Out of context?

The Republican National Committee has a new found respect for context. So much so they have gone to court to stop a DNC commercial featuring McCain's famous "100 years" comment. Despite the fact that the spot uses video of McCain making the statement, the RNC claims that the ad is false because it takes McCains words out of context.

This is a new concern for Republicans who didn't feel compelled to explain Kerry's insipid "I voted for it before I voted against it" comment which they ran into the ground at the tail of a Bush campaign spot. 

If you say something stupid, you have to deal with the effect. Kerry found that out. Obama got the message with his "bitter" comment. Now McCain is learning it.

To paraphrase Colin Powell, 'you said it, you own it.'
