how to kiss myself.”
No word yet on whether McCain is now promoting a foreign policy of ‘Make Love Not War’ or whether this is just his way of demonstrating how to carry a big stick.
