He Suspends His Campaign, But Doesn't Suspend Its Commericals? (Update: And He Doesn't Suspend His Campaign Staff Either)

Not a surprise with how he does things nowadays.

Readers have been sending in reports all morning that John McCain's attack ads are still up in swing states around the country, notwithstanding McCain's puffed-up and vainglorious claims to have suspended his campaign to go to Washington and -destroy the giant meteor hurtling toward earth- save the economy. We are, as I write this, working the phones to confirm just what's up. In McCain's possible defense it can take a while to get ads down off the air. But we'll be getting to the bottom of it shortly.

If you see McCain's ads up, definitely let us know.

Here in Massachusetts and back in TWD's home of New York, those ad's won't be up because they aren't swing states. And frankly, McCain hasn't even bothered to spend his money here. But New Hampshire certainly may have those ad's, along with the other battle grounds.

And it will be the first lie exposed, of what will be many today, from the worst Presidential campaign in American history.

Update: And it just gets worst:

On Fox about an hour ago, McCain adviser Nancy Pfotenhauer was asked about Obama's suggestion that the bailout deal appeared to be adopting some of his suggestions.

"We don't want to focus too much on that right now because we want there to be a resolution," Pfotenhauer said, a bit later adding:


"But this is maybe perhaps part of the pattern that we've seen before where Senator Obama would claim that the housing bill came out of his committe--and he didn't even sit on the committee. or that the stimulus package was his package and even his democratic leader said that it wasn't."

That's not surprising though from this campaign, and especially from Pfotenliar, who is one of the nastiest people in the political world.

She fits perfectly in their slime filled mendacity.
