Good. And the ad nicely avoids the issue of whether McCain is losing his cognitive abilities because of his advanced age (he's going to be 72 in a week). Rather, the ad simply notes that Americans are suffering economically and John McCain, and his seven houses, thinks everything is going swell.
UPDATE: The McCain campaign just issued a response that is so all over the place, it's worthy of a Democrat. It also evinces just a wee bit of pique :-)
“Does a guy who made more than $4 million last year, just got back from vacation on a private beach in Hawaii and bought his own million-dollar mansion with the help of a convicted felon really want to get into a debate about houses? Does a guy who worries about the price of arugula and thinks regular people “cling” to guns and religion in the face of economic hardship really want to have a debate about who’s in touch with regular Americans?Well, if the McCain campaign wants to play the kitchen sink game, let me add a few points:
“The reality is that Barack Obama’s plans to raise taxes and opposition to producing more energy here at home as gas prices skyrocket show he’s completely out of touch with the concerns of average Americans.”
1. Adultery is forbidden in the Bible.
2. So is bigamy.
3. How is Vicki Eiseman?
4. Keating Five.
5. Stealing medicine from poor children to feed your drug addiction, while not specifically enumerated in the Bible, is probably frowned upon.
6. I can't remember if I have five or six points to make here.
7. Oh yeah, and according to John McCain, Obama's $4m makes him "middle class."
