McCain addresses crowd as ‘my fellow prisoners.’»
The Jed Report notes that in a rally today, Sen. John McCain referred to his audience as “my fellow prisoners“:

Across this country, this is the agenda I have set before my fellow prisoners. And the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent.

11. What kind of mind associates "prisoners" with "citizens" or "Americans"???

One could generously assume he meant "my fellow Americans" or "my fellow citizens" ... but the word "prisoners" has to be close enough in his brain for wires to get crossed on the way to his mouth. That's not just the 'word retrieval' problem of dementia/encephalopathy - it's something about how he associates the terms.

He's toast. Disintegrating daily. :shrug:

12. A former business partner of mine

began using odd and incorrect words like that as his health began to fail. Possibly related to Parkinsons and the onset of a brain cancer. Might be a good idea if ol' Johnny gets a check-up before trying to convince people he's ready to be POTUS.
