Wonkette
Let’s take a breather from presidential politics for a moment and reflect on this glorious advertisement from the Jim Slattery campaign, which shows Kansas Senator Pat Roberts growing into a fifty-foot monster who urinates on people. This is amazing. ["Hosed"]
Finally, a Senator R. Kelly can get behind!
Aaaaaw, why’d they have to ruin that commercial by showing a gas pump hose?
Holy shit. That is a new low in poor taste. Rove, knock it off!
If I’d seen Giant Pat start to kneel, I’d have hauled my ass out of there!
How can you NOT just love this ad?
You KNOW they only put that “gas nozzle” in there to avoid violating some sort of FCC ruling and avoid fines.
Besides, thy didn’t want to lose the “golden Shower” vote!
Ahh, the freedom running as a Democrat in an ultra-stupid red state allows you to have.
We have three weeks left until the election and I want to see the ads that top that one. Make it rain baby!
Even the Dems in Kansas are all class!
Tawmn: Agreed. This ad is awesome. Those Lilliputian voters totally deserved to be showered with…ahem…gasoline.
God, I am soooo going to miss all this stuff after Nov 4 and it’s no longer an election year.
OTOH, I may actually get some work done for a change.
What’s the matter with Kansas? Other than being populated by port-a-port dwelling Liliputians?
quick, someone make a Larry Craig joke
Worst. Commercial. Ever.
Almost makes you want to move to Kansas to vote for Slattery. Almost.
This hast be the first political ad to use the phrase “getting hosed”.
I wonder if they are going to runva fertilizer ad in response or as a follow up….
Noodle Salad: It might help if they used texts other than the Bible in their public school systems.
That is hysterical. So, you can run a car on pee? At least we have an endless supply of that.
Gasssssssss.
Ah, the midwest. Heartland of the nation.
OMFG, Slattery has got the best ads.
Norbert: no, the Craig ad would have the hose pumping out Whipped cream, and the tag line “While Idaho voters get creamed”
Serolf Divad: OMG!!! That was too funny!
At least it was “getting hosed” and not “getting shat on.”
Truculent: Toes…he should be more respectful…like..
Glad someone FINALLY mentioned Glass-Steigel and Phil Gramm. anyone who voted for changing the laws put in place after the ’30’s to prevent another great depression should eat a bag of dicks.
Where is Mr. Gramm these days? And why isn’t Hopey talking about him?
Meh, the rediculous, religulous Repukes have been pissing all over us for the last eight years…
At least urine isn’t a highly flammable substance!
Pat Roberts can’t get it in the tank
That was almost the greatest ad of all time. Why pull out of the metaphor when its going so well? He needs to make a doo-doo ad to make up for his urine cowardice.

Cogito Ergo Bibo: Sort of. The Mercedes BlueTec emissions-control fluid is urea-based, so it’s basically colored piss. That you pay money for. Who says Germans don’t have a sense of humor?
Truculent: Could have been worse. I thought they were going to use the “Worlds biggest penis” line.
Serolf Divad: Fart jokes can’t be far away.
edgydrifter: Richtig! Arbeit macht Frei!
The mind boggles.
Gas nozzle. Right. Size queen.
Kim Kardashian is in loooovveee
Cogito Ergo Bibo: Yes, and what creates an endless supply of pee? An endless supply of beer! And who’s married to a beer heiress? McCain! And what does a hobo like McCain do to get a rich heiress to marry him? Drill, baby, drill! It all comes back to oil.
The gas nozzle is possibly MORE horrific. If he was just pissing on folks then it’s just the standard “fuck you” that we expect from our political leaders. But the only reason I know of to pour gasoline on someone is when you plan to BURN THEM ALIVE!
Just wait till the next ad which is code named “Cleveland Steamer” for some reason.
Picked the wrong day to quit huffing gas!
Jim Slattery goes after the urolagnia constituency, wins their 10 votes hands down. Next up: winning the scatophile vote.
(ew)
ManchuCandidate: THIS is why I LOVE the Wonkette you learn SOO many new terms and phrases…
What I really need to know now is, WTF does the act ‘cleveland steamer‘ have to do with the City of Cleveland??
I’ve heard Cleveland is pretty dirty, but I’v never heard it called shitty!!
This proves it: voters CAN be simultaneously pissed off and pissed on.
NoWireHangers: I’m not so sure. Check out the last two seconds during the “So do we” shout. How is it that the Lilliputians are so grimy after their shower?
That boy’s wee-wee looks different from mine.
Golden showers for the poor, golden parachutes for the rich.
Carrie_Okie: HAHA! they put Hussein in quotes. Do you think the person responsible for that sign was too dumb to know that is ACTUALLY his middle name, as opposed to just some sort of Muslim slur?
This is a gross distortion of Congressional Republicans. There are women in that mob.
El Topo: Yeah, the scalpel slipped big-time during his Bris
Jesus fucking christ that was awesome. My favorite part: the piss-drenched mini-citizens yelling at the end, “SO DO WE!” Well, that part and the part when they get pissed on.
Slattery: Standing up for the peons!
God, I love this country.
Obviously, someone from the Slattery campaign had recently finished Proust, who in “Remembrance of Things Past” used the metaphor that we never stop growing and become decrepit giants in our dotage. Otoh, Proust wisely refrained from any Senatorial campaigns.
Let’s hope the election gets here before Slattery has to deploy the “facial” ad.
“Don’t worry, it’s just raining” he calls back over his shoulder as he flips a smoldering cigarette-butt at the voters.
I just missed the deadline for this year’s “Dark and Stormy Night” contest.
I want to see 2 Candidates, 1 Cup.
Special Agent Jack Mehoff: just a moran muslin hater, doubtless.
Jolly Yellow Giant?
Finally, an ad that speaks to me.
Who ever is responsible for this ad needs to take over the Obama campaign right this minute!
Slattery, or “Slathering”?
Check out his Airbus radio spot, too. Tres magnifique!
WadISay: Yeah, but that would have been funny.
Does anybody else feel like Bush has been doing this to us for the past 8 years?
denver_80203: Surprise, his urine IS gasoline!!!
That’s my Robert, always pissin’ on somebody.
He just started taking Flomax!
Those people looked like they were enjoying themselves.
I see the focus-group test-run nixed the tossed match at the end.
If I could have this entire video shrunken, re-res’ed to actually resemble its original youtube self, and played in full in my avatar I think I’d open a thousand libraries in Asia in Wonkette’s name. Also, if you hovered your cursor over it for three seconds, a popup would appear that you could scratch and sniff and it would smell like a urinal cake.
No question that Roberts is a craven feckless vacuous pile of manure` who sat on the Senate’s Iraq pre-war intelligence probe for 3 years. And that’s why my fellow Kansans are poised to hand him another landslide.
Living in Kansas, I’ve seen the Slattery signs all over but TV only seems to run attack ads against him. However, now I know who I’m voting for. Hell, even if he wasn’t a democrat, this ad is too good and it would get my vote either way.
I live in Kansas too but haven’t seen any of Slattery’s TV commercials, which is too bad since they’re kind of awesome! However, he impressed me by showing up at my door a few weeks ago (he’s the first politician around here I’ve ever known to do that), and then again at an event I attended last weekend.
