McSame As It Ever Was
So as I’ve noted, we’re in Michigan right now, and Molly, her mom, and I were watching the 11 o’clock news last night to learn the latest about Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who manages to get himself indicted, arrested, or jailed about every other day. Then the commercials come on, and lo and behold, there’s that wrinkly white-haired guy’s Britney-Paris-Barack ad.
So even after all the mockery, the negative press, and the Paris response video, the McCain campaign is still running the ad. It’s what, two years since the Berlin speech. Do most Americans even remember that Obama went overseas at this point?
Did the ad buy predate the controversy? Or are they that clueless?
Or Buddha forbid, does their research show it’s actually working?
