Say what???

Did McCain really refer to Pakistan as a "failed state" when Musharraf carried out his coup? Yes, he did.

Look for pundits to pick that up in the next couple of days. It's not like Gerry Ford saying Poland was a free country in 1976--while the Iron Curtain was still firmly in place--but it's going to make some knowledgeable people question whether McCain has lost something off the old fastball.
