When the King Of Sleaze Karl Rove himself says you are over-stepping the boundaries of ethical, appropriate campaign advertising, you know you’re the sleazy candidate. That’s right, Karl Rove has said John McCain’s recent Obama-bashing ads go too far. How bad is that? I would have thought, or at least hoped, McCain would have learned the lesson from his own ruck through the mud in South Carolina in 2000 at the hands of King Karl but apparently not. He is running the sleaziest of campaigns. So much for the ‘straight talk express’ mumbo jumbo.
