...a commemt post I saw over at Imstaputz: If McCaim didn't see the ad -- amd catch the misspellimg of his mame -- how could he ethically claim to approve of it?

act like nothing is wrong though we all can clearly see otherwise?

or a tale of well run organization using it's limited resources wisely?

It says it is paid for by "Johm" but was approved by "John." Isn't that a violation of McCain-Feingold?

Is there an "N" durrrp?

How many senior moments can you have before they are not moments anymore, but a lifestyle?

Speling rite is for wimp's and librel's. Johm McCain is a reguler guy. 1 of us! Mccain O8!

Some kid making $18 an hour--who probably votes Democrat, what with Hollywood being full of liberals and all--feels like a complete shithead and might have lost his job over this. Let this one go.

The liberalati at Salon have never had a copy proofing issue.

Only until the comments from folks like "williedigital" start rolling in does it become hilarious:

"Thank Goodness!

The liberalati at Salon have never had a copy proofing issue."

Good stuff....good stuff.

The letter N had not yet been invented when Johm was born.

See, look how the McCain campaign doesn't always get things word perfect? This happens over and over again, and the liberal media is just being unfair.

"M" versus "n" -- clearly you know which one they meant. Just like when McCain says "Shi'ite al-Qaeda in Iran," clearly you know that he means "Wahabist al-Qaeda that we created in Iraq."

The keys are right next to each other.

In all seriousness, while it's amusing on some level, can we at least address the bigger picture a little here? These are among the highest-paid media production people in the world. Little if anything that that happens on their watch — the "accidental" live mikes, the carefully rehearsed misstatements, and now the typos to paint a smooth veneer over the process — is ever anything but scripted.

They script everything. The spontaneous moments, the informal stump speeches — they would script the people on the street if they could (and when they can, they do).

Okay? Say that again a few times. "This, like everything else, was scripted."

Then ask yourself why.

Maybe it's a typo. Or maybe it's an experiment in priming us to accept war in Iran when we think he means Iraq.

McCain's decided to divorce "n" out of his name in favor of "m," whom he thinks is richer, younger, and hasn't been disfigured by a car accident.

If one were to list everything of substance going on in the world of politics today, where would a webmasters typo fit in?

Ive enjoyed Benen quite a bit in War Room this week, but come ON! This isnt even a quality piece of fluff!

that someone did not proof-read it and simply over-looked it like many of us will overlook Johm this November.

Were one of Hillary Clinton's ads to contain such a type, the media, led by Clinto-hater Chris Matthews, would make a weeks' worth of issues out of it and declare (again) the end of her candidacy.

But, since it is John McCain, the reporters' best buddy, this story will have about a thirty second lifetime.

If John McCain does not win the presidency, it will certainly not be because our "independent" media isn't trying to get him in the White House.

Can you imagine the field day the right wing talking heads would have with this if this error came from a Clinton or Obama ad?
