Wasn't it Schmidt, McCain's new hit man, who produced the "Call me" ad in Tennessee?

So doesn't simple logic dictate that Schmidt's recent inclusion in the McCain inner circle, followed closely by the appearance of this blond-bimbo celebrity ad are quite closely connected?

Can I get a group "DUH!"

Anyone who refuses to admit that this is just more of the same is either ultimately ignorant or "one of them" running cover for McCain's new handler(s).

One big problem for McCain. Their patent Republican myopism blinds them from the fact that Tennessee is not Iowa or Ohio or California, or even Illinois, and the same tactics that worked in a tight race in an ethnically charged and morally challenged southern state can only backfire on them in this historic election.

McCain's got a long and fruitless history of trusting in the very rogues he once lamented.

Once again, his staff of miscreant Rove wannabes has managed to create a firestorm that will burn their own ground.

I smell Mehlman and Gillespie, which means the turdblossom too is once again in full bloom, somewhere out on the Republican pasture.

Expect much, much worse as McCain's numbers inevitably falter, these kinds of ads are wholly indicative of one thing: McCain is already losing, he's replaying Bob Dole '96 for all the world to see. So they are pulling out what decency stops they still have in place, in a desperate frontal assault against overwhelming populist odds.

The writing is on the wall, and all over the blogs.  But the MSM doesn't want the fire to go out of the R's yet, they need them to remain delusional for a few more million bucks worth of ad time and space.

This started as a comment on another post, but as it hit the page,  I felt compelled to post it as a blog.

The Wingnut radioheads have finally found their place in the history books, especially Sean Hannity.

Hannity's most loyal "fan" recently shot and killed two innocent people in a Unitarian church in Knoxville, TN, because they were "liberals."

Hannity's latest "hate liberals" book was on the crazy man's coffee table, along with others by Rush and O'Reilly and Savage.

I imagine he kept Coulters books in the bedroom.

If you want to see just what sort of influence these wingnut radio and TV hate-mongers have had on the fringes of our society, just follow this story in the news as it unfolds.

Hannity's hateful "free speech" has finally come to fruition, and some innocent people died because of him and Savage and Rush and the rest of the wingnut radioheads.

Maybe Hannity will find a way to justify himself, in his own eyes, but it will fall into the delusional category.History won't be so kind. Hannity will forever be remembered as a loudmouth, red-faced hate-filled bully who aspired to inspire dangerous people to do evil things, in the name of some neocon creed. And the families and loved ones of those innocent victims will always spit his name out with contempt when they speak it.

Quite a legacy, Sean. Congratulations on actually clinching your niche in America's history books.
