Does anyone at CBS have a backbone? It seems that they react to whatever wind is blowing the strongest. This time around it's an ad about Medicare -- produced with public money -- that may not be completely accurate. Alert the frigging media -- a commercial that's not accurate? Oh the horror of it all.

Or so I was thinking until I get to the very last paragraph of the AP story. According to it, the 30-second spot was created by National Media Inc. of Alexandria, VA (my former hometown) -- the same firm that's producing ads for the Bush-Cheney re-election effort. So I'm not as outraged at CBS -- they've probably done the right thing. There's no question in my mind though that the Medicare ad is really a Bush re-election ad in sheep's clothing.
