HEIL!….Ann Althouse comments on a video at John McCain’s website:

The music is over-the-top….It announces the intent to manipulate you emotionally. That makes it a less effective effort at manipulation, though. I don’t think Leni Riefenstahl would have done something so crude.

So McCain’s big failing is that his campaign propaganda isn’t quite as subtle as Triumph of the Will? Ouch.
