Matt's first reaction was a very generous take on the audio.

And, to the surprise of no one, Randy Scheueneman is a liar.  They're trying to cover for another age-driven screw-up.

The man's 72 years old.  And an old 72 at that.  As I said to Mig earlier, I keep waiting for someone to ask him to name the current president, and for McCain to reply with "Dwight Eisenhower" or something.

Drew, 72 is not old. I'm almost 72. Could I handle the President's job? Sure, mentally.
The only thing is that I would not like to travel. I like to stay close to my own bathroom.

Which is why I added, "And an old 72 at that."  I'm completely in agreement that there are 72 year-olds who could handle the job properly.  My point, clumsily put, is that McCain is not one of them.

Well I really wouldn't want to be President. I'd probably have to give up my 2 p.m. nap.

Nonsense.  Junior takes naps all the time.

Now if you wanted to be a good president, it might be another story.

But the choice of approach to cover-up rather emphasises the contempt in the McCain camp for "European allies."

Not that I'm surprised by that, but I think it's worth emphasising, ready for the next time we're considering how NATO works.

The audio (via El Pais)
