McCain Ad Uses Bill Clinton To Blame Democrats

A new ad by Sen. McCain uses former President Bill Clinton to validate claims that Democrats were responsible for failing to rein in Fannie and Freddie and ipso facto, the whole shebang. The ad "airs nationally." (We'll see.) 

Here's what Clinton said last week: "I think the responsibility that the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress, or by me when I was President, to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac." He's not blaming Democrats entirely, and, indeed, he's said he prefers Barack Obama's solution.

But he's certainly not reading from the Democratic talking points...
