Obama Commercial: Irony Overload

It’s a terribly irony (is it not?) that Senator McCain, who expended so much effort in working to limit the influence of outsized money-pots in politics, finds himself suffocating under the avalanche of Senator Obama’s media spending, which was itself enabled by a broken pledge to accept public financing and to abide by the attached limitations. And it’s no less ironic that the Left, which detested the specter of billionaires “buying offices,” stands prepared to cheer Obama for exploiting his dishonorably gotten financial advantage — just before a World Series game, no less.
