New York Sun:

The McCain campaign is gearing up to criticize Senator Obama for his past associations with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and a former Weather Underground operative, William Ayers.

The McCain campaign, according to one aide, decided it would play the Wright and Ayers cards after Mr. Obama’s campaign ran ads linking Senator McCain to a talk radio host, Rush Limbaugh. “Our position is we are no longer going to feel constrained to avoid his very real associations in contrast to the very fictional associations he has imputed to John McCain in this campaign,” this aide said.

The Wall Street Journal on September 19 quoted one of Mr. McCain’s top aides, Mark Salter, as saying the campaign was “tired of catching spears.” He also said, “They played it one way, we played it another way. Now we’re both going to play it the same way.”

    That’s just John McCain.
    He probably knows a thing or two about catching spears.
    He might not have invented fire, but he probably knows the guy who did.

    Why is it that McCain and everybody around hom seem to be drug addicts?
    John McCain = Ambien, previous amphetamine usage.
    Cindy McCain = Oxycontin
    Rush = Oxycontin
    Sarah Palin = Previous Marajuana abuse.
    Bush, Alcoholic cocaine abuser
    Bush’s Preacher Ted Haggard = Methamphetamine and gay sex.
