<p>poetsheart - I agree with you regarding mixing up names when speaking. I’m giving McCain a pass on this one. If one parent here (with more than one child) has not called one child by the other’s name (at least several times) and visa versa, please raise your hand. </p>
<p>Now give me a list of other things I disagree with Obama, I mean Clinton, I mean McCain, and I’ll go to town with my opinions.</p>
<p>Regarding who has what experience… somehow I missed this one: </p>
<p>Colin Powell on “Good Morning America” today sounded like he was giving Barack Obama’s talking points when it comes to the experience question. </p>
<p>ABC News’ Dianne Sawyer asked Powell what he made of the presidential candidate’s “relative lack” of seasoning as a national and international figure.</p>
<p>"He doesn’t have experience at the senior levels of national government. But I’ve seen other individuals come along who didn’t have that breadth of experience and what they do is surround themselves with people who do bring that experience. </p>
<p>“With Sen. Obama, he didn’t have a lot of experience running a presidential campaign, did he? But he seems to know how to organize a task and he seems to know how to apply resources to a problem at hand. So that gives me some indication that (with) his inexperience in foreign affairs or domestic affairs, he may be someone who can learn quickly.”</p>
<p>I’m not going to bust McCain’s chops over this - but the only gaffe I heard was McCain saying that Iran was supporting al Qaeda, not simply mixing up “Sunni” and “Shia.” Sunni/Shia are words anyone could mix up (as is Iraq/Iran for that matter.) But it’s all nitpicking, just like Clinton forgetting the name of some (Russian? - I don’t recall the details) politician. It’s not a multiple choice test.</p>
<p>The use of the word pinhead is actually something I got from the Factor , O’Reilly’s last segment is always Pinheads and Patriots.</p>
