It must have been “Rent-A-Republican” morning at the DSCC, because an advertisement error this avoidable could only have been produced by John McCain, or his daughter: “The image in the attack on Scott Brown for his alleged closeness to Wall Street pictures the [World] Trade Center and the destroyed Marriott Hotel on its western side.” Damn! OF ALL THE BUILDINGS IN NEW YORK CITY! Nary an American will forget where they were when they first saw those images of the Marriott Hotel crashing.
The DSCC has “fixed” the ad and put in some other corporate-y lookin’ building or another atop the ashes of the World Trade Center and its precious Marriott Hotel:
Grr… just look at those greedy corrupt bankers, hiding behind all that glass, thinking they’re so special… well we’ll show them who’s… who’s the…
A Trade Center image in DSCC spot [Ben Smith]
“My opponent is a pro-greed, pro-corruption, milkshake-hating extremist.”
The building in the second ad is one ugly building; but then, the first ad remind me that the Trade Center towers were ugly as hell too. Skyscraper architects really seemed to lose all sense of aesthetics in the 60s and 70s; at least by the mid-80s they finally started making attractive buildings again.
Oh, and as for the actual subject; the World TRADE Center actually would have been appropriate for an ad dealing with greedy financial industry assholes.
Everyone knows that stock foootage is un-mercan.
Jesus, the Democrats can’t even properly exploit 9/11 correctly
Teabagger Brown.
Oh, the danger of searching stock photo sites with a handful of keywords and zero domain knowledge. But that describes all but one graphic artist I’ve ever had to deal with.
oh crap! swift-boating for lunch again?
Hooray For Anything: DSCC needs to consult with Giuliani Partners to get the proper procedure on how to exploit 9/11.
I recognized it as the World Trade Center because of the flames.
Factoid: Pre-9/11, many Mass. voters would travel to the Twin Towers to look up at them at ground level and memorize their facade.
I must admit that the squat building in the picture looks much like the old Vegas Sands.
Is this woman trying to lose? Next, she’ll be inviting Jay Leno to one of her rallies.
I dunno about you, but I’m voting for the guy with the 40-story head just so he doesn’t squish me between his toes.
That’s so inappropriate. They should’ve had a pile of dead bodies from Auschwitz as the background image.
Sober up Boston, you got work to do!
Josh Fruhlinger: That’s a rather plain view you have, Fruhlinger.
Hooray For Anything: Win. Hands down.
Jesus Fucking Christ on a Bicycle, Don’t Look Ted
Sen. Chris Dodd to me
Dear Jim:
We fucked up. We fucked up bad. Won’t you please take the attached bogus survey on health care, attach it or don’t, and then immediately send us more of your munnies so that we can stop using free interns and free stock photos, and we can instead pay for photos and get interns who will stop cruising pr0n sites just long enough to actually look at the motherfucking photos before cutting and pasting them into Microsoft Publisher.
Jesus, Mary, & Joseph, it’s almost like we’re trying to lose.
Yours in Health Care,
Sen. Dodd
Keep yer Masshole libtard hands offa our hole in the ground!
WTF? Looks like the Dems are gonna lose this one…
Bold move for a man who didn’t want his constituents’ hard-earned money going to support Red Cross relief workers in October 2001. That’s what I call 9/12 spirit!
Who did they hire? Bristol Palin’s BSMP firm?
proudgrampa: Doubt it.
It’s one thing to tell a pollster your going to vote for a corrupt and venal tool of moneyed interests because your pissed off they let the conservadems eat the public option. It’s another to stick the muzzle in your mouth and pull the lever.
there was in fact a storyline to blame corruption at Boston’s Logan airport for 9/11, as officially the planes that hit the WTC both originated from Boston.
I mean they COULD have gone, if they had balls– but then again they are dems
