Inhofe campaign ad suggests that Iraq is in Africa.

A new reelection ad released by Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) proclaims:

Ethiopia, Zambia, Iraq. 29 intense trips in 12 years to the front — to the saddest parts of Africa — to quietly get to know the leaders.

Spencer Ackerman at the Washington Independent reports the obvious (but not to all) kicker: “IRAQ IS NOT IN AFRICA.” Watch it:

The halting and stilted campaign ad ends bizarrely with a question: “Jim Inhofe did that?” An oddly-appropriate question.

Update

HuffPost’s Jason Linkins notes that the Inhofe ad is called “Africa.”
