Yes Ladies and Gentleman, He Did it Again.

The Gaffe disease that makes this man so ill. (via kubla000 at the Kos)
And it's not Obama of course.

Candidates spend a lot of time talking, and they all misspeak sometimes. But did anyone else notice this, from Wednesday's much-covered McCain-Palin "Town Hall" event in Grand Rapids, Mich., where Palin answered questions from people in the audience? McCain said this near the end of the clip below, as he's talking up Palin's foreign policy/national security credentials:
"I also know, if I might remind you, that she is commander of the Alaska National Guard. In fact, you may know that on Sept. 11 a large contingent of the Alaska Guard deployed to Iraq and her son happened to be one of them. So I think she understands our national security challenges..."

You can picture certified a--hole Rick Davis (his campaign manager for those who don't know) having to tell McCain this after the speech:
Um, Senator, boss, you may have said something, well, um....

For here is the massive blunder from the one and only McBlunder:
The ceremony Palin attended at Fort Wainwright last week didn't involve the Alaska National Guard. Palin's son is in the Army, and his unit - 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division - deployed to Iraq.

The visual evidence (Fast-forward to the 5:03 mark):

Never mind the fact that he's being deployed to Iraq despite "The Surge being a success." John McCain is placing himself as not only the man behind the worst campaign in American history, but also, lining himself up to be the Greatest Gaffer of ALL TIME.
