McCain's a Disingenuous Asshole, Part II

Posted by Melissa McEwan at Wednesday, September 10, 2008
You might have noticed that the McCain advert accusing Obama of calling Palin a pig is no longer available. That's because CBS has demanded YouTube remove it based on its misuse of footage of their anchor, Katie Couric:
"One of the great lessons of that campaign is the continued and accepted role of sexism in American life," Couric is quoted in the ad.

In the original clip, which aired months before Palin entered the race, Couric was talking about Hillary Clinton. The ad applies her words to Palin.
John McCain has no respect for the truth. None. McCain is a liar. He can't win on issues, so he'll try to win by any other means necessary. He has no honor and no integrity.

I'm Melissa McEwan, and I approve that message.
