Hosed

by Jon DeVore — Monday, 10/13/08, 11:33 am

Behold the most horrifying yet hilarious political advertisement ever produced.  (You think I exaggerate? Watch it. I dare you.) “Gushing record profits?” Bwhaaaaaaa.)

The ad is on behalf of ex-Congressman Jim Slattery of Kansas, who is challenging Republican incumbent Sen. Pat Roberts.

I have to confess, I don’t recall Slattery being the sort who would make an ad about this sort of thing. I mean, gasoline doesn’t exactly make it any less horrifying. Hope no Kansans were smoking cigarettes or anything.

(Props to, where else, Wonkette.)

    Fun ad. I wished Gregoire had the kind of competitive sense.
    FYI, I see Gregoire’s running an side banner ad on the site.

    LOL. It’s like a Benny Hill routine.

    Now there’s something I’ve never seen in political ads before. Brave new world.

    The beginning implication of urinating was totally awesome.

    Funniest ad yet.

    I was so waiting for the big guy to light up a cigarette, Altria with its ties to Exxon/Mobil.
