Obama Campaign: McCain 'Perverse'

I have really had about enough of John McCain and his creepy effing smile.

McCain released an ad yesterday that criticized Barack Obama for voting yes to a comprehensive sex education program that included "age appropriate" education for kindergartners. Setting aside the dubious wisdom of the McCain/Palin ticket lecturing anyone about sex education, McCain dishonestly, and creepiliy, implied in the ad that Obama favored going the full monty with toddlers, as opposed to its real purpose: teaching them things like "bad touch" and "stranger danger." From McClatchy:

As a state senator in Illinois, Obama did vote for but was not a sponsor of legislation dealing with sex ed for grades K-12. But the legislation allowed local school boards to teach "age-appropriate" sex education, not comprehensive lessons to kindergartners, and it gave schools the ability to warn young children about inappropriate touching and sexual predators.

The Obama campaign shot back a strong, wholly justified response:

"It is shameful and downright perverse for the McCain campaign to use a bill that was written to protect young children from sexual predators as a recycled and discredited political attack against a father of two young girls."

Joe Klein over at Time has his own way of putting the kibosh on the notion of an honorable McCain campaign. For my part, that idea was quashed when McCain hired Bud Day. This is low, but nothing you wouldn't expect from a candidate who wouldn't know shame if he were taught about it in kindergarten.
