Appearing at a rally today in Pennsylvania, POW-turned-Senator John McCain made this slip while discussing domestic policy: “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.”

We’re sure he meant “My fellow citizens,” or, possibly, “Americans,” but surely not prisoners. Unless he’s commenting on the psychological prison created by the current administration, in which case – right on!
