George Will said Mehlman was "outraged" over RNC ad...

On This Week with George Stephanopoulos George Will said, about the racist ad in TN against Harold Ford, that Ken Mehlman was outraged but he had no control over that ad. Wasn't there a picture of Mehlman at the end of the ad with his voice saying the RNC is responsible for the content of the ad? And when he was on all the news shows he said he was fine with it and saw no racist overtones in it at all. But then he followed that by saying he had no ability to get the ad taken off the air. :eyes:

1. I believe it was an NRSC ad

In which case Mehlman's excuse does not hold water. If it was a 527, that would be something else.

5. OMG! They CHANGED IT!

It DID have a little pic of Mehlman and it was definitely a male voice and I'm almost 100% sure it was Mehlman!

7. I have...

I'm SURE of it. This is something they changed just so Mehlman's words didn't seem so outrageous about not having any control over the ad. It WAS a picture of Mehlman and it WAS a male voice that sounded just like his voice. And he IS the RNC chairman, isn't he?
