I've heard about this ad all day, but this is the first time I've seen it. There are no words for that ad. Except maybe: lies. Deception. Lies. More lies. I knew this was going to get ugly, but in my wildest dreams I didn't imagine this.

The media is full of crap, they have allowed all of this to go on, McSame and Palin/Cheney are infringing on copyright laws and not having to worry, could you say that if someone else was doing it?

If Obama had as many copyright steals I am guessing the media would want to throw him in jail. When are these clowns going to do their job and quit kissing McSames posterior?

Alledged sexism is the shield behind Sarah Palin cowers, being critical of the golden child is forbidden by GOP almighty. Putin and Bin Laden must be quaking in their boots!

Alright CBS and Youtube!!!

They all (MSM) should boycott McCain until Sarah speaks and does tough interviews!

Let's hear it for playing the gender card! And the victim card!

Still up on the McCain website though. I wonder if CBS will have to sue to get them to stop using it like the bands that keep getting used without permission. And I can't wait to hear the response from factcheck.org after McCain used their comments out of context in an ad!

Too little too late. The idea is already out there. The Mccain campaign got the meme they wanted in the population; they were successful.

I don't buy that at all. If anything, this whole thing makes Palin look like a crybaby.

Can't wait for the youtube clip showing this ad back to back with Palin saying women candidates shouldn't play the victim card.

Maybe *this* will wake up the media to the fact that they are being played?

Nah, probably not.

Oh, Katie, you never should have said what you said in the first place. The minute you used your gender to explain why you weren't succeeding, you became a victim. How can you ever expect equal respect as the male anchors when you use excuses for your performance?
