According to his advisers, John McCain is an experienced man. He has experience in Latin America going back decades. Of course, the experience McCain adviser Richard Fontaine argued about involved former Brazilian beauty queen Maria Gracinda Teixeira de Jesus. This is the woman McCain had a relationship with 50 years ago when his ship docked at a Brazilian port.
“Talking a little about his personal experience, he was famously born in Panama and has traveled all over the hemisphere for many years. In fact, I saw, I guess it was last week, that his old girlfriend in Brazil has been found from his early days when he was in the Navy and was interviewed. She’s a somewhat older woman now than she was then, but it sorta speaks to the long experience he has had in the region – in the most positive terms.”
If being the mayor of Wasilla provides executive experience relevant to the Vice-Presidency, then I suppose having a fling with a Brazilian beauty queen provides experience in foreign affairs.
I guess is “screwing” someone is his idea of Foreign Policy…he’s probably right…..
