McCain Campaign Uses Craigslist

By Ed Brayton

The media seems not to have noticed this ad on Craigslist, which I suspect is from the McCain campaign:

Dignified older man seeks second-tier foreign leaders, ambassadors and has-been foreign policy wonks to meet with his young, comely apprentice and soulmate. Must be willing to engage in polite conversation with previously mentioned soulmate while being filmed and photographed. Absolutely no snickering allowed. Must also be willing to ignore questions and keep the content of all conversations private and confidential no matter how many times she mentions being able to see Russia from her breakfast nook. No freaks.

One would think that last item would have ruled out Henry Kissinger, but apparently not. The ad has now been pulled, apparently because it's already been answered several times.
