John McCain flubs Middle-earth geography

Today I heard on the news that John McCain referred to those members of the Tea Party who support a balanced budget over wasteful compromise "the tea-party Hobbits (who) could return to Middle-earth having defeated Mordor". Now while I have no qualms being compared to a hobbit defeating Mordor, I must take issue with the notion that Mordor was somehow not part of Middle-earth. It is very much so. Here, take a look at this map. Should have read the books, John!

I'll finish my review of "The Undefeated" tomorrow, as some things came up today.
