We love the advertisements in this Minnesota Senate race, whether it’s hobo Sen. Norm Coleman editing his Hollywood wife into his kitchen or, well, Norm Coleman editing Al Franken into Minnesota entirely. Here’s a new, campaign-unaffiliated ad in support of Norm Coleman that tackles some issue about private ballots. Some guy in a business suit looks at a cardboard cutout of Norm Coleman and says, “that’s a hero.” Then — NEEDLE SCRATCH — “I hate heroes.” CUE THE BURGLAR MUSIC. Things should get even better when Jesse Ventura steals the show. [YouTube]

I think Jesse Ventura should kick Al Franken’s ass. I’d pay good money to see that cage fight.
This ad was so funny I laughed my balls off.
Wow. Al Franken — tool of the MOB! Who knew?
Jonny Sachs - whatsamatta? they ain’t writin’ you no part in the sopranos movie? al due respec’… ahm just sayin
Spoiler Alert!
When John “Johnny Sack” Sacramoni was at war with Little Carmine over control of the New York family, Little Carmine paid Cousin Tony to whack two of Sack’s men outside a restaurant in the city. That sparked a feud between the two families lasting two seasons and cost the lives of several lieutenants, two feds and a gumar.
Beware Al Frankin! You don’t mess with Johnny Sack.
Now that’s a good ad.
One day we’ll look back and laugh at the day when we thought Union organizing was important. “Remember when there were still jobs in America?” We’ll say? And we’ll laugh, and laugh, and laugh as we wade through the Rio Grande hoping to find work tending to some rich Mexican’s garden so we can send a few Pesos back home to our family in the States.
That’s some real “tough guy” tie adjustment there.
I like thug #2’s mustache.
Serolf Divad: I’ve been practicing my Hindi accent so I can move to Delhi and get my Bank of America customer service job back…
johnny sach, still a sack of shit.
JEEBUS Al Franken did a lot. of. drugs.
Johnny Sack, how could you?
They really brought in the Goombahs for that one. What’s next, the Shyster for health care?
The candidates for the Minnesota Senate seat are made of cardboard?!?! Oh well, either one will do more good than Jesse Helms ever did.
Lolo:
Stick it out a few more years and you’ll be able to stay here and field customer service calls for Bank of New Delhi.
“My accent is a little funny because I am talking to you from The United States, sir. Well there’s no need to get snippy, sir, Americans are only doing the shit jobs that Indians and Pakistanis wouldn’t lower themselves to do. I promise you, sir, that I’d switch places with you any day of the week.”
Damn it Norm. You’re the straight man, Franken is the comedian. Think Rowan and Martin. Don’t make me remind you again.

The next ad will feature Tony Soprano beating the shit out of someone with a Blo & Go.
This is going to be the best campaign race in the history of the Senate.
This must the infamous Jewish mob that runs St Louis Park, MN. Triple scary.
Wait, didn’t we just decide two weeks ago that mob theme ads are hideously racist? Or is it bad to make fun of the Mob in Washington, but all right in Minnesota?
I just want to know which Soprano’s reference I can get away with without getting my knees capped.
Just another lie from the lying liars who tell lies.
What good is this funny ad going to do when the real bitters only have Basic Cable,
and have never even seen the Sopranos on elitist HBO?. Or effete A&E, for that matter.
Remember, Al Franken is a really funny guy, but only by Washington standards.
I hope he runs an endorsement ad featuring Michael Imperioli [Christopher] as a response.
Not to get all serious on y’all, but this ad infuriates me. Because it is such a giant lie! What they are talking about is the Employee Free Choice Act, and what EFCA would do is allow workers to organize by signing union cards until they reach a majority OR by having a secret ballot election, their choice. Right now, the boss gets to decide which method is used, and they almost always choose secret ballot elections because it gives them time to harass and fire people. When workers sign cards to organize, often the boss doesn’t even know about it until everyone is signed up, and it is too late for them to unload their bullshit on people.
testing linkability. nothing funny here, move along
The reaction of the people is depends on the add only.I think it is not a good add.
