would lead to Senator John McCain saying something bizarre? Here’s the audio:

Here is what McCain said: “It gives Raul some propaganda to continue to prop up his dictatorial, brutal regime, that’s all.”

Then asked about whether Obama should have shaken Castro’s hand, McCain said this:

“Of course not. Why should you shake hands with somebody who’s keeping Americans in prison? I mean, what’s the point?”

And then it happened.

“Neville Chamberlain shook hands with Hitler,” he added.

Apparently McCain forgets his own past.
