J.P. on MSNBC

J.P. Freire will be on MSNBC at 4 pm debating Eli Pariser, executive director of moveon.org, about their new ad campaign against John McCain's policy in Iraq. The absurd ad, which I posted below, features a mother talking about her baby Alex. It ends with the question, "John McCain, when you say you would stay in Iraq for 100 years, were you counting on Alex? Because if you were, you can't have him." Of course, that point may have some relevance if McCain were calling for reinstating the draft, but since we have an all-volunteer Army, it's a total non sequitur.

topics:
John McCain, Iraq
