politics as usual

It was no surprise that the Obama campaign made an ad within milliseconds of McCain’s completely moronic response to the question of how many houses he owned. (And also no surprise that McCain issued a moronic response to begin with now that I know that he graduated 894th in his class of 899 at Annapolis. I think Dubya was even smarter than that as he sailed half-drunk and stroned through college.)

But now the McCain camp has issued a rebuttal ad, something to the effect of Obama buying his $1.6 million home (really not that much when you live in Seattle!) with the help of a convicted felon blah blah….

So I’m waiting now for Obama to say something like he doesn’t Skittles, and the McCain camp will fling out an ad to the effect of:

Barack Obama vacationed in Hawaii
And now he doesn’t like Skittles?
Every child loves Skittles and would rather vacation in Disneyland
Clearly, Senator Obama hates children
America cannot afford a child-hater in the White House

And then McCain will comment that he doesn’t like peanut butter, and the Obama camp will issue an ad:

Senator McCain hates your mother
He won’t even eat her peanut butter cookies
Do you really want to vote for the candidate who hates Mom?

November is going to be a long time coming.
