HEY MIKA LET'S DO ANOTHER SHOT

Terry McAuliffe’s First Ad Airs During Super Bowl

Hey look it’s wacky Terry McAuliffe’s first ad for governor of Virginia, the first of the 2009 season! It aired during the Super Bowl in select Virginia markets (”Hell”). Basically he tells Virginia that if he wins, then Hillary Clinton will stage a big primary comeback in Puerto Rico and we’ll all get wasted. [Terry McAuliffe, Washington Post]

    Wait, I thought Terry McAuliffe was officiating the super bowl?

  2. Serolf Divad says at 4:21 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    But can he win in real Virginia?

    God, I do not believe in you, but if I did, and you existed and were a really pissy Old Testament god, I would be praying to you to smite this sinner multiple times until he was a smoking pile of ash. If he wins Virginia, I will take that as proof that the evil Satan does exist, so how about stepping up here and proving me wrong?

    “It just goes to show the best ideas don’t always come out of Richmond.”

    Can’t….stop…..laughing…..help….

    I didn’t see it from my elitist condo in Arlington. Feh!

  7. Chad Sexington says at 4:30 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    “Jaaabs.” Is he running for Governor of the Carrier Dome?

  8. tehbenton says at 4:30 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    Yeah, it aired here. (I live in Chesapeake.) I’m sure he’ll do for my state what he did so skillfully for the Democratic party: Run it straight into the fucking ground to the clink of empty Dewar’s bottles.

    I have a sinking feeling that Bob McDonnell is going to be our next gubner. (To be fair, though, as far as Repugnicans go, he’s far from the worst of the lot.)

    SayItWithWookies: I know, I know. Also: “Keep our carriers here in Virgina where they belong.” Shouldn’t that be: keep our carriers out in the war zone where the trillions we spend on them might generate some useful outcomes instead of pork-enriched jobs for bloated contractors”?

    I’ve never seen anyone’s nostrils scream for cocaine before.

  11. Tommmcatt says at 4:40 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    McAuliffe reminds me of my wacky Uncle Joe, mostly because he is also constantly drunk and on coke.

  12. I hope he sticks with the strategy that worked so well for Hilz during the primaries. I want to see Terry in overalls downing a shot of Crown Royal while shooting a deer!

  13. Watchreader says at 4:42 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    oh oh! And I can sign up for updates! That way I can be the FIRST to know about Terry McAuliffe!

    I was going to say something snarky to add onto this, but really there’s nothing more I can do to denigrate this thought.

    I thought Mika’s boobs looked bigger this morning, maybe it was the sweater.

    Darling, stop wearing the boots, makes you like you have chicken legs.

  16. I will keep our carriers in Hampton Roads, where they belong.

    Compared to sending them to attack some third world satrapy, that’s not a bad idea.

  17. titsmcgee says at 5:09 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    Too bad we’re going to have to burn Doumar’s into the ground now to get out the rum smell. Them Strawberry Ringoes was good eatin’.

  18. You know, I’m from Buffalo, and my wife claims that while I don’t have the accent, every trip to see my family is for her a living hell of people saying things like “jaaaaahhhbs.” I don’t hear it there, but I do in this ad, which must indicate that Terry McAuliffe has the WORST UPSTATE NEW YORK ACCENT IN HUMAN HISTORY.

  19. lazynamepicker says at 5:14 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    Even if he had all the greatest ideas in the world, he can’t change the fact that he’s a douche.

  20. pat robertsons personal trainer says at 5:30 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    A $3M super bowl ad? that’s the kind of brilliant strategy that won hillary the nomination (of the states that counted if the dems had the same system as the walnuts/dimwit party). PUMA. also.

  21. assistant/atlas says at 5:41 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    Wow…they were able to edit out all of the shots where he took a swig from his flask and put a 30-second ad together? If there was a political Oscars, the makers of this video should win for Best Editing to Make a Drunk F-up Look Respectable.

    Also…at least Sarah Palin’s accent is amusing. Terry’s just makes me want to tear bits of flesh from my body.

  22. Pirates and Persians in the Indian Ocean, radioactive Chinese submarines in the Pacific, Putin and Canadians in the Arctic, but we need to keep our carriers on the Atlantic coast, to protect us from… I dunno, the Swiss Armada?

  23. Guppy06: That’s the word in Virginia: the posture ridiculous, the expense damnable.

    Eviland Woe (of course).

  24. Gregory_of_Nazianzus says at 8:13 pm, February 2nd, 2009

    Please tell me I’m not the only amused that texting Terry McAuliffe on your iPhone is supposed to win over Hampton Roads.

  25. Oh, Terry, Terry, Terry. I love you, buddy, but DAMN, you have the most obvious Yankee accent EVER. Jaaahbs. :)
    (Speaking as a Georgian, I don’t know why Virginians regard themselves as Southerners when they have snow that actually sticks, but they refer to themselves as such, so what the hell.)

  26. Uncle Glenny says at 12:59 am, February 3rd, 2009

    Guppy06: To protect the shipping lanes from pirates. When the fisherman can no longer sell their fish because the hobos can’t afford them, they’ll turn to piracy.

  27. Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahbs, JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHBS

  28. Uhh…

    How can the governor of a state decide where Aircraft Carriers are stationed?

    Like, if we go to war with China…
