I'd never seen anything like that ad. Putting pictures of Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden next to the picture of a man who left three limbs on the battlefield -- it's worse than disgraceful. It's reprehensible.
- John McCain on the campaign ads used by Saxby Chambliss against Sen. Max Cleland in the 2002 GA U.S. Senate race
Now: McCain is going to campaign for Chambliss in the runoff for his re-election.
Politics is a funny business.

Wouldn't be the first politician to kindle an old flame. Typical Washington Post liberal rhetoric.
ReplyDeleteNo, but it is funny. Anyway, I think Chambliss, like Coleman, came in on the wave of post-9/11 environs, when the drumbeat for war in Iraq was very popular. As someone who feels taken by said drumbeat, I feel the defeat of these guys would be symbolic. I do not necessarily want 60+ Dems in the Senate, but maybe it would make it easier for a renewed GOP to make some gains in 2010.
