Matt Yglesias, I think fairly, gives his take on the whole McCain v. Spain gaffe:

...instead of admitting to a minor mix-up, the McCain campaign decided that in order to preserve their man’s aura of omniscience they would . . . provoke a diplomatic incident with Spain.

It's kind of sad that virtually all of the other alternative ways of looking at this situation portray McCain in a worse light.

I wanted to put this in the "Humor" category - but it's too scary/pathetic to be funny at the moment. Maybe in November - or maybe not.
