Remember all that fuss about John McCain referring to Czechoslovakia, the European country that split up in 1993 into the Czech Republic and Slovakia? Supposedly, it was proof of his senility, rather than just an honest mistake.

Well it turns out McCain isn't the only one. Any takers on a bet the media won't report this?

Czech Republic

The MSM won't cover this for anything. Can't have anyone linked to Obama being made to look stupid.

 

Non Event

This will turn into a non-event.  Most of the "journalists" who are reporting these days have no idea that the Czech Republich and Slovakia separated back in 1993.  Most don't know that Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia- Herzgovina, and Macedonia were formerly known as Yugoslavia.  Nor do they know that Yugoslavia became a country after Tito took over and "united" the different countries into one. ( I forgot Albania, sorry.) 

If a republican makes any kind of gaffe and the press can figure it out, then they will be hammered.  If the dhimmis do it it will not be reported.  If Dan Quayle made half the gaffes that Obambi made the press would still be non stop over the 52 or 53 or however many states Obambi believes there are.  Serving 9-10 years?  I could go on.

The same group of "journalists" described by expatriot think that the Beatles were Paul McCartney's first backup band.
