McCain’s new Iran gaffe

Doddering old panderer to Time’s Joe Klein: if the “average American” thinks Ahmadinejad is Iran’s leader, that’s good enough for him.

As the National Security Network’s Ilan Goldenberg notes, “if the ‘average American’ thinks that Ahmadinejad is the ultimate leader of Iran” it would be McCain’s job as president “to dissuade them of this notion - not reinforce it.”

If the “average American” thinks nuking Iran is a good idea, it's good enough for me! If the “average American” thinks a bowling score is a great way to choose a president, it's good enough for me! If the “average American” thinks wearing underpants on my head is okay, it's good enough for me!

Fun fact: Ahmadinejad does not rule Iran.
