Bring It On

They really lack imagination, don’t they? Fortunately, MoveOn has raised enough money to run counterattack ads:
For those politically minded Las Vegas residents rolling out of bed this morning and tuning in to the weekly Sunday chatfests (and that group must surely number in the dozens), the Republican National Committee is sponsoring a 60-second ad taking Senate Minority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) to task for alleged hypocrisy on Iraq.
The ad, which will run on the four local network affiliates during the Sunday talk shows, is more of a thumbed nose than an authentic punch. The latest ad buy totals a minuscule $5,000. It uses comments Reid made in 2002 in which he said Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein “has thumbed his nose at the world community,” adding: “I think that the president’s approaching this in the right fashion.” It ends by urging viewers to call Reid. “Tell him to stop playing partisan politics and stand behind our troops.”
