You know, I can easily forgive gaffes made because of fatigue, or just an innocent mistake.
McCain's Iraq-Pakistan statement is one. I am sure he meant Afghanistan, and I shouldn't have included it in my list.
Obama saying 57 instead of 47 is another
And Obama saying Sioux City (in Iowa), instead of Sioux Falls (in South Dakota) is another. Especially when he explained (in the full quote) that he had come from months of campaigning in Iowa. Michelle Malkin was just being her normal witchy self.
It is when what they say are not innocent mistakes, but reveal who they really are that are telling. When heckled yesterday, Obama didn't have the man tazed, didn't have security drag him out, and didn't get into some shouting match. He dealt with him like a polished, admirable leader. McCain made stripper jokes about his wife....
