New Ad Slams McCain For "Bomb Iran" Song

By Greg Sargent

That was quick. A day after John McCain was pilloried for singing about bombing Iran to the tune of a Beach Boys song, a new TV ad attacking him for the gaffe has already been cut and is ready to go up on the air.

The new ad -- which was paid for by MoveOn and will air next week in early GOP primary states -- shows video of McCain's song (McCain's Swan Song?) and concludes: "John McCain? We can't afford another reckless President."

We're trying to get a bit more info on the size of the buy and which states it's running in. We'll let you know what we find.

"It comes as no surprise that America’s most liberal interest group would attack John McCain's belief that we cannot allow Iran to destroy Israel," said spokesman Matt David. “After all, MoveOn.org posted ads comparing President Bush to Hitler during the last presidential election."
