Yeah, weirdly, the ad almost makes McCain look good. There he is, nervously on CNN, not saying anything with as much calm, confident manipulation as Cheney or Bush. It's always been clear that there were no weapons (even the CIA admitted it to mainstream press before the U.S. actually went to war) -- But when are the dems going to learn anything about manipulating semiotics? This is like what kids in 9th grade would throw together in a basic video editing program.

If you click on the link, it is specificaly a web/ internet ad. It isn't made for TV which requires more flash and pizazz. For a fast and furious you tube ad it gets its point across.
