First McCain stumbled over the difference between Sunni and Shi’as in Iraq.  Who the good guys were and such.  Now he stumbles again.

In a townhall meeting held Tuesday in Albuquerque, N.M., John McCain mistakenly referred to current events in Czechoslovakia, a country that ceased to exist in 1993 after separating into the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

McCain expressed “regret some of the recent behavior that Russia has exhibited…including reduction in oil supplies to Czechoslovakia.”

THis is not such a big deal except that it does fly a bit inot the face of his claim to the better experience in foreign policy, when he has a hard time with countries and Iraqi tribes and religious sects.  Or it could be in his mind the Czech Republic and Slovakia are still one country.  If so then that could lead to more criticism of his age.
