Gee, thanks, campaign reformers

In battleground states and on cable TV “the airwaves are choked with campaign ads that are hysterically conceived and factually deceptive — much worse, if such a thing is possible, than the ads that tortured the electorate in the pre-McCain-Feingold era. And most of them — note the irony — are paid for by fat cats. The irony, of course, is lost on supporters of McCain-Feingold, who continue to insist the reform has been a success.” (Andrew Ferguson, “Soros Might Not Be What Reformers Had in Mind”, Bloomberg News, Nov. 2).
