‘My fellow prisoners"– this is how John McCain referred to Americans during a Pennsylvania campaign speech today, in a gaffe that is already widely circulated online in a CNN video excerpt.
In the video below, McCain’s daughter and his running mate Governor Sarah Palin appear to ignore or miss the gaffe, though Palin decidedly swivel her head directly after.
The phrase was uttered as part of the following statement:
"Across this country, this is the agenda that I have set before my fellow prisoners, and the same standards of clarity and candor must now be applied to my opponent."
RawStory thought Palin missed the gaffe altogether:
Standing behind her father, Meghan McCain briefly furrows her brow, apparently recognizing the 72-year-old seantor’s gaffe. Vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin also is flanking McCain on stage, but it is less clear whether she recognizes the mistake.
