McCain's "Disreqpectful" ad is, well, disrespectful and dishonest

The ad:



And, from factcheck.org:

The McCain-Palin campaign has released a new TV ad that distorts quotes from the Obama campaign. It takes words out of context to make it sound as though the Democratic ticket is belittling Palin:

* The ad says "they said she was doing 'what she was told.' " But the Obama adviser who's being quoted didn't accuse Palin of meekly following orders. What he actually said is that she made a false claim about Obama's legislative record and added, "maybe that's what she was told."

* It says "they lashed out at Sarah Palin; dismissed her as 'good looking,' " But "they" didn't lash out at all. Obama – who is the one pictured – didn't say anything like that. The only one the McCain campaign quotes is Obama's running mate, Biden, and he actually offered the remark as a compliment. Biden said the "obvious" difference between Palin and himself is "she's good looking."

* The ad says Obama was "disrespectful" when he accused Palin of "lying" about her record. But the truth is Palin's claim to have "said no" to the "bridge to nowhere" is indeed a dubious one, as we and many have pointed out.

Maybe Hillary Could Debate Herself

This post is chock full of video goodness.

Hillary Clinton, and the rest of the Democratic field, agreed not to do any debates on FOXPropaganda. Well, now that she's no longer the front runner, she's scambling, and trying to change the rules. Kinda like the whole campaigning in Florida thing. Anyway, Hillary's first attack ad:



Then, the Obama campaign responded thusly:



Not to be outdone, Hillary comes back with annother attack ad, accusing Obama of attacking:



Maybe, if Hillary wants to debate, she can debate herself, like she did here, courtesy of the Edwards campaign:



Or, she can make crappy ads like this one (this is the lead in her YouTube Profile, I kid you not):
