McCain ad: “Ladies and Gentlemen”
Hot Air » Top Picks — McCain ad: “Ladies and Gentlemen” posted at 7:30 am on October 24, 2008 by Ed Morrissey Send to a Friend | printer-friendly Sometimes political campaigns use third-party endorsements in advertising to impress voters with their reach.  I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an election where a presidential candidate got an inadvertent endorsement from the opposing running mate, but then again, Joe Biden has never made it onto a national ticket until 2008 — and we’re beginning to understand why.  Team McCain uses Biden’s “endorsement” in their latest ad: ANNCR: Listen to Joe Biden. Talking about what electing Barack Obama will mean. ...

Biden says Obama not ready - video
USS Neverdock — USS Neverdock "America is often portrayed as an ignorant, unsophisticated sort of place, full of bible bashers and ruled to a dangerous extent by trashy television, superstition and religious bigotry, a place lacking in respect for evidence based knowledge. I know that is how it is portrayed because I have done my bit to paint that picture..." BBC's Washington correspondent Justin Webb

Election Central Morning Roundup
TPMDC — McCain Ad: An Obama Crisis "Doesn't Have To Happen" The new McCain ad, which will air in key states, uses Joe Biden's gaffe about how Barack Obama will be tested in an international crisis, so as to warn voters that Obama is too much of a risk -- with some truly incredible imagery: Images flash across the screen of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, crowds of chanting Arabs, tanks, and gun-toting militia-men. To which the announcer replies: "It doesn't have to happen. Vote McCain." The Highest-Paid McCain Staffer: Palin's Makeup Artist! The ...

New McCain ad: 'Ladies and Gentlemen'
Hyscience — Although it's not unusual for political campaigns to use third-party endorsements in advertising to impress voters, this just might be the first election in which a presidential candidate got an inadvertent endorsement from the opposing running mate, but that was before Joe Biden made it onto a national ticket until 2008, and as Ed Morrissey notes ...

McCain Ad Uses Biden's Words Against Obama
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — The McCain campaign's newest television advertisement, released Friday morning, goes straight after Barack Obama's readiness to handle an international crisis by using his running mate's words against him. Titled "Ladies and Gentlemen," the spot juxtaposes Joe Biden's rather boneheaded (but out of context) statement that Obama will be tested within six months in office with a series of frightening shots of terrorists and hostile foreign leaders. "It doesn't have to happen," says the announcer. "Vote McCain." In past elections this line of attack would likely be a ...

McCain TV Ad on Biden's "Crisis" Remarks
Weekly Standard Blog — Script For "Ladies And Gentlemen" (TV :30) ANNCR: Listen to Joe Biden. Talking about what electing Barack Obama will mean. JOE BIDEN: Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama. The world is looking. We're going to have an international crisis ... to test the mettle of this guy. I guarantee you it's gonna happen.

Why Settle For An Obama-Inspired Crisis?
A Blog For All — Just ask Joe Biden. He knows that our nation's enemies are going to test Sen. Barack Obama within months of taking the White House to take a measure of the man. ANNOUNCER: Listen to Joe Biden. Talking about what electing Barack Obama will mean. JOE BIDEN: Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama. The world is looking.

Andrea Mitchell and the rest won't do it, so it's up to us
Jim Treacher's Blog That Is on the Internet — Andrea Mitchell and the rest won't do it, so it's up to us If you think more people need to know what Biden said, please go here , get the embed code, and put this on your own blog. McCain hasn't been committing massive credit card fraud, so he can't afford to do the sort of outright spamming Obama has done with his TV ads. It's easy to fake grassroots support when America's enemies abroad are flooding you with cash. Posted by Jim Treacher at October 24, 2008 06:39 AM

"Ladies And Gentlemen"
Hotline On Call Part Deux — New John McCain ad uses audio Joe Biden saying the U.S. will be tested in the early months of a Barack Obama administration: The spot will air in "key states." Script available after the jump. ANNCR: Listen to Joe Biden. Talking about what electing Barack Obama will mean. JOE BIDEN: Mark my words.

Yippie Kay Yay, Joey Biden.
RedState: Conservative News and Community — Thanks for the assist. There are times where "Joe Biden opens his mouth" is wholly inadequate as a tag. This is one of those times. Again, thanks for the help, Senator Biden. Moe Lane PS: The title, of course, is evocative of Biden's slip in referring to our nominee as "John McLane' - something too hokey for the McCain campaign itself to really try to push, so I'm sure that they're grateful that Biden did it for them. Biden then went on to watch a NASCAR joke that he probably didn't really understand anyway fall flat among a crowd ...

Get Ready for the Ad Blitz
The Caucus — Heading in to the second-to-last weekend of the presidential race, the tenor of the latest TV commercials up for airtime provides another stark contrast between the two candidates. As Senator John McCain has repeatedly hammered away at the remarks made last Sunday by Senator Joseph R. Biden Jr., (predicting that his running mate, Barack Obama, would face an international crisis of the first order), now the Republicans are up with a new campaign ad clearly intended by its imagery to stoke fear about such an event. The audio of Senator Biden’s remarks has an echo-y effect, while pictures of tanks, Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Iran’s ...

Finally, McCain Ad On Biden's Attack Prediction
Tammy Bruce — It's quite good, and considering my previous post about how Bush's so-called Homeland Security department just sold L.A. port security to China, and as Dems still complain about Sarah's wardrobe, this is a good reminder about what's really at stake in this election.

McCain's Biden Ad
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — It's not bad, but it's not enough:

Today in The Nation: Boo! From Guess Who?
The Nation: Top Stories — Predictably enough, John McCain made an ad based on Joe Biden's stupid, stupid comment that, mark his words, the world will test Barack Obama with a "generated crisis" within six months of taking office. The spot takes us on an all-fear, all-boogeymen trip around the world, with Hugo Chavez, Ahmadinejad, and ski-masked jihadis riding shotgun. I would've been more scared if that second image didn't look so much like a fetal sonogram and make me think this was a terrorist-cum-antiabortion ad, a straddle too far even for the McCain campaign. On further viewing, however, I could make out that those were battleships. And that the fist-shaking ...

Must-See Ad From John McCain

Endgame: Oct. 26
The Caucus — THE DAY Sunday was the 41st anniversary of the day Senator John McCain was shot down over Vietnam , an event that might put into perspective these last nine days before the election in which he is trailing in the polls . He has been through worse. On “Meet the Press” on NBC, he undermined his attempt to separate from President Bush by saying, “Do we share a common philosophy of the Republican Party? Of course.” Senator Barack Obama immediately worked that into his speech, calling it “a little straight talk,” at last. If there is friction between Mr. McCain’s camp and that of his running mate, Gov. Sarah Palin, ...

Charles J. Brown: There Will Be a Crisis, No Matter Who Is President
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — It's been over a week since Joe Biden said that world events would test Obama in his first six months in office: "Mark my words. It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama. . . . The world is looking. . . . We're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy. . . . I guarantee you that it's going to happen. The McCain campaign has jumped all over this, running an ad with the tag line, "It doesn't have to happen. Vote McCain." When I first heard about this, I dismissed it as a tempest in a teapot -- Joe Biden running off ...

Video: A Tale Of Two Gaffes
