This doesn't help counter the age jokes:
Yesterday -- channeling Woodrow Wilson and Henry Cabot Lodge -- McCain referred to the "League of Nations." He had meant to say "League of Democracies," his proposal for a new organization of allies beyond the U.N.
League of Nations? Not so much.

A slip of the tongue in a senior moment is no doubt understandable. What's even worse is that this whole idea of a "League of Democracies" is such a terrible idea, as Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times persuasively explains in Why McCain's big idea is a bad idea.
