If the puppies ad is so devastating, why was the audience on Crossfire laughing?

Is Crossfire still on TV?

Jeff,

Because, like Crossfire's hosts, they're a bunch of morons.

By the way, Jeff - the minute I saw Atrios and Willis calling them "puppies", I knew that's what you'd be calling it too...

Watch it, man---don't go suggesting that Bush is responsible for the Ashley's Story ad (other than the fact that it is based on something he did).

Otherwise you'll give them lefties ammo to say "SEE! I TOLD YOU THEY COORDINATE WITH THE 527's!"

(Of course, under their breath, they'll add the word "too" to the end of that sentence.)

One might suggest that if a political ad requires some serious thinking for it to be effective, it's not a good ad. Morons indeed.

Heh. Al Gore can't even spell his own name, or get his email address right. Moron.

Anyways Al, here's how it works. There are a lot of bad people out in the world who want to kill us because we like drinking beer, we like looking at fine looking women, and we like doing our praying in private. They think that by killing us they are saving our souls and that they'll get 72 virgins in the process. One man wants to stop them before they kill again. Another man wants to kill geese, go windsurfing, and vacation at one of his five mansions spread throughout the country while the local police department tries to figure out how to arrest a guy with a bomb, but can't because the guy looks Arabic, and the Arabic quota has been filled for the month.

Call me a moron Al, but at least I have a better chance of being alive in 4 years if Bush wins.
