OK So I Lied: Hyperlink-Sassy Comment Ahead

Man, Reagan is so hot this year. There he is again at 0:25, averting his eyes from John McCain. Can we talk about the number of other ways in which this ad is super-awkward? How about the HORRENDOUSLY AWKWARD segue in the second sentence of the voiceover: "Half a world away, another kind of love... of country." How Lifetime of you, Senator. "He believes our world is dangerous, our economy in shambles." Inspiring stuff indeed. "Beautiful words cannot make our lives better." Oh, holy hell:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...." "?

Fish in a barrel, maybe, and it is the summer silly season. But this ad could be a look at how the McCain campaign is going to try to work around Obama's mad rhetorical skills and turn having the more cantankerous candidate into an advantage of a kind.
