McCrash Ad already says "McCain wins the Debate", even before he has said he flipflop and join again

4. It's strange, but that image is *on the WSJ website.*

Just delete the file name and containing directory in the URL ("/images/26Sep_Friday_WSJ.JPG") and you'll find yourself looking at a current WSJ page.

If this is a fake, they found a pretty darned sneaky way of planting it on the WSJ website and keeping it there. Pretty unlikely.

It's odd that the paper would post screen images of its web pages, but it might be one of those automated archival things that someone happened to catch -- that's what the Washington Post article made it sound like.

5. Huh.
You mean there aren't actual physical English alphabet letters floating just below John McCain's face that reads "John McCain wins debate" like some sort of Sesame Street sketch?

You don't say!

12. The Washington Post made a screen capture of the WSJ page with the ad. No Photoshop.
