McSame must have been living in a senatorial cocoon since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He doesn't know that Czechoslovakia ceased to exist 15 years ago.  Wonder if he's aware of the break-up of Yugoslavia? 

Somebody must have told McClueless about the break-up of the Soviet Union because he threatened to send his chief economic adviser, Phil Gramm, to Belarus as ambassador after his remark that Americans should stop "whining" about US economic catatstrophe.

From ThinkProgress:  During a press availability today, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that he’s been concerned by “a couple of steps that the Russian government took in the last several day,” including “reducing the energy supplies to Czechoslovakia.” But, as TPM’s Greg Sargent points out, Czechoslovakia hasn’t existed in 15 years. This isn’t the first time McCain has made this mistake. At a debate in Oct. 2007, McCain said that America needs to “have a missile defense system in place in Czechoslovakia and Poland.”

"Sargent notes that McCain also made the Czechoslovakia mix up about three months ago on Don Imus's radio show.
