Up until yesterday, I think my favorite political ad was this gem from when Mike and I were in North Carolina. Not sure why I loved it so much. Maybe it's the mischievous music and the mention of ED drugs. Maybe it's because I chuckle every time I think what it was like in the campaign war room when this ad was presented for his legally required approval. It's probably as simple as pigs in people clothing are just funny to me. For whatever the reason, Wasteful Walter Dalton has become the patron saint of scapegoats between Mike and I.
But now, there's a new contender to the throne... Carly Fiorina's demon sheep ad. While you can sort of understand the ad above being a little loony because it was for Lt. Governor in North Carolina, this one is for Senator of the most populous state in the country. Instead of an animal in people clothing, it involves a person in animal's clothes (there's a theme developing here). It's added another imaginary specter for the Republican party to deride, along with socialist takeovers, the possibility of Obama starting a nazi-like dictatorship, and government run health-care (but don't take away their gov't run Medicare), the terrifying Fiscal Conservative in Name Only, or the FCINOs. Eep. It's even spawned this Chuck Norris-like twitter account which is pretty funny. Here's the ad, enjoy it - if you're short on time skip through the first 2/3.
