Deep-thinkin’ Mexican tort-reformin’ bidnessman Tim James, candidate for Alabama governor, has released the latest installment in his “wander ’round the mansion lookin’ pensive ‘n’ shit” series of advertisements. This one’s called “Sex Offenders” and opens with our hero, top shirt button undone and tie loosened for the first time, clutching his terrified wife and saying, [...]
Here’s some dingbat, hoping to challenge Alan Grayson in Florida, with his heroic ad supporting racial profiling of A-rabs, for airplanes.
Okay, one more. Tim James has another ad. Same dramatic pauses. Same wandering all over the damn place. Tim James is a national treasure and should be put in a time capsule. It makes sense to us.
You may have seen this already, but it is the funniest 30-second spot of the year so far. Tim James, candidate for Alabama governor, is all hot and bothered about them taco-eaters and such like reading in that taco-talk when they get their driver’s licenses at the taco shop. :21 through :27 deserves a Best [...]
It’s tough to figure out the message Sen. Michael Bennet is trying to get across in this new ad. As far as we can tell, there are two equally legitimate options: either his young children are well-respected economic and political titans with lengthy, important publishing records which give undeniable weight to their endorsements, or — [...]
A massive Battle for the Ages is quickly developing in the Arkansas democratic primary for Senate, where Serious Centrist Blanche Lincoln now has a legitimate primary challenger in Lt. Gov. Bill Halter. Halter is getting billions, if not millions, from the so-called Internet communists The Netroots, who hate ladies.
Some person who “knows stuff like this” breaks down Carly Fiorina’s Laser-eyed Sheep Furry Of Death From Hell comedy film for FishbowlLA: “Wow…they did shoot all of that sheep stuff. It wasn’t stock footage. Paid crew for the sheep stuff and an editor for two days worth of cutting that stuff, titling, paid crew, equipment [...]
OH MY GOD “Carlyfornia” Senate candidate Carly Fiorina has struck again on the Internet and the results are monstrous. It’s best at the beginning and end, especially the end, picking up steam at exactly 2:26. “2:26″ is the absolute most terrifying second of video on YouTube since the most recently uploaded clip of Roger Ailes. [...]
Yikes! How dare he overlay this lovely Legend of Zelda soundtrack with such vile language. RIDICULOUSLY UNAFFORDABLE IDEAS. Ha, if WALNUTS! here ever brings back “th-th-that’s not ch-change we can b-b-b-believe in,” then… well then that would just be funny. [YouTube]
Your other editor Sara wrote earlier about how every governor candidate in Virginia has taken a shine to this hilarious & false idea that prison officials closely monitor third-grade test scores to determine how many jails they’ll need for the Dumbs in 15 years. But only Terry McAuliffe went ahead and made it into an [...]
Oh dear, poor Chuckles. His Senate challenger, Wingnut #A, has already thrown together his first secretly-has-gay-overtones attack ad against the orange governor, who is shown “embracing” Barack Obama, intimately, maybe with his mouth. Or are we reading into this too much? Obviously! But still, OY. Being secretly gay will not make this a fun year-long [...]
“September 11, 2001,” this infamous NRCC ad displays immediately. “It was a national tragedy.” And then, of course, it proceeds to exploit that fact for political gain in the New York 20th District, where Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco are fighting for Sen. Kirsten “Caroline Kennedy” Gillibrand’s old House seat, with a special [...]
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 [...]
Politics magazine will release the results of their “2008 campaign poll of political insiders” this Thursday, but we already know the winner of one category: best ad of the presidential race. It is Hillary Clinton’s “3 a.m.” ad, the one about how Hillary Clinton was the only person who could answer a telephone at night [...]
