Lord knows where he got the funding for this modern epic, but it seems to be a waste. Seriously, the cheesy voiceover guy with the movie trailer theme? If you’re going to go down that road, at least have some gun fights or explosions or snippets of you beating the shit out of a Merck executive in that mill you keep talking about.

John Edwards’ use of “mill” is reaching “9/11″-levels of shamelessness in the face of losing. Exhibit A: His new South Carolina ad, which is called… “Mill”! Guess why he’s running for president, according to this ad? Because his father worked in a mill! Rudy and Johnny should run on a ticket and combine their messages into a behemoth of self-pity: “A Vote for the 9/11 Mill is a Vote Against Hijacked Lower-Middle Class Terrorism.” [YouTube]
