Truth in advertising?
Aug. 4th, 2008 12:51 pmApologies to my liberal friends. To the rest, you will probably find this funny.
Today at the gym I was watching TV, and listening, too, since my phone has an FM tuner. The Obama smear ad on McCain that I've seen about 3 million times in the past month came on. (I've heard McCain has some negative ads too, but they aren't running in Florida.) It starts by stating that John McCain opposed finding alternative energy, blah, blah, blah. Then it goes on about Obama's brilliant plan to... well, no one really knows, because, as always, he just says what he's going to do, and not how he's going to do it.
Anyway. The 30 seconds of smearing + Obama's plan ended - or, really, 28 or 29 seconds, because the next commercial cut off Obama's. Interestingly, because of that, I heard the first thing I agreed with:
"I'm Barack Obama, and I approved this mess."
