How 2 Guys Running For President Paid Off NBC With $11 Million
And gave China their stamp of approval
 

Who said John McCain is letting Barack Obama steer the election news cycle? Fine, everybody, but this latest bit of news out of the McCain campaign shows a certain Republican can administer some agenda setting of his own: McCain will spend $6 million on television advertising during the Olympics. Put another way, McCain will foot 0.67 percent of NBC's $894 million payment to broadcast the Olympics. Of course, this announcement comes after Obama already announced he'd be spending $5 million during the Olympics, so McCain is, um, once again letting Obama set the election news cycle. And then trying to one-up him. Of course, this represents both candidates tacitly endorsing the Olympics, NBC's decision to broadcast it, and China's horrendous civil rights record.
