Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Democratic National Committee has fired its first meaningful salvo at John McCain, blasting him for his patently insane assertion that it was hunky-dory by him if the US remained in Iraq for 100 years. The ad, see it here, is really quite good and the GOP, rather predictably, is full-throated bitch mode about it.

The advertisement drew immediate recriminations from Republican Party officials, who said on Monday that it took Mr. McCain’s words out of context and demanded that television outlets refuse to show it. The commercial is expected to run only on CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC, a limited purchase of air time that the party clearly hopes will be amplified by news coverage about the advertisements.

Dear God, who are they kidding? When the Republicans start whining about being taken out of context, after Kerry’s Swiftboating and their molestation of Al Gore, well that is too rich. The word chutzpah comes to mind as does cry baby. So I hope the DNC doubles their buy and drives home the fact that on most of the substantive issues, be it taxes, spending, Iraq, energy, or consumer protection, electing John McCain is the same as re-electing George W Asshat Bush.
