Just typing the header gave me a chuckle - it’s a brilliant premise. This piece by Confederate Yankee is pretty darn clever, and it signals to those comedy writers who doubted it that there is plenty of room for real satire involving both candidates in this campaign. Unfortunately, due to formatting, I can’t excerpt it here - you must go read it for yourself. Like I said - pretty clever. And cute, too, since these two can’t seem to get together for a debate…read it all
Also, I don’t know if I agree that this is a “great” ad, I’m posting it here, just in the interests of fair play. Obama’s getting all that continual and free press…just seems like McCain is due a little attention:
I’m old enough to have bought 16 Magazine during my Wonder Years. Reading or watching the mainstream media now brings me back to those days. “The Beatles are not breaking up! Remember, 16 Magazine is the one place to go for the TRUTH!”
Sound like any media outlet now? They’re the place to go for the TRUTH!

E: Just throwing this out but I believe the “voice over” in at least one of the ads was done by Jaclyn Smith (former Charlie’s Angel)!

Interestingly, the PC vs. Mac could work in reverse. P[olitically] C[orrect] vs. Mac[Cain].
And if McCain selects Mitt, it could be Mac ‘n Mitt or Mac ‘n Cheeze.
