Cool!


Bush presidency: FIERY WRECK!


I like that "And so do we!" thing he does. Did Lamont invent that?


but...but...but I though Joe was Bush's Favorite Democrat™!


GravatarI like the context!
Any way to expand it to other Hatfield-McCoy like groups?


GravatarTurncoat. How appropriate. And funny.

I like his ads.


GravatarThe fact that the ad works proves that the anti-Semitic internets are conspiring against Lieberman.


Gravatarnot sure i like it so much. i would be more specific about things Joe does that are bad.


GravatarC'est excellent.


GravatarNice, but no boobs.


GravatarEXCELLENT!!!Love his ads.


GravatarYou should check out the radio ads, too.


GravatarIt would have been funnier if the two fans were sitting on Lieberman--in a "sitting on Lieberman" kind of way.

Go Ned!

GravatarHmmmm. Much better than the Granholm/DeVos being slammed at Michigeese and Michiganders day in and day out.


GravatarI like that "And so do we!" thing he does. Did Lamont invent that?

He may have stolen it from the Shake-N-Bake people, but the truth is lost to history.


Gravatar Nice, but no boobs.

The next ad will feature Lieberman.


GravatarAn ad that truly unites people of all stripes.


GravatarHow much did he pay res for the "blah, blah, blah?"

She does have that copyrighted, doesn't she?


GravatarI bet Joe wishes he and Bush had followed the "no flirting!" rule...


GravatarHello, I'm Dick Devos, and this is me trying to smile.


GravatarIf I may, Michigan is kicking Notre Dame's ass.


GravatarJoe Must Go!!!


GravatarIf I may, Michigan is kicking Notre Dame's ass.


Quite good, quite good.

Although my ND friends will be crushed, it is time that Michigan steps up and gits 'er dunn.


GravatarHe may have stolen it from the Shake-N-Bake people, but the truth is lost to history.

And I heh-ped!


GravatarShake and Bake was "And I helped!" driftglass, you silly thing.


GravatarTime to get dressed. See y'all moonbats on the morrow.


GravatarA vote for the GOP is a vote for nuclear war.

GravatarLegislation supporting Bush would subject members of Congress to war crimes prosecution.
http://www.dailykos.com/storyonl...9/16/101733/ 273

Jordan Paust, Professor of Law at the University of Houston warns Congress that to write legislation that tampers with due process rights of prisoners would subject members of Congress itself to a violation of the Hague Convention, which is itself a war crime.

Another provision of treaty-based laws of war that also reflects customary international law is quite relevant in this regard. It is set forth in Article 23(h) of the Annex to the 1907 Hague Convention No. IV Respecting the Laws and Customs of War on Land, which reads: "it is especially forbidden ... [t]o declare abolished, suspended, or inadmissible in a court of law the rights ... of the nationals of the hostile party." Similarly, as part of the law of war, a violation of the Hague Convention is a war crime.

Members of Congress are thus on notice that minimum due process guarantees under customary international law must not be denied when Congress attempts to articulate what forms of procedure a military commission should adopt. If members participate in a plan to do so or are complicit in the deprivation of minimum due process guarantees under customary international law incorporated by reference in common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions or any other rights or protections under common Article 3 (e.g., concerning the right to humane treatment even at the hands of CIA interrogators), they would be participating in the denial of rights, protections, and duties under Geneva law. Such denials are war crimes.


GravatarIts hot here. I may have to turn on the A/C.


GravatarImpressive...!

GravatarLanny Davis told me that ad was negative.
Okay he screamed, it but I think that just made his point more valid.


GravatarNeddy goes Neg!

UNfortunately for AMerica, it works, so you have to. Chafee proved that.

Where's a determined retarded boy when you need him?


GravatarI like that "And so do we!" thing he does. Did Lamont invent that?
res ipsa loquitur

Ed Perlmutter, a Colorado House candidate, has picked that up in his ads, his daughters say it after a "he's a great dad" ad, that is actually pretty good.


GravatarLanny Davis told me that ad was negative.
Okay he screamed, it but I think that just made his point more valid.
Paul, no not that one


I thought his problem was its blatent anti-semitism.


GravatarMichigan is kicking Notre Dame's ass.

huzzah for pre-season top 10 lists

GravatarOkay, not bad.

Ridicule is what lieberman deserves.


GravatarLee Siegel is so much more intelligent than this ad that you cannot understand how intelligent he is.

GravatarWhy is Michigan beating up on ND, when it is the Joe Lieberman of NCAA football?


GravatarI like that "And so do we!" thing he does. Did Lamont invent that?

Man, that is so annoying when they thank Allah after a touchdown...


GravatarExcellent ad! I think the "turncoat" meme is likely to be very potent against Lieberman -- everybody in CT (and NYC metro) instantly understands how it connects to Joe. It sort of crystallizes what many people know or suspect about Joe even if they haven't heard it articulated that bluntly yet.

One thing I love about Ned (aside from being right on all the most important issues of the day) is that he knows how to throw a punch.

Also, Joe's been whining about Ned's campaign being "negative" for so long (even when it clearly wasn't) that it's hard to see how he's going to differentiate his whining (you know it's coming) this time around.

Go Ned!

That's exactly why it's effective - it's not a "political ad."

Assuming it runs in rotation with other ads, they reinforce one another.


GravatarMan, that is so annoying when they thank Allah after a touchdown...

GravatarI wonder if Lindsay Graham is afraid to go to prison for some reason.... Ricky Santorum would get passed around for cigarettes, that's for sure


Gravatartbsa | 09.16.06 - 4:54 pm |

In which case what do you think of these movies that have become a genre in their own right trying to load up the backs of the developmentally disabled with Americana? Is it better than nothing?


Gravatarhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/ pol...ve_037619_2.htm
Three letters explain how former Clinton attack dog Lanny Davis scored an Air Force One ride to Washington after President Bush's recent Yale University commencement speech: DKE (Delta Kappa Epsilon), the fraternity Davis and Bush joined as Yale undergrads. The duo chatted for a long time on the ride home, mostly about the old days, like the time Bush hazed DKE recruit Davis. The lawyer tells us that he faced the normal five-hour hazing, ending with him standing beside a DKE brand shoved in a vat of hot coals. At this point, Bush and the others blindfolded Davis and asked him to lift his shirt. He did. Then Davis felt it: the hot sizzle of skin. But it was only a cigarette. "They really psyched me out," he says.


GravatarI loved Ann Arbor on MU game day... lots of good parking downtown, could get a coffee without waiting, go to Borders etc.


GravatarWhat, you didn't see that one movie that proved that unquestioning loyalty, aggressive physicality and stick-to-ittiveness are far more important than intellect?

Rocky 10.

The one where Preznit Rocky tracks the terrorists to Scotland, and they try to stop him with a wall.

"Hadrian!"


GravatarAssuming it runs in rotation with other ads, they reinforce one another.

Exactly. Variation is good. It's not like Ned only has enough money to spend on one type of ad.


GravatarThe one where Preznit Rocky tracks the terrorists to Scotland, and they try to stop him with a wall.

"Hadrian!"


Fuck you, that was funny.


Gravatar"They really psyched me out," he says.

You left out the "heh heh heh."


Gravatar Ricky Santorum would get passed around for cigarettes, that's for sure

Only if there were some really desparate inmates.


GravatarI'm thinking either Rod McKuen or Bert Bachrach?

What do we have for our winner, Johnny?

"It's a year's supply of Creamettes! Back to you, dave..."


GravatarYeah, Santorum must have at least three diseases by now.


GravatarThen Davis felt it: the hot sizzle of skin. But it was only a cigarette.

Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.


GravatarDiane has a post up at cabdrollerie.blogspot.com about the WATB-in-Chief.

For more general audiences, Kindergartener-in-Chief might a good substitute for WATB-in-Chief--but her piece says exactly what I've been thinking.

Can't do the torture-lite he wants? Little Kindergartener is going to take his balls and go home.

The press conference on 9/15/06 should go down in history as the day BushBoy stopped being anything remotely resembling Commander-in-Chief.

Two polls in the last two weeks have it within the margin of error, and I doubt all the Rebubs who now tell posters they're voting for JoMo (Shlessinger is consistently under ten per cent) will turn out for Lieberman. That said, complacency is still a bad thing


GravatarBut there are not enough Republicans in the state to give Joe the poll leads he has.

Latest poll is virtually a dead heat.


Gravatar...they would be participating in the denial of rights, protections, and duties under Geneva law. Such denials are war crimes.

GravatarHi all. I asked last night--has anyone heard from Incog? He's being more mysterious than usual, not responding, I hope he's not mad at me


GravatarI think the crowd behind Lamont needs to get bigger and bigger with each new spot until it's an overhead long shot of a huge crowd in a field...so many supporters behind him you can't even count them all!

GO NED!


Gravatarman, I heard that the first time, but Franken's contempt for Davis is even more obvious in the replay.

Just kidding. But seriously -- after the obvious ones, I vote "Sahara."


GravatarThere was a feature in Sterio Review where the theme was Ten Artists I Hate. Lester Bangs described Bowie as "singing like an electric eel in a microwave." Simels said something similar. There was anti-Bowie sentiment at the time, mid 70s.
