A number of diaries have touched on this, that Senator John MaCain has lost, misplaced or just outright gave up on his honor. He is no longer the "Honorable" person he once was. Between the ads that tout lies about Obama, his lies about Sara Palin's background and experience, and the outright lies about himself, he has no honor left to speak of.
What I see is an ad that uses all of the deceitful practices that John McCain has employed throughout his campaign, and then adds a variation of those immortal words from Marc Anthoney (in William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar) "But John McCain is an Honorable Man"
Would that I had the writing skills to do it justice. I have hopes that someone with a better grasp of how to bend the lies of McCain into those acts by Brutus, and then bring clarity to the use of "But John McCain is an Honorable Man"
I'll start it off with this:
Friends, Americans, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to support Obama, not to praise him.
The noble McCain
Hath told you Obama was ambitious:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Obama answered it.
Here, under leave of McCain and the rest--
For McCain is an honorable man;
So are they all, all honorable men—
Come I to speak as Obama’s surrogate.
He is our nomine, gracious and just to McCain:
But McCain says he was ambitious;
And McCain is an honorable man.
He hath brought many donations home from Americans;
Whose ransoms did the campaign coffers fill:
Did this in Obama seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Obama hath wept:
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet McCain says he was ambitious;
And McCain is an honorable man.
You all did see that on the You-Tube
Obama visiting everyman: was this ambition?
Yet McCain says he was ambitious;
And, sure, McCain is an honorable man.
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And Fox News have lost their reason. Bear with me;
My heart is in the polls there with Obama,
And I must pause till it come back to me.
But yesterday the word of McCain might
Have stood against the world; now he lies.
And none so poor to do him reverence.
O citizens, if I were disposed to stir
Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage,
I should do McCain wrong, and Palin wrong,
Who, you all know, are honorable mavericks:
I will not do them wrong; I rather choose
To wrong the lies, the deceits and the lobbyists,
Than I will wrong such honorable folks.

Please have fun with this,
For John McCain is an Honorable Man...
