Understatement Of The Year

McCain is not exactly a details guy. ~Chuck Todd

He is so very much not a “details guy” that he often doesn’t know the details of his own proposals, repeatedly makes errors when discussing specific aspects of vital foreign policy questions, and makes statements that contradict his own plans.  To say that he is not one for details takes for granted that he is at least competent when speaking in broad terms, but this isn’t true, either.
