Remember when John McCain was the most honorable man in politics?
McCain said that he urged Kerry some time ago not to talk about Vietnam during his campaign. 'I did advise John. I said, "Look, you shouldn't talk about Vietnam because everybody else will. Let everybody else do it." His advisers figured that was probably not enough, that he had to emphasize that in his campaign. In my campaign, as you know, I didn't talk about it because I didn't need to.'" -- The Washington Post, August 27, 2004Now enjoy his first ad of the campaign. Note, in particular, the end sequence, which doesn't use Vietnam at all, and the odd tagline, "John McCain: The American President Americans Have Been Waiting For." This is, presumably, in contrast to Barack Obama, "the Kenyan Muslim President Whom Al-Qaeda Has been Waiting For."Classy, classy.
