McCain Got Laid So He Knows Brazil

To counter McCain's recent Latin American gaffes, his campaign is now touting the fact that he hit the sack fifty years ago with a Brazilian babe as an example of his "experience" in the region:

"Talking a little about his personal experience, he was famously born in Panama and has traveled all over the hemisphere for many years." (McCain advisor Richard Fontaine) said. "In fact, I saw, I guess it was last week, that his old girlfriend in Brazil has been found from his early days when he was in the Navy and was interviewed. She's a somewhat older woman now than she was then, but it sorta speaks to the long experience he has had in the region -- in the most positive terms."

Asked afterward about whether he was suggesting that McCain's fling with a Latin hottie counted as Latin America foreign policy experience, Fontaine said: "The only thing I was trying to convey was that his experience goes back a long way."

You can't make this stuff up.
