That's what newspapers and TV stations have called Mitch McConnell's attacks.

Now they've been given a new name: a McCON job. That's what he does to hide his record.

(Text on screen: The Courier-Journal; "A McCONnell Job"; August 9, 2008)

McConnell's been in Washington 24 years, raised millions in campaign cash for Big Oil, given them billions in tax breaks, and our energy problems keep getting worse.

Don't be McCONned again.
