I finally made myself sit through the Bush ad
with the 9/11 images :puke:

One thing struck me, have you every seen a political ad that, besides the usual disclaimer about "paid for" also said "approved by"? This one said "approve by President Bush" and underneath came the paid for line.

I only hope this approved by ---- makes people even more disgusted with it.

5. Those of us who watched "Hardball" with Chris Matthews last week
Those of us who watched "Hardball" with Chris Matthews last week, not only saw a bunch of Bush tv-ads in their entirety, but also Chris Matthews gushing over how "brilliant" they are.

Chris Matthews voted for Bush in 2000.

2. All the candidates are now
required to state that at the end of all of their ads.
That way he can take all the credit for that shameless POS he's put on TV.

4. all the candidate ads now have to say "approved by"
It is part of the new law. I think it is a good idea. It might have prevented the Willie Horton ad fom running in '88.

I think the Bush 9/11 ad will backfire. Showing pictures of coffins is sick.
