Wearing a turban, definitely

Aren't we all kind of pathetic? We seem to want to regard errors by the candidates we don't support as being meaningful indications of competency and character and the ones by our own as simply momentary lapses in speech because they are tired.

As I said earlier, I look at patterns of dumb before declaring anyone an incompetent idiot.

I never "support" any candidate so they're all free game for me.

Just to note here....I personally haven't yet decided who I am voting for yet, and even if I had, I like to make fun of all of the candidates when such things present themselves!

It was a simple misspeak. He meant to say 47. Think about what he said. We have 50 states. His staffers said no to Hawai'i and Alaska 50-2=48. He has one more to visit. 48-1=47.
Everyone makes mistakes. However, if he were to repeat it often then I would become worried.

Exactly...a forgivable mistake is one thing...

But Hillary outright LIED not once but many times about the sniper fire she was supposedly under in Bosnia....not tolerable....how are you going to lie about something that got caught on camera?

And then McCain whose claim to fame is his 'experience' because he was a POW has Sunnis and Shiites and doesn't remember who is training who....?

I am sorry, I don't want that happening when he sits down with super powers like Russia and China and he gets their allies and enemies so mixed up that a gaffe like that causes an incident because of his misspeak...and face it...he has already said long ago that he doesn't trust Asians (referring to them as 'gooks') so do we really want him at the table with them especially now that most of these countries aren't all that friendly with us?

It's a lot easier for someone to get confused about something like foreign relations but when you've been in the United States for forty years, you don't forget how many states there are no matter how tired you get. And I've never heard this stuff so where are your sources? And yes, I would much rather McCain sit at that table than anyone else running.

Well you haven't been paying attention to this part of GC much if you haven't heard of McCain's gaffe...

You can either search along here because I did post about that a while back or you can use google since you missed it.
