I don't think McCain is a friend of Wikipedia, like Duval and Barack are. McCain proably thinks Wikipedia is a country in the Baltics.
As usual, McCain was reading what they shoved under his nose, although he seems to have come to life - that is, seems to have reanimated - at this comfortable old Cold War brinksmanship blather. It's the territory he's most familiar with, he's already been on about a League of Democracies. But this is not 1958. It's not even 1968. It's forty years later, Russia has a lot more money and controls a lot more oil than it used to, and we've already used our world's-only-superpower status to stretch ourselves plenty thin militarily, financially and trustworthily as everyone in the world knows. If he minds being laughed at and discounted as a toothless old symbol of a time gone by, and by extension damning the United States the same way, he needs to hire some modern political advisors who will teach him to recognize the world he lives in.
he would probably volunteer to be someones wingman in the bombing attack.
Oh, thanks, Tuborg.
"Well, boys, I reckon this is it - nuclear combat toe to toe with the Roosskies. Now look, boys, I ain't much of a hand at makin' speeches, but I got a pretty fair idea that something doggone important is goin' on back there. And I got a fair idea the kinda personal emotions that some of you fellas may be thinkin'. Heck, I reckon you wouldn't even be human bein's if you didn't have some pretty strong personal feelin's about nuclear combat. I want you to remember one thing, the folks back home is a-countin' on you and by golly, we ain't about to let 'em down. I tell you something else, if this thing turns out to be half as important as I figure it just might be, I'd say that you're all in line for some important promotions and personal citations when this thing's over with. That goes for ever' last one of you regardless of your race, color or your creed. Now let's get this thing on the hump - we got some flyin' to do!"

think of how much worse it could have been for mccain. he can't use a computer, so what if he searched wikipedia wrong and started out his speech, "I have a high regard for the land of the peaches, and consider myself a bulldog."
LIEBERMAN: [Cough] No, Senator McCain, that's land of the fruits, [whispers] they are not growing peaches,and you consider yourself a maverick.
MCCAIN:[snickers] Oh, right-right. That's what I meant to say...
