CNN: Dems to "Dukakis" Bush with "Mission..." footage
They are supposedly going to flip this back on Bush and use it in campaign ads against Bush, to make him look like Duki in the tank!

This is SOOO cool!

3. And don't forget to mention he hasn't attended any funerals
or even held any ceremonies for the returning dead nor has he visited any in the hospital that I’m aware of.

5. He Did a Quickie Photo Op On 9/11
I remember CNN mentioning before he went to the Pentagon, he was supposedly goig to Walter Reed or some other DC area facility to "pay respects to injured soldiers". Whatever that is is up to your interpretation. There were no pictures of him inside, or with any injured GI. No other metion in other press or CNN either. Hmm...

The only military appearances our manchild makes is a strictly choreographed photo-op (banner included) at stateside military bases...always in front of fresh, young faces...definitely not the drawn and 50-yard stares that are now embarking from the planes at Dover and other facilities the American people won't be allowed to see...only have to take care of for the rest of their crippled lives.

This poor excuse for a Cod Piece has used the military in such a disgraceful and destructive way. How much more will the military "regulars" take until there's a real revolt over how phony this regime and WhistleAss is.

But at least we know for certain what the term "Compassionate Conservative" really means now....Chickenshit!

6. Not a good idea
1) Dukakis looked rediculous in the tank.
2) As sickening as it was * looked good in the flight suit.
3) Unless you go all the way and mention the non-visitations etc. it's a loser and, as we all know, the DNC is too chicken-shit to attack properly.

7. I agree -- it has to be done properly, if at all
I'm a big fan of the tried-and-true "split-screen" approach, myself. We all know what one-half would feature -- the other half, depending on the candidate, could be them in a REAL uniform. Or maybe the other half could be video of various burning buildings and cars, wounded people, etc.

Or, in another ad, a snapshot of Boosh with the caption "Fake Soldier" followed by a snapshot of the candidate with the caption "Real Soldier" followed by a snapshot of Boosh with the caption "Fake President" followed by a snapshot of the candidate -- with no caption at all (set up the cadence; let the final conclusion draw itself).

I would imagine the DNC wouldn't want to be too closely associated with this because, yes, it IS an "attack" ad. Which is why I doubt I'll be hired by them anytime soon. I'm MUCH too willing to go for the jugular where that lying, smirking, steaming pile of bovine excrement is concerned. :grr:

8. It is all in the editing and production
The staged photo-op footage looked good. But there is miles of stuff not regularly seen by the general public because it is too boring or unflattering to Bush. Which is perfect for our needs...find a pic of W scratching his ass or picking his nose, add a grain and scratch filter to it, run it in black and white with some dreary music, or superimposed with those last pictures ever seen of flagged-draped coffins.

Have your people call my people...we'll hash something out and have this puppy in the can for the Sunday morning talk shows!

11. He spit his gum out on the floor of the Kremlin.
I remember reading that...wonder if there was a picture? I also recall him sitting at a roundtable with a group of leaders and his legs were splayed wide open, once again forcing us to notice his fake crotch. Yech.

And the ads should use a recording of his real bastardizing of the English language. If that's the way he speaks, that's what they should use.

10. he looked GOOD in the flight suit?
What?

Where do you get that idea from. He looked flat-out stupid. I don't know anyone who thought he looked like he belonged in that suit.

12. I didn't understand that either.
Even the old guy at the gym said he looked like he was in a costume and who did he think he was, Tom Cruise?

How can anyone say Dukakis looked funny in the tank, but not think Smirk looked absolutely hilarious in those goggles with his parachute straps still squeezing his fake manliness (while the other pilots had unbuckled theirs immediately)?
