Hey look it’s wacky Terry McAuliffe’s first ad for governor of Virginia, the first of the 2009 season! It aired during the Super Bowl in select Virginia markets (“Hell”). Basically he tells Virginia that if he wins, then Hillary Clinton will stage a big primary comeback in Puerto Rico and we’ll all get wasted. [Terry McAuliffe, Washington Post]

Wait, I thought Terry McAuliffe was officiating the super bowl?

Serolf Divad February 2, 2009 at 4:21 pm

But can he win in real Virginia?

God, I do not believe in you, but if I did, and you existed and were a really pissy Old Testament god, I would be praying to you to smite this sinner multiple times until he was a smoking pile of ash. If he wins Virginia, I will take that as proof that the evil Satan does exist, so how about stepping up here and proving me wrong?

“It just goes to show the best ideas don’t always come out of Richmond.”

Can’t….stop…..laughing…..help….

I didn’t see it from my elitist condo in Arlington. Feh!

Chad Sexington February 2, 2009 at 4:30 pm

“Jaaabs.” Is he running for Governor of the Carrier Dome?

tehbenton February 2, 2009 at 4:30 pm

Yeah, it aired here. (I live in Chesapeake.) I’m sure he’ll do for my state what he did so skillfully for the Democratic party: Run it straight into the fucking ground to the clink of empty Dewar’s bottles.

I have a sinking feeling that Bob McDonnell is going to be our next gubner. (To be fair, though, as far as Repugnicans go, he’s far from the worst of the lot.)

[re=234281]SayItWithWookies[/re]: I know, I know. Also: “Keep our carriers here in Virgina where they belong.” Shouldn’t that be: keep our carriers out in the war zone where the trillions we spend on them might generate some useful outcomes instead of pork-enriched jobs for bloated contractors”?

I’ve never seen anyone’s nostrils scream for cocaine before.

McAuliffe reminds me of my wacky Uncle Joe, mostly because he is also constantly drunk and on coke.

Cicada February 2, 2009 at 4:40 pm

I hope he sticks with the strategy that worked so well for Hilz during the primaries. I want to see Terry in overalls downing a shot of Crown Royal while shooting a deer!

Watchreader February 2, 2009 at 4:42 pm

oh oh! And I can sign up for updates! That way I can be the FIRST to know about Terry McAuliffe!

I was going to say something snarky to add onto this, but really there’s nothing more I can do to denigrate this thought.

I thought Mika’s boobs looked bigger this morning, maybe it was the sweater.

Darling, stop wearing the boots, makes you like you have chicken legs.

WadISay February 2, 2009 at 5:05 pm

I will keep our carriers in Hampton Roads, where they belong.

Compared to sending them to attack some third world satrapy, that’s not a bad idea.

titsmcgee February 2, 2009 at 5:09 pm

Too bad we’re going to have to burn Doumar’s into the ground now to get out the rum smell. Them Strawberry Ringoes was good eatin’.

You know, I’m from Buffalo, and my wife claims that while I don’t have the accent, every trip to see my family is for her a living hell of people saying things like “jaaaaahhhbs.” I don’t hear it there, but I do in this ad, which must indicate that Terry McAuliffe has the WORST UPSTATE NEW YORK ACCENT IN HUMAN HISTORY.

lazynamepicker February 2, 2009 at 5:14 pm

Even if he had all the greatest ideas in the world, he can’t change the fact that he’s a douche.

pat robertsons personal trainer February 2, 2009 at 5:30 pm

A $3M super bowl ad? that’s the kind of brilliant strategy that won hillary the nomination (of the states that counted if the dems had the same system as the walnuts/dimwit party). PUMA. also.

assistant/atlas February 2, 2009 at 5:41 pm

Wow…they were able to edit out all of the shots where he took a swig from his flask and put a 30-second ad together? If there was a political Oscars, the makers of this video should win for Best Editing to Make a Drunk F-up Look Respectable.

Also…at least Sarah Palin’s accent is amusing. Terry’s just makes me want to tear bits of flesh from my body.

Guppy06 February 2, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Pirates and Persians in the Indian Ocean, radioactive Chinese submarines in the Pacific, Putin and Canadians in the Arctic, but we need to keep our carriers on the Atlantic coast, to protect us from… I dunno, the Swiss Armada?

[re=234429]Guppy06[/re]: That’s the word in Virginia: the posture ridiculous, the expense damnable.

Eviland Woe (of course).

Gregory_of_Nazianzus February 2, 2009 at 8:13 pm

Please tell me I’m not the only amused that texting Terry McAuliffe on your iPhone is supposed to win over Hampton Roads.

iaro February 2, 2009 at 9:25 pm

Oh, Terry, Terry, Terry. I love you, buddy, but DAMN, you have the most obvious Yankee accent EVER. Jaaahbs. :)
(Speaking as a Georgian, I don’t know why Virginians regard themselves as Southerners when they have snow that actually sticks, but they refer to themselves as such, so what the hell.)

[re=234429]Guppy06[/re]: To protect the shipping lanes from pirates. When the fisherman can no longer sell their fish because the hobos can’t afford them, they’ll turn to piracy.

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahbs, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHBS

mattym February 3, 2009 at 7:17 am

Uhh…

How can the governor of a state decide where Aircraft Carriers are stationed?

Like, if we go to war with China…
