    I find them both offensive

    I only wish the election were today so we didn't have to put up with any more of this nonsense. It is incredibly depressing how low the McCain/Palin machine will sink as they attempt to secure their victory at any cost.

    It actually smacks of McCain's late-stage involvement in the Keating 5 scandal. This is an op-ed reprint gives you a little bit of the flavor of what was going down back in the eighties.
