It was bad enough that John McCain blatantly lied about Obama's canceling of a visit to see wounded troops in Germany. But now we find out he was going to get hit with an attack even if he did visit the troops:

What the McCain campaign doesn’t want people to know, according to one GOP strategist I spoke with over the weekend, is that they had an ad script ready to go if Obama had visited the wounded troops saying that Obama was...wait for it...using wounded troops as campaign props. So, no matter which way Obama turned, McCain had an Obama bashing ad ready to launch. I guess that’s political hardball. But another word for it is the one word that most politicians are loathe to use about their opponents—a lie.

The Rovians are now in charge of the McCain campaign. The once-honorable senator who suffered at the hands of these slime artists in 2000 has now sold his soul to the same detestable people. It's clear his ego is overriding any sense of principle or honor.
