New McCain Ad Attacks Obama Kids


In what might be his most controversial attack ad in a campaign dominated
by them, presumptive G.O.P. presidential nominee John McCain today
launched a new TV spot attacking Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill)'s two children.

According to political insiders, a negative ad targeting a rival's
offspring is highly unorthodox, especially when the children in question
are under the age of ten.

But after the two Obama kids scored in their performance on national
television last night at the Democratic convention, "we had to do
something to give the American people some straight talk on those two
brats," Sen. McCain said today.

In the ad, which is being broadcast in key swing states, an announcer
intones, "They're the cutest children in the world - but are they ready to
lead?"

The spot uses visuals to link the two Obama kids to other famously cute
kids, such as the young Drew Barrymore and the Cabbage Patch dolls.

The commercial goes on to blast the Obama children for "smiling and
giggling but refusing to state their position on offshore oil drilling."

While some critics questioned how well the ad would play in living rooms
across America, Sen. McCain defended it, telling reporters, "It played
very well in all of my living rooms."

Another winner from my favorite news reporter, Andy Borowitz.

Yes, I know it's humor but where did McCain say "we had to do
something to give the American people some straight talk on those two
brats"?

If he did say it shame on him. If he didn't I don't think "his" words
should be placed inside quotes.



It's satire. Up until this moment, I thought only Loogy the Terminally
Dumb took Andy literally.

Quack, quack, quack.
