#3 So, it turns out that the pig is Obama's staff.

#4 They're doing exactly what Obama said he would do: strike hard and personal. Today Obama himself said it's fair to question just which country McCain puts first.

scum.

#5 Mike, you're assuming he disapproves of the commercial's message.

I suspect he does disapprove - but only of getting caught with his zipper down. Again.

#6 The NRO article links to an AP story. That story reveals more idiot Obama camp moves. Get this, they're going to run an ad knocking McCain for how long he's been in Washington.

Gosh, Molly, I wonder what the McCain camp can use to counter that.

#7 Keeping Karl Rove busy, writing the scripts for both sides, though he only wants one side to win.

#9 Be sure and read down to the end of the NRO article for Jonah's very good point about the implied "chickenhawk" (chickenhacker?) argument.

#10 McCain should use that ad in his own ad blasting the shit out of Zero for being insensitive (and stupid - how hard is it to use google?)

But then I guess McCain has more class than that.

#12 I'd really like to believe that Obama's staff is inept, and that's all that's behind this.

But think about this for a second. You have the "flip Hillary the bird--oops, I was just scratching my ear" incident in the primaries. Then you have the lipstick on a pig thing. Now this.

Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is deliberate action.

I'm starting to come 'round to the sense that beneath that smooth, sophisticated, very polished exterior Obama, there's a truly nasty s.o.b. that sneaks out through the cracks now and again. If I'm right--I'd prefer not to be, I'd rather assume the best about people, even ones I'd crawl over broken glass to vote against--expect to see more of the same, especially if the polls keep trending against him.

#13 "expect to see more of the same, especially if the polls keep trending against [Obama]"

I sincerely hope so, Mike.

Disgusting as it is, McCain and Palin, being adults, can take it.

Nobama, being a whiney-assed ~~communist~~ mental 4th grader, can't.

It's entertaining watching him implode, even if in so doing he and ~~the MSM~~ his camp insult and trash McCain and Palin. As I said, they can take it, and are probably enjoying the spectacle of his ignoring the First Rule of Holes as much as we are.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that was Governor Palin delivering the last shipment of fuel for the DNC backhoe fleet. :-D

#14 I think that at least a significant portion of the MSM will turn on Obama if this goes on much longer. When it becomes obvious that he's going down they'll try to salvage something of their reputations by ripping him apart.
