Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) tried to counter charges from Democrats that his candidacy is offering a third Bush term in the infamous Green Monster Speech. Unfortunately for John McCain, he argued about his strident support for President Bush three years ago. Since that interview, according to Congressional Quarterly, McCain sided with the President 89 percent (2006), 95 percent (2007) and 100 percent (2008) of the time in the U.S. Senate.

Not a whole lot of “distance” there.

According to the latest advertisement released by the campaign for Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), the senator and his crack squad of admen believe Iraq is in Africa. The part of the script in question reads as follows:

Ethiopia. Zambia. Iraq. Twenty-nine intense trips in 12 years to the front — to the saddest parts of Africa.

Watch below — it may not be up for long:

State Senator Andrew Rice is the Democratic nominee set to meet Senator Inhofe in the fall.

Vice President Dick Cheney declared that we were seeing the “last throes of the insurgency” in 2005. Three years later, the insurgency is stronger now than it was then, and we are still there.

The vice president said he expected the war would end during President Bush’s second term, which ends in 2009.
