The perfect metaphor for Republicans. Doesn't matter what actually plays out in history, as long as you say you're right and believe it, that all that matters — everyone else will eventually fall in line.

So, one ad on one page found on the WSJ website = "shovel shit at people"??

Not to mention, I wasn't aware the McCain campaign was responsible for updating the WSJ website. It was probably just some dumbass working for them that put it up too early.

it was the WSJ, not some random blog out there. i'm sure it gets alot of hits.

i'm some dumbass may have been at fault, but the campaign still would have had to pay for the ad...which is the point i was getting at

Since we don't know the ad agreement with the WSJ we really do not know what happened... The way it works usually is the campaign ad company sends the different ads to the different outlets and pays them for a certain number of days, hits, views, etc. but they do not tell them which ad to publish until shortly before it is supposed to be put out there. I am sure cmac knows this as he's involved in the web.

It's just like impala's example of having the hats printed before the big game and someone accidentally dropping one somewhere. Is it irresponsible? Absolutely.

Just like it was irresponsible to publish Steve Jobs' obituary... I'm sure there was some Republican conspiracy behind that one.
