Obama seeks to link Corsi, McCain

The Obama camp is pouncing on McCain's comment, in response to a question about Corsi's book, that you've "gotta keep your sense of humor."

....

The old John McCain used to boast about honorable politics, while the new John McCain finds Roveian smears funny. Honor is not a laughing matter. What does John McCain think is funny about an intolerant smear artist who called Pope John Paul II senile and claims the government lied about 9/11? McCain has said he wants to run an honorable campaign, but his belief that these smears are funny makes people question whether he now approves of the same reprehensible politics used to smear his own character eight years ago.

I'm not sure McCain was saying that the book was funny, as much as that you need to shrug off outlandish attacks. But in any case, he left himself open to a favored line of attack -- if one that didn't do John Kerry much good when he tried to link Bush to the Swift Boat Vets in 2004.
