So the McCain campaign is out with yet another false ad, this one prominently featuring Sarah Palin, who they obviously see as John McCain's personal political savior.
Howard Kurtz calls the ad's claims about Palin on the Bridge To Nowhere a "whopper." It's a lie they've peddled nonstop for the past ten days, right up there with the eBay lie, and it's in keeping with just about every other McCain ad so far this election season.
It's been obvious for weeks now that John McCain has a serious truthiness problem in his campaign, but now that Sarah Palin has joined the ticket, they've taken the propaganda to a new level, not only telling lie after lie about her record in Alaska, but cleverly shielding her from media scrutiny.
It's just another reminder that after all is said and done, McCain-Palin is just more of the same -- more of the same old kinds of lies that Bush and Cheney told us, just in a fresh new diguise.
