And they say politicians are hypocrites. Pshaw!

Hey, remember when the National Republican Congressional Committee got all hot under the collar when the Democrats released a campaign ad featuring flag-draped coffins?  Well, the NRCC just released a campaign ad featuring, you guessed it, flag-draped coffins.  But wait -- it’s okay when they do it, you see, because they’re just trying to show that it’s wrong to work with people who put flag-draped coffins in political ads.
