Here’s a new thing from MoveOn.Org, which links vaguely troubled North Carolina Senator Elizabeth Dole to that bastard John McCain, who is leading in North Carolina. They give money to oil companies! And in case someone saying “in the pocket of Big Oil” is not stark enough of an image, this ad actually shows a man in a suit whose tie says “Big Oil” carrying photographs of each John McCain and Liddy Dole in his hanky pocket. The image would’ve been much stronger (and more adorable!) if it was an actual Fat Cat wearing the suit. [YouTube via The Plank]

As a corporate lawyer, I tried to get them to print “HEARTLESS BASTARD” on my ties. Unfortunately, that was too many letters so now they say “ARTLESS TARD” instead.

Dole and MkKain — definitely time to retire these names to the History Books

Seriously, MoveOn. I’d feel a lot better if you guys told me you smoked my donation.

ABitOfACommunist August 19, 2008 at 4:05 pm

$2.23 gas? Did Moveon recycle a 2000 ad?

NoWireHangers August 19, 2008 at 4:05 pm

Oil men are actually made of oil.

[re=63299]SuperRounder[/re]: What? No…. no no no. You just said you gave money to MoveOn? Oh JEEBUS no. Please Gawd save us all.

An Oil-Man is more desireable than some Grease-Man from New Joisey.

So how much would you have to donate to get them to go away until November? Really, it’s not like the Obama campaign can’t afford to pay them off.

Arrrgh that damn Oil Man.

[re=63305]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: Yeah, like you didn’t do something retarded in the 90s. Some people grew those douchetastic Fred Durst goatees, I dropped $20 on MoveOn. Considering that some people facing the same moment of weakness now have a tribal armband to look at for the rest of their lives, I think I came out pretty good.

…ok, ok, ok the whole tie with “big oil” was a bit retarded. But then again the only people that vote for Republicans are partially brain damaged so there is no such thing as dumbing it down too much!

I want kitties!

Add your own caption: “So, uh, do you get barbecue on this thing?”

Considering this video was made in the mid-90′s, I’d also say you got off a little better then the ribbons, flag pins and magnets that are slowly clogging the landfills of ‘merica.

[re=63296]Tybalt[/re]: FTW
And why’s MoveOn gotta beat up on Liddy? She’s got enough of that already, what with Bob’s ancient, decrepit, Viagra’ed member always slapping her awake in the morning.

My goodness, I am losing my snark. So far,I kind of like this ad, and I’ve liked a couple from the DNC as well (the DHL ad stands out). I see a strategy emerging. We nip around his ankles with snarky comments, jokes about his age, his cunt/trollop pill-popping wife and his willingness to offer her up to beer swilling bikers as a sex toy,his crappy piloting skills, Czechoslovakia, stuff like that, while Moveon.Org and the DNC whack them across the knees and kick them in the groin. O.K., maybe this ad isn’t quite as good as that, but it’s getting there, it’s well above the campaigns of Democrats past. Hopefully, they can find a way to force his nose into the shitpile that has been the Bush years.

Meanwhile, may I humbly request that you find some lame excuse to recycle those Bush drunk at the Olympics photos?

[re=63316]SuperRounder[/re]: At least tattoo artists don’t spam you all day, every day like MoveOn does…

MrAgro August 19, 2008 at 4:30 pm

Why are all political ads made with Windows Movie Maker?

SuperRounder August 19, 2008 at 4:31 pm

[re=63328]NotNotLickingToads[/re]: You’re right. They spam your ass once. An email you can delete.

grendel August 19, 2008 at 4:31 pm

[re=63324]BobLoblawLawBlog[/re]: That was totally uncalled for… I think I need to go wash my eyes out with bleach..

Johnetic August 19, 2008 at 4:42 pm

Liddy is getting the shit kicked out of her by other ads here in NC. One showing that she was the 93rd most effective senator. It’s sort of like saying she’s the 93rd most effective third male nipple.

capitol-hillbilly August 19, 2008 at 4:58 pm

idiots.

kellygrrrl August 19, 2008 at 5:32 pm

[re=63317]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: bingo! in fact, dumbing it down would probs be the only way to get ReThug voters to swing Hopey this year
