McCain: "Wayne Gretzky is one of the all-time best American athletes!"

[Ichingcarpenter]

If the need arises and the range is close, Mark Salter will edit John McCain in midsentence.
After 19 years at each other's side, neither man gives it a second thought.

When a writer for The New Yorker was interviewing them last year about their latest best-selling book,
the talk turned to hockey and the Arizona senator's admiration for Wayne Gretzky, who coaches the Phoenix Coyotes.

"Wayne Gretzky is one of the all-time best American athletes!" McCain proclaimed. But even before his boss finished speaking, Salter had spotted a slip-up: the hockey legend is from Ontario. "Yes," Salter interjected, "Gretzky is one of the best American athletes … from Canada!"

5. Mark Salter does everything for McGaffe. He even wrote that nasty

letter to Obama in the Senate a couple years ago. Why would America consider yet another semi-retarded puppet President who needs words and thoughts fed to him?
