I saw this for the first time a few days ago. I thought it was hilarious.

And then, I thought about it. And I was in utter disbelief that McCain would actually “approve” — in those now infamous words — “this message.”

My guess — Sen. McCain probably thinks this is more funny than it is accurate. But instead, this creates a preview of the disgusting, annoying and tiring attack-ad campaigns that are to come.

So thank you, Sen. McCain. Not only for your low blow on the Democrats (cut them a little slack), but for instigating an attack worse than Sock’em Boppers to the head.
