Here’s a new ad from Republican Oregon Sen. Gordon Smith, who faces a tough re-election bid this year against Jeff Merkley, the bore who barely defeated that awesome little pirate hobbit in May’s Democratic primary. Smith’s ad here is the latest of his to compare himself to — gasp — Barack Obama and John Kerry! Is Oregon really so liberal that a Republican has to pretend he’s friends with two gay socialists? Anyway, this video is mostly funny because Smith never looks into the camera, and sometimes looks down, and everyone feels awkward. [YouTube]

Wait… it’s not about who gets the credit???? I thought that was exactly the problem with our economy right now, who is or is not getting teh credit.
Skinny elitist.
Nice to see that the GOP finally has the balls to film an ad in a bathhouse.
Someone must have called Central Casting for a ‘generic bullshitting politico.’
And what about the hair helmet? Move that hairline a little lower, m-kay?
Enturbulator: Looks like he borrowed it from Rick Perry.
Whoa, it’s like he’s asking them out on a date. Add a little bit of foot shuffling and it’ll be perfect.
“I’m Gordon and I think Medicare is totez awesome and I’ve been like voting for liberal shit for years, which is why I am so Republican. This is why I am the best, ever! I will vote along party lines but you shall never know because I am hidden in some liberal looking tree in a red wood somewhere trying to compensate for my loss of pride.”
I’m shortsshortsshorts and I disapprove of this douchebag.
I’m telling you, he’s a young Larry Craig. And not just the Mormon thing either… Pendleton is basically Idaho.
Burlap sack is the new– wait, what was the old burlap sack?
…what, no Paris or Britney?
…a white guy giving a black guy the political equivalent of a sloppy, dripping, deep throat blow job?! Bob Allen is that you?!
So many people are reaching across the I’ll.
But can he open a beer with a prosthetic hand?
Enturbulator: The head nodding/shaking is like bad acting.
RuperttheBear: The rehearsed fake sincerity is bad acting. In fact his performance displays a complete and magnificent array of day-player, hack, non-union skilz.
Oh I don’t know…he seems kind of sincere. And his white teeth look like they’re talking to me all by themselves….is it 5 o’clock yet?
Where the hell is his flag pin?
And by the way, using terms like “helping people” and “reach across the aisle” and “Barack Obama” doesn’t mean you still don’t come off as a giant douche.
Closet Republicans: it means two things now!
Why is he protecting Homo Nurse?
