Deserving. But something is up.
McCain has been called out on his campaign’s distortions and outright lies – a dishonorable, dishonest campaign: AP, WAPO, NYT front page
via MSNBC-First Read we read this:
To top it off, McCain spokesman Brian Rogers said this to the Politico about the increased media scrutiny of the campaign’s factual claims: “We’re running a campaign to win. And we’re not too concerned about what the media filter tries to say about it.”
Today, the Maestro, Karl Rove on Fox News:
Rove is objecting to a dishonorable, dishonest campaign? !!!?!!! The Karl Rove?
When Karl Rove is saying your political ads have gone too far, you know you must be doing something dishonest.
The former Bush chief strategist, appearing on Fox News Sunday, said that John McCain had stretched the truth in his recent round of attacks against Barack Obama, in the process opening up the Arizonan to a round of effective counter-attacks.
“McCain has gone in his ads one step too far, and sort of attributing to Obama things that are, you know, beyond the 100-percent-truth test,” said Rove. “Both campaigns ought to be careful about… there ought to be an adult who says: ‘Do we really need to go that far in this ad? Don’t we make our point and get broader acceptance and deny the opposition an opportunity to attack us if we don’t include that one little last tweak in the ad?'”
Watch:
Why is Karl Rove speaking out against a campaign he’s reported to be advising? Surely, it can’t be to protect his reputation.
SO, what’s up Karl?
