...And this time from a liberal! American politics urgently needs more coverage from a psychological perspective, since it's all ultimately psychology anyway, but I'm not sure this, from a senior fellow at Media Matters discussing the McCain campaign's "tyre-gauge" mockery of Obama, quite fits the bill:
"The message couldn't be plainer: See that itty-bitty, little tire gauge? If you vote for Obama, that's how big your penis is. If you vote for McCain, on the other hand, your penis is as big as this rig, thrusting its gigantic shaft in and out of the ground! Real men think keeping your tires inflated is for weenies."
Sometimes, a bizarre reading of the subtext of campaign ads is just a bizarre reading of the subtext of campaign ads... [American Prospect]
