Can anyone stop the madness?

As depicted on the award-winning AMC show, people in the advertising industry in the 1960s are utterly despicable. So is McCain's ad team. To go by their latest ad, they are willing to say and do anything to win.

Notwithstanding its mixed messages -- what do celebrity starlets have to do with offshore drilling and isn't it good that people around the world want to hear what Obama has to say? -- this ad is beyond despicable. McCain supports higher prices for coal and natural gas -- assuming he is not abandoning his cap and trade system as everyone else in his campaign alredy has. And, of course, coastal drilling will do nothing to lower energy prices even in 2030.

One more question -- exactly who is this "John McCain" guy who would approve such a message? Somebody, strictly Bush league, I'm afraid.
