Arizona Senate Democratic Candidate Carmona's Ad: Irks Republicans



A new advertisement by the Democratic Senate candidate Richard Carmona elicited a sharp response on Friday from the two men who star in it: Arizona’s Republican senators, John McCain and Jon Kyl.

The advertisement seemed almost designed to enrage the Republicans, by using their own words and images to bolster Mr. Carmona’s candidacy. It uses footage of Mr. Carmona’s 2002 confirmation hearing to become President George W. Bush‘s surgeon general. Mr. McCain testifies, “Dr. Carmona’s inspiring story is the living embodiment of the American dream.”

Mr. Kyl, who is retiring and whose seat Mr. Carmona hopes to fill, adds: “One might call him a man for all seasons. His unique background will serve him well and serve us well.”

And I love kyl and mccain's whining that, "yeah we said it; but to take our words of support is no fair ... we said all those things when he was up for the Surgeon General spot, not the Senate!"
