Rich Proctor over at Counterpunch has taken the liberty of writing a television spot for the Dems to use against the smirking chimp in next years election campaign. Rich used to do this for a living, and has 11 Clio Awards to prove it.

SPOT #1 -- OPEN with black-and white slo-mo footage of Bush on the deck of the aircraft carrier, giving that fatuous "thumbs-up."

Anncr--Lucky thing George was a passenger when he landed on that carrier. You see, George lost his flight status back in his National Guard days when he wouldn1t take a drug test. That was before he went AWOLS

FREEZE ON GEORGE--ZOOM IN ON FACE--CHYRON AWOL OVER FACE

ANNCR--That's right, AWOL from his military duty in time of war. Seems to be a habit for George.

CUT TO IMAGE OF UNEMPLOYMENT LINE

ANNCR--He's AWOL in the fight for American jobs--his administration has lost over two million in four years, the most since the Hoover AdministrationS.

CUT TO IMAGE OF OSAMA BIN LADEN

ANNCR--He's AWOL in the search for Osama bin Laden. Said he'd get him dead or alive, but then guess he just lost interest.

CUT TO EMPTY FILE FOLDER MARKED "9-11 INVESTIGATION"

ANNCR -- just like he lost interest in investigating what really happened on 9-11. Starved the investigators of money, and then stonewalled them.

CUT TO "LAZY E" ENRON LOGO

ANNCR--And he's AWOL in the fight to demand integrity from American businesses. Of course, how can he slap handcuffs on the folks who paid to put him in the White House?

BACK ON BUSH IN RIDICULOUS "TOP GUN" GARB

ANNCR--Bush has been grounded for 32 years, and AWOL for 30. Isn't it about time America had a President interested in serving his country?

SUPER UP "ANYBODY BUT BUSH 04"

I hereby donate this ad copy, or any variation of it, to any candidate that has the guts to run it. Unlike the Willie Horton ad that Bush's father used on Dukakis, this one is nothing but the truth. George is asking for it. He "jumped the shark" when he put on that zoom bag. So let's give it to him.


I LOVE it! I would add a DISSOLVE TO FACE OF A CHIMP somewhere in that ad, but that's just me.
