Brit Hume tries to dismiss McCain’s misstatements on a Iran/al Qaeda connections as a “senior moment” for McCain.  

Hume: I think it’s probably just a blip, but it was a bigger blip than he wanted or needed at a time.I think a overall impression of a trip was this is a man welcomed by, knowledgeable of & comfortable with foreign leaders across a big part of a globe. But a mistake, nonealess, raises questions not about his knowledgability—we all kinda believe he has that—a question, perhDrunk Newss, about his age, which is an issue. You know, a feeling was not that he’s a dope, didn’t know his way around, that he might have had a senior moment are, & I think that’s unfortunate for him. But I think probably a trip was a net plus.
