The Voiceover Wolf At Your Door…

By: Christy Hardin Smith Tuesday November 14, 2006 5:38 am

On November 3rd, just prior to the election, NPR ran a story on two of the biggest names in commercial voiceovers: Dennis Steele and Scott Sanders.  The piece is absolutely brilliant – they start with replays of some negative and positive ads from this political season.  But then, it gets really fun.
Let's just say that I'll never [...]

This

needs to go viral.  Send it to your friends, family, co-workers, people you like, people you don't like.  Every person in America needs to see what Rush Limbaugh is really like, as he is saying — as Matt Lauer describes — what "a lot of people were privately thinking."
If by the "a lot of [...]

Kicking Ass and Taking Names

Jeebus Wes Clark doesn't like Joe Lieberman.
Nice to see someone with guts who isn't intimidated by No Show Joe's petulant threats against the Democratic party.  I'm feeling pretty Clarkie today.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden claims that it's "a matter of personal honor" that he not campaign against Lieberman. 
Well, that and the fact that nobody asked.

New Ned ad.  That sound you hear?  Turncoat Joe's head exploding.
(H/T to dab from CT for the heads up.)

Gravitas in the Wingnut Welfare Pavilion

By: Jane Hamsher Thursday October 26, 2006 7:27 pm

 
Although it's now been taken off her Wikipedia page, I am here to testify that at one point Kathryn Jean Lopez was proud to boast of her history as a Duran Duran scholar.  As one of those dispatched to undercut the credibility of a Parkinson's disease victim hoping to find a cure for Parkinson's disease [...]

Blue America: John Laesch And More Update

By: Christy Hardin Smith Friday October 13, 2006 5:53 am

John Laesch is truly taking the fight to Denny Hastert — and has pulled within 10 points in the latest polling.  The above YouTube is John's latest ad, and as you'll see, it uses Tom Reynolds' (R-NY) own words to point out Hastert's failures.  The production values aren't top of the line (and with Laesch's [...]

Leaders, Not Followers

By: Christy Hardin Smith Tuesday September 26, 2006 1:45 pm

Markos posted a Webb ad earlier today, and I just now got a chance to watch it.  I like it — it’s to the point, honest, and blunt, and Webb comes across as a guy who is sick and tired of a bunch of crap out of Washington, which is the mood that I’m getting [...]

Political Ads — Which Catch Your Attention And Why?

By: Christy Hardin Smith Friday September 22, 2006 5:30 am

Don’t watch this YouTube just yet.  Do a little reading first… 
The Washington Post has been doing a whole series of articles on issues surrounding the upcoming election in November.  Two of these articles caught my eye over the last week, and I wanted to explore their main points in a little more depth — using [...]

Our Troops Keep Taking the Hit

By: Taylor Marsh Wednesday September 13, 2006 11:28 am

 
I was supposed to be in a conference call this morning with VoteVets, but was interrupted. So I asked them to send me their most recent ad campaign in support of the troops, which unmasks George Allen even further. Eric from VoteVets emailed me the YouTube version above, which everyone is talking about today. It’s [...]

Sure, Joe. Whatever You Say.

By: Jane Hamsher Thursday September 7, 2006 3:30 pm

I don’t quite know what Joe Lieberman or his proxies — GOP operatives like Dan Senor and his shadowy Veterans for  Truth 527 — think they have to gain by reminding people of Joe’s bungled war, but somehow they believe it’s a good idea to do so.  Their ads, featuring veterans thanking Joe for [...]

STUDENTS, NOT BANKS

Pass direct student lending now!

President Obama's plan for direct student lending saves $8.7 billion by cutting unnecessary fees paid to Wall Street banks.

But if the Senate tries to pass a health care 'fix' through reconciliation without passing direct lending at the same time, there won't be another opportunity for an entire year.

Sign our petition to the Senate to save our students and pass direct student lending.
