Here is that ad we talked about in the Daily Briefing! The best part is it rhymes at the end. Also, this is one of them ads released so that MEDIA ELITES will talk them up, so give yourself a pat on the back, you are now part of the media elite that Normal Americans despise even more than the regular elite.

Bring on the KEATING FIVE KEATING FIVE KEATING FIVE!!!
I wondered when they’d use the “nation of whiners” comment.
Barry’s last few ads have pushed the “I approve this message” to the front, leaving the tagline to resonate with the viewer. Good strategy. I approve this message.
YO, This is MC Barry~O & I’m down with this message.
Ufortunately the answer isn’t “drill baby drill”…which is a shortsighted proposition. I’m all for drilling, but it is a truth that with 25% of the world’s demand, but only 3% of the world’s reserves, DRILLING AIN’T GONNA DO A DAMN THING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM YOU FUQING MORANS. However, the drilling debate is a good way to divide America and drive the math challenged into the Republican camp, but it’s not too good for America’s future because, with 25% of the world’s demand, but only 3% of the world’s reserves, America is gonna be buying 22% of it’s oil overseas…and we’re gonna buy it from anyone who has it. So…Walnutz and Palin…you fucQing un-American freedom hating Arab lovers: why do you champion a energy plan that is doomed to fail, because 25% minus 3% IS A 22% SHORTFALL YOU FUQING COMMUNIST AMERICA HATERS. Why indeed. Because it isn’t about having a wise energy plan…it is about WINNING…and it is about winning at the expense of America’s future and at the expense of the American public. Palin and Walnutz should move Saudi Arabia and become Saudi citizens, because they are championing a policy that is good for the Arabs, but bad for you and bad for me and bad for John and Jane Q. American Citizen. Walnutz and Palin should be ashamed of themselves. They are very…very…BAD AMERICANS.
If McCain is a cock you must vote Barack!
If the economy has made you saw “Aw, nuts,” don’t vote for WALNUTS!
We’ll release nude photos of Sarah Palin, if you vote McCain-Palin.
campaign advisors looking for rhyming slogans contact me
Walnuts this morning in Wisconsin - The democrats are to blame for the economy!!! I called for reform of Freddie Mac and Fannie May 2 years ago, and the Republican led White House and Congress did nothing!! Therefore, it’s Obama’s fault!! LOUD NOISES!!!
Not only does he not know where Spain is located, he has also forgotten that the Dems didn’t re-take congress officially until January of 2007. That was LAST YEAR you dumbass. I also find it funny that he blames lobbyists. You know, the people who RUN HIS CAMPAIGN. Johnny Mac, you are a fountain of mockery.
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Putting it at the front is definitely better, and I think Barry is getting better with these ads. However, I’d prefer it if Barry himself did the voiceover, and not some nameless “I’m a serious person” voice.
I’m wondering if your average person knows what a golden parachute is — some are going to see this and think she literally got a golden parachute, but either way it works.
I am facehead and I approve this message.
Re: McCain’s advisors…
As my old boss used to say - first rate people hire first rate people.
Second rate people hire third rate people.
Spend Baby Spend.
facehead:
I think most Americans (most bitters anyway) think a Golden Parachute is a perverted sex act. But that’s OK by me, and I’m sure it’s OK by Barry’s ad guys.
facehead: Well, given that the “In a world where we’ll all blow up eventually” movie trailer guy is dead, you’re right. They need to drag Hopey off the stump for a few minutes and get him to lay down the audio for these. The only risk is that it makes the attack look more personal. Which, to me is just the delicious chocolate icing on the cake, but not everyone is going to see it that way.
Golden parachutes for dummies: golden parachutes protect CEO’s from the golden showers all the actually productive employees receive.
Q2: Haven’t you heard? Oil is fungible. Cat litter is fungible too. So stop trying to put flags on those molecules.
I heard this from one of the world’s leading energy experts.
Someone please create a flash animation of McCain as Elmer Fudd responding to this add: “I am not fundamentally wong. The economy is fundamentally stwong. You pesky Bawabbit!”
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but…I think Paul Begala actually had a good idea (!). On Rachel Maddow, he proposed that Barry’s first line of attack be to bring up his proposed reform of Social Security, which would have invested 1/4 of everyone’s Grandparents’ income in the stock market (I think he even proposed Lehman Brothers). Now might indeed be a good time to remind everyone of Walnuts’ history of financial astuteness.
Oh damn, Barry’s bringin’ tha OwnZone! Seriously, that ad was pretty good. I especially like that they called Carly Fiorina a “fired CEO”.
Q2: You know, you can say “fuck” on Wonkette if you want to. Or I don’t know, looking at your username, is spelling words with unnecessary Q’s part of your gimmick?
with a phd and a printing press — problem solved.
Johnny Zhivago:
Sarah Palin puts the “fun” in “fungible.”
I think Joey B. is on the ad speech writing team. That ” they call that a staff meeting” line from the other night was a killer!
BobLoblawLawBlog: Cafferty would be happy to help. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jN00rFIn8ig
Cogito Ergo Bibo: I’m so confident he should be doing the talking, he’s got a great voice. Hell, he could have been a rapper with that voice, wu-tang caliber even — and I’m not just saying that because his girl has a big ass.
This makes me smile. WcCain’s trying to make this about anything BUT the economy, ’cause he knows he can’t win that fight. And Barry came to that fight, which he was going to win anyway, loaded down like Cable when Leifeld draws him (award yourself 10 points if you get the ref).
If he wins the foreign policy/national security debate, things might be looking up, and I can stop working on my bunker.
Johnny Zhivago: You are on fire today, Snark-Master.
facehead: What would be his rapper name? I would try to come up with some, but I’m a lame cracker.
Serolf Divad: As a US American I am just FURIOUS over fungibility. I want gas stations, home heating oil dealers - all of these fatcats to let me choose AMERICAN energy. I mean every gas station has 3-4 pumps anyway. So instead of premium, extra, etc. I want to choose ALASKAN OIL, TEXAN OIL or FOREIGN/MUSLIM/HUGO CHAVEZ OIL. Let’s show it to these creeps living outside our country that real Americans will choose US molecules every single day!
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Is it just me or is Blitzer more and more trying to set himself up as the referee, making sure that everything that all of the people on his show say is factually accurate? It’s a little sad to see; seeing him trying to get Cafferty, Carville, and Obese Right-Winger Lady play nice makes him look like the nerdy kid on the schoolyard trying to calm everyone down when the post-unecessary-roughness fight breaks out.
tl;dr: Blitzer’s a doddering old coot. Like WcCain.
I give this ad a “B”. For it to work, you’ve got to expect some brain stem in Ohio who thinks “fill graham” is something on the bottom of cheesecake, to follow a bunch of names and quotes. Begala has it right: the more visceral point is that McBush wanted to put everyone’s social security into the stock market, and institution they now describe as a casino. I would approve that message.
I’m the Guru Kalehuru and I approve this message: Wow, just wow! The play with the word fundamental was a direct counterpoint to McCain’s dark black shadow consuming babies between Washington and Boston.
The underlying message was clear. You can be a fundamentalist, and you are not required to vote for the old-retarded guy and the seal clubbing sportscaster. I’m a churchy negro. Acceptable. If Barry can split that demographic, it’s game over.
Hunter Gathers:
HaChiBaRO Hopey?
Ha=Hawaii
Chi= obviously Chicago
BaR= Barry
O= Obama
No rapidly growing Capitol eating white babies = EPIC FAIL
BobLoblawLawBlog: Yep, nothing works better than scaring the olds. Of course, a black man on TV scares the olds too.
Hunter Gathers: Old Dirty Barry, of course!
Johnny Zhivago: You must not understand science. You see, the molecules collide with the planet body, and then molecules again! Well, see you later!
Hunter Gathers: H.B.O.
Strictly for the Tardcore: Wolfy just seems so sad to me. He knows that his best days were spent covering the Gulf War, back when he was relevant. It’s as if he’s just trying to prove he still exists, at this point. Poor guy. Somebody give him a cookie.
Serolf Divad:
She also put the cunt back in country.
O.K., you have to say it out loud, it doesn’t work nearly so well
when you see it in print.
Q2:
The only economics that the GOP base understands is the savings between a 30-pack and 2½ 12-packs of Old Milwaukee. And it’s easier to carry the economy-size bag of Cheetos in the other hand.
Serolf Divad:
I think Sarah pronounces it Fun-G-Bible.
I could be wrong.
actually….THAT’S THE BEST AD BY BARRY YET…. short, sweet & has a great beat. do ya think they’ll be releasing the soundtrack on i-tunes?
those commenters made my head hurt.
you are now part of the media elite
Can I please be the nude weathercaster?
(award yourself 10 points if you get the ref)
*does so, but hopes nobody sees him doing it*
It’s a pity McWalnuts benched Fiorina: she’s hot in a botoxed, long-legged, WASP, patrician, ex-CEO kind of way. Let’s all pray to God that the crazy old coot doesn’t start pushing ex-eBayer Meg Whitman to the front of his campaign: she looks like a bulldog chewing a wasp.
I’m regisgoat and I approve Hopey’s commercial.
Johnny Zhivago: Yes yes yes, another nail in the coffin of the drill-us-out-of-high-oil-prices canard. It’s a world market. If Exxon finds oil off Florida, are they going to sell it cheaper to us than they can to Italy or France?
I’m sorry, that’s not funny at all. But it’s so obvious! Why can’t the bitterz see it?
Of course he has economic advisers, who do you think yells “Roll a seven, Johnny!” or “Marry that rich broad, Mac!” at him? Cindy? It’s Phil Gramm, baby.

Johnny Zhivago: This is a common mistake in deciphering Palins comment about ‘molecules’. The statement was actually a code speak for the climate change deniers.
Because we cannot ‘flag’ the carbon ‘molecules’ we do not know where they come from.
So climate change could be caused by cow farts instead of coal plants. WE DONT KNOW.
Because the molecules cant be flagged, and tracked, there is no way to prove where the carbon causing climate change is coming from.
this is not snark.
Q2: Q2, you seem upset. How can I help? Anyway, I was boilin’ mad earlier, but now I’ve smoked a couple and everythings OK again. Except for those retards running on the GOP ticket, how is it I can smoke like 10 Js and still be more logical than them. Kinda begs the question, what the fuq are they taking?
BTW, I like your use of ‘Q’ in the word fuck
sati demise: Actually, I understood this to be a deep scientific discourse regarding the ethics of the superatomic supercollider. You know that thing created a giant black hole and killed us all right? Those were some angry molecules. Of course now we are living in a parallel universe where up is down, and down is up; black is white and white is blac, etc, etc. Hence people actually see some logic in Walnuts and Snowbilly
If the shoes fit you must give them shit.
randomsausage: I don’t even know who Meg Whitman is, but that bulldog chewing a wasp comment was f***ing hilarious. I’m gonna google Whitman now.
Fundamentally strong? Fundamentally wrong.
If it doesn’t fit-you must acquit
