The Democratic National Committee is canceling a television ad touting GOP support for health care reform after protests from one of the Republicans mentioned, former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole.Bob Dole has not been a force in the GOP since he lost in 1996. His influence on other Republicans on this issue will be pretty much nil, but since he's still technically a Republican the White House can use his name to flaunt their "bipartisanship".

Dole told ABC News on Sunday that he objected to the ad’s criticism of the current Republican leadership.
“I just didn’t think it was fair, when I’ve tried to be helpful in encouraging a bipartisan solution, for the DNC to run an ad that I interpreted and I know others did as a backhanded comment about Republicans,” Dole said.
It's all smoke and mirrors.
