Bush has a new attack ad out, already dubbed the "Muhammed Horton" ad, since it features a swarthy-looking individual that is supposed, I guess, to be a terrorist. Here is a very funny send-up of the ad, at least until the last image. I can appreciate the point behind the image, but I think it goes a bit too far.

One more thing: In the New Republic item linked above, Ryan Lizza refers to the ad as the "so-called 'Muhammed Horton' ad". Pet peeve of mine: isn't it redundant to refer to something as "so-called" and put quotation marks around it?
