Mr. Elbow Care thinks Israel has a dome

Mitch McConnell - who now trails in most polls - lives in an 8-year-old's sci-fi fantasy world of domed countries and currency made out of bubble gum.

The Iron Dome is the name of Israel's air defense system. It isn't literally a dome. It consists largely of missile launchers on the ground. During a recent interview, McConnell's Democratic opponent Alison Lundergan Grimes condemned Israeli attacks on Gaza civilians - but also said the Iron Dome had helped prevent attacks on Israel.

McConnell immediately went into gaffe mode and said it couldn't possibly be true that a dome could protect Israel from Hamas building tunnels to enter the country.

Uh, Mitch, do you even know what the Iron Dome is? It's not a dome, you idiot. This ranks right up there with Sarah Palin thinking Africa was a country.

Hilariously, the Republican Party of Kentucky doubled down and repeated McConnell's gaffe on its Facebook page.

Now that's a winning party!
