Gas Station TV Strangely Not Interested In Anti-Oil Ad

Over at Politico, Ben Smith is reporting that Gas Station TV has refused an Obama ad attacking John McCain for being in the pocket of big oil (linked here).

Even more awkward for GSTV, they are claiming that they "don't take political ads" and the CEO is saying that he never approved the ad. In response, the Obama campaign said "oh really? well here's your emails saying you'll take the spot and that it was approved by the owners."

As Ben points out, this is certainly the sort of controversy that campaigns love.
