Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) injected presidential politics into the bailout negotiations with his latest antics.

Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, lampooned the official position of the United States government on the Russian invasion of the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
Stewart: “It’ll be very interesting to see what the United States does here. Our invasion of Iraq somewhat hamstrings our options in Georgia, not just militarily, but also diplomatically, and I guess you would say, morally? Let’s watch our UN Ambsassador Zalmay Khalilzad dance the delicate dance.
Khalilzad: We want to make sure our Russian colleagues understand that the days of overthrowing leaders by military means…
Stewart: Careful, Khalilzad. Steady… Steady…
Khalilzad: The days of overthrowing leaders by military means in Europe, those days are gone…
Stewart: Yes! He did it! Those days are gone … in Europe. In the Middle East, it’s morning in America.
In a speech about the Russian invasion, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) stated that “In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.”
Do not adjust your calendars: the years 2001 and 2003 are still part of the “21st century.”
