5 Reasons McCain Was Right About Spain
So Mr. Foreign Policy, John “Warhawk” McCain, showed his septuagenarian ass this week in a radio interview by 1) confusing Spain’s prime minster, Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, with a Central American dictator, and 2) not admitting his mistake and instead letting his campaign imply that he’s actually taking a tough stance toward Spain, a NATO ally. Now THAT’S a dickbag who’s clearly not fit to serve maverick.
But while he’s clearly wrong in his stance (his campaign’s acting hardbody because Zapatero pulled Spain’s troops out of Iraq when he was elected), there are a few things about Spain we wouldn’t mind wiping off the map…
STUPID CULINARY TRENDS
Tapas (aka, Tiny Piece of Food x Tinier Plate). Fish-flavored foam. Cooking chicken in a Ziplock submerged in warm water. Call us rubes, but we’ll stick with something you can actually chew.
STUPID TERRORISTS
The ETA, a Basque separatist movement, is like Spain’s version of those guys in Texas who want to become a state. Except they play dress-up, which makes them even more annoying.
STUPID VEHICLES
Mopeds? Who knows, maybe we’re wrong; maybe it really is the fastest way to get from the discotheque to the store that sells no deodorant.
STUPID SPANISH INQUISITIONS
“Hey, let’s spend 350 years torturing Jews and Muslims! And to top it off, let’s inspire Monty Python to create a skit that morons will be quoting during World of Warcraft marathons for 350 more years!”
STUPID RACISTS
We’ve said it before, but still: Awesome work, you gawky stinky patchy-bearded lovers of hairy women.

Explain Spain to McCain
To parody “The Rain in Spain†from the musical “My Fair Lady†(which was not about Sarah Palin):
: – )
“Explain McCain Spain our ally remains.
You think he’s got it.? Don’t think he’s got it.
And what’s more, John, just where would you find Spain?
Not south of these parts. Go look in Europe.
And does he know Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
Belongs to NATO. Three cheers for NATO!
The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain!
You think he’ll get it. By George, he’s like George.â€

Weak sauce post.
There’s nothing to make fun of on tapas, their separatists go way harder than the most gully of klansmen and if your ass lives in a city with no car, quiet down on the mopeds.

I totaly agree with Senator McCain attitude on President Zapatero and I´d expect that every U.S. citizen to do the same not for withdrawing troops from Iraq but for offending the american flag in the trooping ceremony in Madrid being the only authority remainig intentionally and consciusly seated while passing by the flag. Many spaniards were offended too and before President Bush or Senator McCain talk to President Zapatero, he will have to excuse himself in public to those and to all the american that feel the “bars and stars” flag as the symbol which represent them.
On the other hand , I,d not be too much confident with some one who ask in public the other members of the coalition in Irak to abandom the americans and is closer to Morales,Chavez and Castro values than the ones the western world defends.

Funny! Lets do the same execise for the USA.
1. Food. You dont like tapas? According to TheNYT , and TheWallStreetJurnal…Spain has 4 out 10 of the best restaurants in the world. You prefer Coke, hamburgers and Pizza. A country full of the fatest people in the world and highest dead rate of greasy people full of fat.
2. Terrorist. No comments on this.I dont make jokes about this. My partner´s wife die in the Atocha´s Bombing by arabic extremist, in part because we follow your fucking bastard president to this crazy war in Irak which has killed …3000 americans. Another Vietman
3. Inquisition: Another joke.. the country which almost exterminated the Native American Indians
4. Mopeds? I have been to Spain and I never saw any of those.
5. Racists? Another joke. The USA calling racist to any country in the world… go to LA or NY or SF downtowns to see how black people live. The worst example of racism is, without the slightest amount of doubt, the almight USA of America. Just learn a little bit of history, and read
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We world is tired of the USA.
