McCain: We need to kick Russia out of the G8.



Every so often "the Maverick", running to become the oldest man ever elected to the presidency, reveals just how extreme his views actually are and nowhere is this clearer than in his stated desire to kick Russia out of the G8. Now, as far as plans go, this is somewhere between bonkers and fit to be tied, as there is not a chance in Hell that other G8 nations would go along with such madness.

Also note how this self proclaimed "foreign policy expert" makes yet another gaffe by referring to Putin as "President Putin" which causes Stephanopoulos to interject with, "Former President Putin".

These gaffes are becoming so common now that they almost seem routine. He appears to think that
Czechoslovakia still exists, he believes that Iraq and Pakistan share a border, and he has repeatedly claimed that Shiite Iran are training Sunni dominated al Qaeda.

It's impossible to continue to write these howlers off as slips of the tongue as they happen so frequently. So, when he's not making horrendous factual errors, he's proposing policies - like the one above - which have zero chance of succeeding. This isn't a bid for the presidency, it's a suicide note.
