The General Petraeus Ad... Proof that politics is even more corrupt than advertising!

If you need proof that advertising works, but not always in the ways you expect, the news yesterday that US Senate has voted to condemn an advertisement attacking the country's top commander in Iraq as he gave key testimony on military progress there, is living proof. The ad, in the New York Times by anti-war group MoveOn.Org, sparked controversy by referring to Gen David Petraeus as "General betray us". President Bush accused Democrats of being afraid to stand up to the group over the "disgusting" ad, conveniently forgetting the number of time the Republicans have run slime ads against Democrats, from “Willie Horton” to accusing McCain of having an illegitimate black daughter. The most disgusting news is that The Senate voted by 72 to 25 to approve the Republican-sponsored bill to "strongly condemn personal attacks" on Gen Petraeus and US armed forces. Which means 25 Democrats voted for this joke, rather than concentrate on doing what 75% of the American public want… To get us out of Iraq. No wonder politicians are held in even more contempt than advertising people.

That is tough issue. I can see both sides of it.
