Media Bloodhound detected it when Mitchell was discussing Obama's “remarkably negative ad” that featured McCain, in his own words, acknowledging how he had voted with President Bush “over 90 percent of the time.”

Here was the full exchange on NBC. See if you can spot the obvious problems:

Tom Brokaw: Can they continue to tag John McCain with George Bush?

Mitchell: They can, and, in fact, they're doing it with a remarkably negative ad. I mean, we talk a lot about the negativity on the Republican side. But the fact is that Barack Obama has so much more money, and some of these targeted ads, one that they unveiled on Thursday and Friday of this week and it's on national television, has John McCain in his own words saying, in another interview, in another context, “I voted, I supported George Bush 90 percent of the time.” So they've got him on videotape. And the fact is, that this ad is running and running and running. ...Yes, the robocalls are reaching hundreds of thousands of people, the negative robotic calls from the Republican side. But these ads are reaching millions and millions of people."

Asks the Bloodhound, “What planet is Mitchell on?”
