The ad ties McConnell to his support of Mister W's endlessly failed Iraq policy and, in doing so, serves a number of functions:
- With more Americans than ever before wanting our involvement in the War to end ASAP, it brands him strong enough to follow him into his reelection race next year.
- If it scares him enough maybe he really will do the right thing and help us get the hell out. Even better if he smears Cheney and Bush with their own fecal matter, but that's unlikely in today's lock$tep Republican Party.
- It reminds any viewer that Bush has lost this one a long, long time ago. He's just too stubborn, arrogant and, yes, corrupt.
His corruption is one of needy ego rather than need for wealth (he was born with that), but at the same time he's appointed and encouraged others to seek personal wealth at the expense of The Common Good. He is a sworn enemy of The Common Good, no matter what lie intended or otherwise that shoots out of his lips.
Here's the ad, from Matthew Yglesias's always excellent blog.
Smell the Progress.
