Top 10 Dumbest John McCain Quotes

Thursday August 21, 2008
Funny McCain Pictures John McCain's startling admission that he doesn't know how many houses he owns is the latest in a series of idiotic gaffes that suggest he may be laughably out of touch.

To recap: he thinks that Iraq and Pakistan share a border; he says he doesn't know a lot about economics; he only recently discovered the Internet; and he occasionally breaks into song about bombing Iran. And for good measure, he has promised to veto "every single beer."

Here are the 10 most idiotic McCain quotes from the 2008 campaign season:

10. "I was looking at the Sturgis schedule, and noticed that you had a beauty pageant, so I encouraged Cindy to compete. I told her [that] with a little luck, she could be the only woman to serve as both the First Lady and Miss Buffalo Chip." --on the annual Miss Buffalo Chip Pageant, which features topless (and occasionally bottomless) contestants (Watch video clip)

3. "I think -- I'll have my staff get to you. It's condominiums where -- I'll have them get to you." --after being asked how many houses he and his wife, Cindy, own (Take a Google Earth tour of the McCain residences and watch Obama's amusing ad slamming McCain)

Good Lord. McCain makes Bush sound like a sober and articulate statesman.

Some of those quotes are really scary. He truly sounds like he is becoming senile. What are people thinking when they say they would vote for McCain? This guy cannot be elected President!

(4) Dwight says:

I’m sorry, but there is a certain chutzpah in charging that Obama is out of touch with average Americans, when you can’t remember how many houses you own!

But I’m being too harsh. Maybe it’s not that he has so many houses, perhaps at his age it’s hard for him to remember so many things. We should definitely put him in charge of the country.

(6) Mr. Mac says:

These isiots that wrote about McCain’s houses have to be far left liberals. Probably from Wisconsin or Sub Inteligent California. I have a wife that owns assets that I don’t know about. So does McCain, so what!!! If they pull their heads out of their arm pits and sign up for a course in mind stretching. They are so narrow of mind that they would need a microscope to measure it. Obama has a 1.2 million dollar estate that he borrowed over 100K from what was later a convicted felon. Until he ran for Pres. did he ever set foot outside the U.S.??? And you want him as Commander-in-chief of our military??? Does he even know what the branches of the military are???

(7) Bill N says:

How could someone that wealthy have any idea how the majority of Americans are struggling. If McCain wins, America loses. Ask yourself if things are better now. Gas, heating oil, unemployment, corruption, dead soldiers, food, bankruptcies, poverty, pollution- need I say more?
