The ‘big surprise" this morning.
The McCain campaign is launching a web ad accusing Obama of trying to hide his ties to the 60s-era radical.
"Too risky for America," the ad concludes.
The idea here is to keep Ayers in the mix without spending precious dollars to put real points behind it on TV. Republicans know that cable TV stations will play the spot for free, regardless of it being a web ad.
So, basically, the faltering, chugging, tailspinning, going down in McFlames campaign is running against the sixties which makes perfect sense since John McCain spent a lot of time crashing planes during that era.
You know how old people are about eating the same things and doing the same things over and over again. For some people, failure can feel like a comfy pair of tattered old slippers…

Dirty Fucking Hippies for Obama never sounded better.
I guess that leaves Squeaky Clean Anal Reactionaries for McPalin — and, hey, they can have ‘em.
Oh for gawd sakes, more of the same. I’m getting bored. Come on McPaliniacs — is this the best you can do?
Does anybody think Ayers will come out of hiding at some point, sit down with Katie and say: “Barack who?”, or “America is evil”? Rev. Wright couldn’t stop himself.
Maybe Ayers could say: “Obama is a peace-loving weenie. He doesn’t wanna blow anything up in this evil country. I denounce him”.
Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Is that photo going to be on the invitations to the inauguration?
Maybe Ayers should show up and say, “You know, I’m a professor, and I’d love to teach McCain and Palin the relevant history, but she’s about 800 SAT points short of admission requirements to the University of Chicago, and he’d fall asleep about two minutes in.”
I had extremely low expectations for their “big news”, but after finding out that it’s an Ayers video I almost felt sorry for the McCain campaign. ALMOST. Steve Schmidt, the campaign’s senior strategist, seems to have all of the strategic instincts & success of Wile Coyote.
As usual, great title, Mr. Bogg.

I’m getting bored.
Me too. One can slow down to gawk at a traffic fatality only for so long.
Wow! Another game changer from McCain/Palin. What’s next, a badly Photoshopped picture of Obama lighting Fidel Castro’s cigar?
ZOMG!!!1! Shocking! All that’s missing is the link. That’ll clinch it.
At last! Proof that Obama is a socialist as evidenced by his membership card in the New Party from 1996! And, his birth certificate says Muslim! It is good we found out before the election though! It is over!
(This is why I dont read the comments on Politico)
I didn’t even realize that this was the major, game changing, late breaking news flash.
If you think this is bad, American Powermad is back on the middle name bullshit.
Dow is hovering around 8600. I’m certain that McCain’s hard hitting ad will take people’s minds off of their 401K’s cratering.
that photo is absolutely classic.
Where’s our Thursday Basset Blogging? You’re not going to try to get by with just that picture of the bassets in the trailer, are you?
yeeOUCH
Ya know, when I was a kid, we had a next door nieghbor who was like 80 something. All the kids in the nieghborhood called her “Aunt Gladys”. She always had these butterscotch hard candies that she would give to the kids if they asked. We would ask virtually every day. One day, Aunt Gladys asked my brother and I to weed her garden and if we did she would give us “a big surprise!” So we spent about an hour weeding her garden and we did a great job. When we were done Aunt Gladys brought us each one butterscotch each.
Maybe its just age.
that photo is absolutely classic.
That picture shows the relatively tame Iowa caucus.
We couldn’t show you pictures of the incredibly groovy Illinois primary! NSFW!!
Less than a week for Krusty’s audience to be clad in foil helmets.
