John McCain's new ad states among other inanities, that he'll "fight the Oil Companies".

Recognizing the potential for comic gold when I seek it, I thought I'd solicit suggestions for a "top ten"list of ways that McCain will "fight the Oil Companies".

Here are my three:

1) Wrestle them down and plant more Oil Leases in their pockets

2) Agrresively court them for bigger campaign contributions

3) Challenge them for the best luxury boxes at the Republican National Convention

I haven't seen anyone else here point this out, and I thought it was worth at least a post.

In case anyone's been living under a rock, Barack Obama pointed out recently how he didn't "look like the men on the one dollar and five dollar bills." This is a relatively innocuous line that Obaba's used to blunt concerns about him since the primaries.

The McCain campaign, in a classically manipulative Rovian move, recently decided to trump that line into charges of playing the race card.

How do we know McCain's rapid-response "outstage" was all scripted in advance? Because McCain's Campaign, clearly anticipating the standard Obama line, posted this web ad on June 27.

Kudos to Huffpo and specifically blogger Jed  for bringing this to light.
