UM, HOW THE HELL OLD IS McCAIN?
>
Did my brain just stroke out there for a second, or did McCain, playing fawnball with Tweety on Hardball, just refer to longtime territorial ambitions of not just Iran, but of Persians in general? [Stop complaining; he could have mentioned the Persion and the Medes.]
Who the hell is this guy, the Comte de St. Germaine?
And what else might we fear of a McCain administration that we don't already?
Will we be drawn into a land war in Silesia? Will we have to dispatch US Navy galleys to maintain vital control of the Hellespont? Will the landed lords quash the guilds to shore up an oligopoly on moveable
printed type?
Can we really allow the vicious Genovese to develop Greek Fire? Can we continue to tolerate a permeable border with Visogoths crossing willy-nilly and sending what should be our tribute back across the Danube?
For fuck's sake, if not us, who will stop the encroachment of the Muslim infidel?
Oh, wait, we're already fighting that war.

THAT was maybe the worst piece of fauxshit I have EVER seen on MSNBC.
McFeeble at some event for college students telling the young Republicans he is for change, with fawnballs served up by tweety.
I know you're being satirical (or trying), but... for the first time in recent memory, John McCain got something right. The majority ethnic group in Iran, the Persians, do indeed refer to themselves as Persian -- partially to distinguish themselves from the other ethnicities of Arab, Baluchi, Bakhtiari, etc.
The other reason they call themselves Persians is because the word "Iran" is really just a made-up word, used primarily in the West, and in Iran, only refers to the political country of Iran. If you have a moment, look up the origins of the word Iran and laugh heartily as you realize the word means nothing, and some letters were typos and reversed for no particular reason other than confused Persians.
Lest I be an apologist for McCain, I still think he is a rapacious, rotten old piece of crap who should have followed the rest of the Keating Five into retirement a long time ago. And Chris Matthews is about as big a hack as they come. Whew. I feel better now.
Yeah, yeah, their preferred ethnic identification aside, I'm sure the entire nation, Parthian- or Median-descended or whatever, still have prideful collective, if not GENETIC, ambition to control all the vital trade routes in the Mediterranean and to wreak unholy vengeance on Athens. And probably to get the Ark of the Covenant back.
