Snarkity snarkity snark. Looks like the McCain campaign made a bit of a boo-boo in this Web ad...

"Johm" McCain, eh? As the irrepressible Instaputz, who first caught this, puts it: "this might explain his problems distinguishing between Iraq and Iran."

McCain talks in typo, especially when he refers to the various sects in Iraq.

McCain, the "Ooops" Candidate!

Another fake headline on HuffPo. Why can't Huffpo tell the truth in their headlines? Obviously, McCain had nothing to do with it. This is just a mild example, but their misleading headlines have to stop - if they honor truth.

This is cute, but you know, we're really going to have to start attacking McCain on something substantive, something that even the wing-nuts can feel embarrassed about. We're going to have to do better than this.

The latest Rasmussen polls for the November election show the US pretty evenly divided (and this after seven years of bush). We need to change some minds folks, and we're not going to do it with this juvenile level of nitpicking.

Maybe Bush typeset the AD.

At least it wasn't misspelled as "McBush".

This is the level of John McCain and the budget staff around him.

Lots of better gotchas than this.
But we forgive grandpa a lot when he can't remember one grandchild's name versus another or one terrorist group over another.

Embarrassing? Yes.
An actual reflection of his competence? Of course not.

Funny anyway? Oh, yeah...

He could have proofed his own add. You know an executive would make sure that crap wasn't put out. Just a thought.

Clearly you've never worked near an executive. No, an executive would not make sure that crap wasn't put out. They pay others good money to do that for them.

Wow, collecting typos now. As if he actually ever proof reads ads - ever hear of a staff? Is there anything you Hufftards won't waste space on?

Yes, you would think that a candidate could get competent staff. Just saying.

Most people know how to tell the difference between a misspelling and a typo. That's clearly a typo.

Spell check is your friend. But yeah, it's amusing, but that's about it.

And most people have their ad work edited before spending bundles of money on typos.

McCain - Duh! Huh?

and clearly McCain is careless, lazy and arrogant, thinking there is no need to proof read.

Heh. Kinda funny but not meaningful. It's not like McCain typed up the ad. I wonder when some one is going to start hammering him about marrying an heiress like they did to Kerry in '04. Well I don't really wonder because no one will.

Its really quite devious.
We are so busy laughing at the spelling error we aren't noticing that what he is saying is insane.
............or maybe they are alll just political hacks with a third grade education.
