McCain aide Mark Salter gets all salty:
I asked about the decision to use the unusually harrowing clip -- reportedly, McCain himself is uncomfortable with it -- and senior aide Mark Salter took an unusually direct swipe at Mitt Romney, "I don't know, I guess we could have gone with the first time he waterskiied past the sandbar but we thought this might say a little more about his character and love of country."

How about using the video of McCain walking on a Baghdad street saying, "its safe to walk on Baghdad streets" while surrounded by hundreds of armed escorts, humvees, and helicopters.
When a once-proud man becomes a joke and a coward, it's a sad thing to watch. Checkout McCain's credibility.
McCain, in September 2007:
"Americans are sad, they're frustrated, they're angry, and they want out. And I understand that; there were four years of failure under Rumsfeld. As you know, I spoke out early on, in November of 2003, saying that strategy was doomed to failure."
McCain, in December 2003:
"This is a mission accomplished. They know how much influence Saddam Hussein had on the Iraqi people, how much more difficult it made to get their cooperation."
McCain, in March 2004:
"I'm confident we're on the right course."
McCain, in December 2005:
"I do think that progress is being made in a lot of Iraq. Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course. If I thought we weren't making progress, I'd be despondent."
