Fair's Fair

Since this morning's This Week will feature only one guest - St. John (what a shock!) - Cliff Schecter, author of The Real McCain, offers up 12 questions that Snuffleupagus should ask but won't. An example:

3. Doesn’t your confusion regarding basic facts about the war in Iraq, including repeatedly citing a nonexistent Al Qaeda-Iran alliance, make you unfit for command?

On four occasions in one month, you confused friend and foe in Iraq by describing Sunni Al Qaeda as being backed by Shiite Iran. Then you showed a misunderstanding of the U.S. chain of command when you claimed you would not back shifting forces from Iraq to Afghanistan “unless Gen. [David] Petraeus said that he felt that the situation called for that,” a decision which Petraeus himself told you and your Senate colleagues only the week before rests not with him but with his superiors. Doesn’t your lack of understanding and judgment when it comes to basic facts of America’s national security disqualify you as commander-in-chief?

If video is more your thing Robert Greenwald offers up a fantasy version of the interview.

ADDED: Now St. John is whinging about being quoted accurately.
