Wonkette
Ugh this DSCC ad has about a million problems with it. Number one, only one of these people is a “quitter” in the sense of “throwing a weird hissy fit in front of a flock of honking geese and leaving one’s job for no discernible purpose.”
Number two, only one of the remaining people is a “quitter” in the sense of “giving up public office in order to think about pursuing a higher office.” Number three, the remaining human in the ad — Charlie Crist — isn’t quitting anything, he’s just not running for re-election. Number four, who are Democrats to throw stones when both their president and vice president “quit” their senatorial gigs to run the country? In conclusion, this ad needed just a dash more Paris Hilton/Britney Spears or a sprinkling of “John McCain, don’t eat my baby” in order to truly rival the stupidity of the last campaign cycle’s ads. Good try, though! [DSCC]
But Charlie Crist did quit something…. buttsecksing men.
Credit where it’s due, SKS. You have no idea how hard it was for him to do…
Yeah, this is pretty weak sauce. If moving on from one task to another task was quitting, I’ve done a fuckton of quitting in my life. At least I’m not stunted backwoods woman-child Sarah Palin, I guess, is the point of this ad
I agree with Wonkette’s analysis, but I just saw Charlie Crist in the same commercial as Sarah Palin, so now I won’t be voting for him. Well played Dems!
Look, the DSCC wants to make of much hay of this Palin flake-out thing as they can but they have to be equal opportunity offenders so not to accused of abusing children or hating women.
I’m sorry America, for supporting a party that allowed this group of tools to pollute the Intertubes with crap like this.
They forgot that Utah governor, he quit, too.
You’d think that the party of librul Hollwierd would have an arsenal of actors to give us better voiceovers.
Also, all 3 of them look like Illuminati from the back, also.
Are these libtards already forgetting the rich history of Dem quitters?
Hell, Kennedy quit the presidency 3 years into his term
The DSCC is going to lose me as well if they quit on the public option and healtcare reform altogether..just sayin’…
Today, we are all embarassed to be Democrats.
Half the crazy of Palin’s resignation was her dogged insistence that there was nothing out-of-the-ordinary about it. Maybe the DSCC thought she needed some help making her case?
The DSCC: Conceding the point, one commercial at a time.
Well didn’t I see on friday that Walther Cronkite quit breathing? And he was the most trusted man in America…so help me god…
Min: Only today?
This is just a setup for the DSCC’s next ad about Mark Sanford and John Ensign and how they proudly have not quit.
I Ron Blagojevich, I Elliot Spitzer, solemnly swear… And wouldn’t it be nice if Sanford and Ensign resigned? Next time these goddam people call and ask for money, I will play this ad and ask for some coherent splainin’.
i want to see moar ads decrying the lies of mainstream medias!!!!
Let’s keep in mind it’s the Senate Democrats who birthed this abortion. Some of whom aren’t sure they want to insure every US American. Some of whom thought the stimulus a bit much. Some of whom aren’t on board with EFCA, etc. The brain of the DSCC has multiple personality disorder. This is that brain on drugs or something.
Democrats on the other hand stand firm and loyal to our oaths of office. Neither scandalous appointment context nor impeachment will sway us! Today we are all proud and mighty Blagojeviches.
ouch. a democratic party fail, no doubt. way to stay humble, amigos.
So, what do you call someone who gives up their job to become a ‘blogger’ on Twitter? What’s a Twitter-blogger called? Twigger?
That ad really is dumb and unnecessary. Maybe they are hoping to start an ad war that the ‘Publicans can’t afford. And you just know that the reaction will be batshit crazy, as usual.
Guess what rymes with Twitter? Quitter!
This ad makes my ass hurt. So help me, God.
Min: TODAY?
Somebody needs to tell Charlie Crist that the Fuck Me Red nail polish really isn’t his shade.
Come on, people! You’re missing the bigger picture here. THE DEMS ARE FINALLY PLAYING DIRTY!!
So yeah, OK, they suck at it. But at least they’re trying, for God’s sake!
Serolf Divad: Good point. But the republicans have a history of evil fuckers making Willie Horton ads. The Democrats have a history of Mark Penn.
Nothing wrong with quitting. Most of those wankers should never have started.
SayItWithWookies: Now, that would be a good ad. If only you, sir, ran the DSCC. But seriously, maybe we should have them borrow some balls from Hillary or something…
widget09: Check out what you get when you go to Qwitter.com.
I never actually gave the DSCC any money.
But, still!
They’re wastin’ it.
Extemporanus: Great. Like I needed another portal to kill the day.
Shit. The least they could have done was be like The Daily Show and steal material from Wonkette for their commercials. If not from blogger content, then at least from the comments. We indirectly and probably unintentionally raise many, many more reasons to hate the Republicans, every single day, as the result of our drinking/toking and typing words into a series of tubes here at Wonkette.
Wait, isn’t Crist Angles a magician or something?
