I have heard this story a lot over the last few days, but all he did was write a letter, which anyone could do. It's not a true nomination, and nothing came of it.

Somehow I don't think it would go over well if you kept mispronouncing your hosts'name. Can you even imagine McCain on jet skiis? Highly improbable. He probably just watched from the shore if the claim is even partly true. McCain is just like the rest of the Republicans and has learned to lie with a straight face.

When Bush uttered his pithy phrase about Georgia being a sovereign nation whose borders should be respected, I spit out a mouthful of coffee. We have no moral standing on this planet anymore. Iraq was a sovereign nation as well, but that didn't stop the U.S. from attacking and occupying it. I believe Georgia made a huge mistake by attacking South Osseta, and Russia's response was way out of proportion. Both country's governments were in the wrong, and as usual, innocent civilians died.
