McCain Addresses Supporters as "My Fellow Prisoners"
Talk about a Freudian slip. Via Think Progress is one of John McCain's more memorable stump speeches today in Pennsylvania. The Republican presidential candidate refers to his audience as "My fellow prisoners."
"Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners. And the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent."
"This is the kind of mental mixup that really makes you wonder what is truly going on inside of John McCain's mind."
Oh dear. That truly was a senior moment.

Who knows what goes on in the mind of John McCain, lol.

Well in a way McCain is telling the truth. We are all prisoners of Bush's disastrous economic policies. But bless his heart.

McCain is imploding. Day by day and slowly but surely he is losing his mind because he knows he will lose.

Tony is right. McCain is unhinged because he knows he will lose to a black man. George Bush and John McCain have driven the country into the ground and are handing it on a platter to a black man. Must be maddening.

That must have been a Freudian slip to remind the audience he was a POW captive in Vietnam.

Okay, John McCain has officially jumped the shark.

Maybe we'll be lucky and he'll have more such "senior moments" BEFORE 11-4-08.

Even if it was a slip, that's the most accurate thing that man has said in the entire 2008 Election.

I'm 73, a year older but a lot smarter than McCain. I know how memory gradually declines. I know how most of us need a nap about 4 pm. Creative thinking is not what it was up to about 40. With that terrible temper, McCain as President is a scary thought. With possibility of melanoma recurrence, the thought of Palin is just terrifying. We are the laughing stock of the world. Jane
