Paraphrasing McCain: Columbia is the top purchaser of our exports?

[depakid]

Did that strike anyone as bizarre?

That's because it was....

Here's the list:

1. W. is the top purchaser of their export

sniff sniff

[nosmokes]

2. Why you young punk! he's a sacred whore hero! er, war hero! and he was a

POW! and a guard drew a cross in the dirt on X-mas. Everything he says is gospel truth. yea, verily.:sarcasm:

Joe the Plumber.

4. So many of the things McCain says are so far flung from reality that even after years of Bush

and even more years of whack Republicans in Congress, that it's hard for reasonable people to deal with- even if they're a 5 second Google search away.

Surely even freepers can recognize a bizarre statement and search "America" "foreign" "trade" "exports"

3. It's not even the top Latin American country in that regards!

Mexico is the top Latin purchaser of American goods, south of us.

Brazil is the top South American purchaser of American goods.

John McCain scores an EPIC FAIL on this one.

5. Yes it did. thank you NT

6. It's Colombia, not Columbia, John

I wanted to smack him for not knowing how to pronounce the name of the country.

7. Since he's been there- you would think he might pronounce it right

Even if a bonehead like me (who hasn't) can't spell it correctly.
