Crusty the Clown

John McCain, crusty the clown, is at it again. His current ad uses Hillary Clinton clips to attack Barack Obama. This particular ad is targeted at Clinton’s angry supporters and of course the independents that McCain needs if he is going to win in November. All of McCain’s ads have a few things in common: they are increasingly negative and each is peppered with that oleaginous hypocrisy of a close at the end “I’m John McCain and I approved this message.” with a goofy smile. Or is it a smirk?



I guess everything is fair game in politics, but I recall Crusty saying that he wasn’t going to run a negative campaign against Obama. What’s particularly noteworthy is that in all the attacks, Crusty hasn’t seen fit to outline what his circus act intends to do to govern. All of his ads focus on Obama in an effort to highlight the presumptive democratic nominee’s alleged shortcomings.

One thing is certain, the race is a dead heat and both candidates need to spend more time talking about what they will do to make life better for Americans. As for McCain, he should fold up the circus tent and behave with the dignity and honor of someone who has served as a military officer and senator who now seeks this Nation’s highest office.
