McCain Broke 9/11 Truce

Naughty naughty!! Could you imagine if Obama had done this? We'd never hear the end of it!

The two presidential campaigns had declared a truce for the anniversary of 9/11. Traditional campaigning, especially of the negative sort, was supposed to be put on hold. But John McCain's campaign, it's now clear, broke that truce -- and did so with an ad that nonpartisan watchdog FactCheck.org calls "particularly egregious" for its distortions.

FactCheck is also responsible for noticing the violation of the truce; it caught the McCain camp airing the ad in Denver on Thursday, the seventh anniversary of 9/11. And there's another glaring sign I just noticed -- if you look at the YouTube page for the ad, it says the video was added on September 11, 2008.

2. Didn't he also do some glad-handing of a crowd somewhere?

Did Obama do anything like this?

3. They both did the 9/11 memorial thing

and, I imagine, did some hand shakin' all around. I don't think he did a stump speech, or anything like that.
