New MoveOn TV Ad Uses Clarke quote

[newsguyatl]

ANNCR: George Bush shamelessly exploited 9/11 in his campaign commercials. Now his own counter-terrorism expert, a man who has worked for every president since Ronald Reagan says, "Frankly, I find it outrageous that a president is running for re-election on the grounds that he'd done such great things on terrorism. He ignored terrorism for months, when maybe we could have done something to stop 9/11.” George Bush. A failure of leadership.

The ad is slated to air nationally on CNN next week in a $200,000 buy. MoveOn says they will likely expand the buy later.

1. Excellent.

This should be considered a start and a test, if you will. Much more hard-hitting ads are possible. It's good too that this is not the Democratic Party but an independent group.

2. Maybe they should have waited

and done a montage of Clarke soundbytes. There are a bunch of them after today. :)

4. They should have plenty from the hearings today

and many more ads. There's a long time until November.

7. heh! I used "shamelessly pimped" in an ad the other day...

"exploited" I suppose is more tactful:
