My wife and I have stopped answering the phone due to a deluge of robocalls on behalf of various candidates. (Please stop ringing us up, President Obama, and that goes for “Jack” at American Crossroads, too. Hit the road.) The uncontrolled sewage overflow of TV spots, when compared to the miniscule number of undecided Nevada voters, must surely constitute the greatest inverse proportional ratio of all time. Besides, the pitches are geared to such a low level of cognitive ability that even a simpleton would be offended … although nobody’s accused us of being too smart for our own good lately.
For a refreshing breath of historical perspective, an S&G reader sent me this satirical video, depicting how the presidential election of 1800 might have played out if our Founding Fathers had access to TV and Madison Ave. It’s damn funny and reminds one that they don’t craft political rhetoric like they used to. So the next time somebody gets your goat, call them “nutmeg-faced.”
Don’t show this video to Angles’s handlers or they’ll throw all those insults into an instant ad targeting Reid.
