ALWAYS Check the Log
So I'm listening to WTAG this morning, and Jim Polito is recounting his experiences being in New York on 9/11. He was just talking off the cuff, but it was pretty engaging stuff.
Jim then mentioned some of the memorials taking place throughout the day.
Jim mentioned that both the Obama and McCain Presidential campaigns had suspended their advertisements for 24 hours, with both camps noting that the day of observance was an inappropriate time to be politicking.
Jim added that he thought this was exactly the right type of thinking for the day.
Then he threw to a commercial break, and the very first spot that played was a campaign ad for this guy:
Mike Moore, Candidate for State Senate.
Now, I understand Moore is involved in a very contentious race against a guy named Doug Belanger, and there have been all sorts of accusations of underhanded politics on both sides, but the race is outside of my district. I have no opinion on either candidate, other than to say:
Nice timing, Mike.
