Friday Fun Stuff--Part Tois?

Is it me, or was there some happy fairy pixie dust sprinkled down all over this country today? If we start thinking happy thoughts, will we all be flying around like Peter Pan and Tinkerbell? I found this story on Talking Points Memo, of which the source was TPM Cafe. But first, a little history lesson--remember John McCain's toe-tappin' song Bomb Iran? You can find this hit on YouTube:



Well, the folks at MoveOn decided that this was too good to be true. So they made their own little political ad which incorporated McCain's toe-tappin' hit. From TPM Cafe:

That was quick. A day after John McCain was pilloried for singing about bombing Iran to the tune of a Beach Boys song, a new TV ad attacking him for the gaffe has already been cut and is ready to go up on the air.

The new ad -- which was paid for by MoveOn and will air next week in early GOP primary states -- shows video of McCain's song (McCain's Swan Song, perhaps?) and concludes: "We can't afford another reckless President."

We're trying to get a bit more info on the size of the buy and which states it's running in. We'll let you know what we find.

Update: According to a MoveOn spokesman, the ad will run in Iowa and New Hampshire, and perhaps other states, through the end of next week. The size of the ad buy is approximately $100,000.

And here is the MoveOn ad. From YouTube:



The Curse of Howard Dean's Scream is now haunting John McCain.
