So it seems that McCain doesn’t know who the Spanish Prime Minister is. But that’s okay because he’s so knowledgable and experienced with foreign policy.

From TPM:

We wanted to give you an update on the post below where we described Sen. McCain’s latest gaffe in which he seemed to suggest that he might not be willing to meet with Spanish Prime Minster Zapatero because he is among those world leaders who want to harm America.

The story is already getting picked up pretty quickly in the Spanish press. And the way it’s being interpreted in the Spanish press is that McCain got confused about the fact that Spain is a country in Europe, rather than a rogue state in Latin America.

Sigh.

Even if he didn’t know you’d think he might look this up before meeting with someone from the Spanish press. This from a man who may become president.
