The candidate who cried "wolf".
Bush-Cheney 04 is now launching a new ad called "Wolves", :
The Democrats are responding with eagles and ostriches; according to ABC News, the DNC ad states: "The eagle sours high above the earth; the ostrich buries its head in the sand. The eagle knows when it's time to change course; the ostrich just stands in its place. Given these challenging times, shouldn't we be the eagle again?"
I say the Democrats could run a couple of other animal response ads:
"Chimps", in which a bunch of chimps (made up to resemble Bush, Cheney et al) sitting around a table with a map of the middle east on the wall starting throwing their feces at it, with the feces landing on Iraq, while a large gorilla (with an Osama beard) gets away and runs out the door.
The tagline could say "While President Bush and his cronies monkeyed around with our national security, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda got away" or something like that.
(I suppose to get it aired, they'd have to substitute tomatoes or something for feces, although it wouldn't be as appropriate).
Or they could hire Joe Flaherty to reprise his Count Floyd character. They could show an excerpt from "Wolves" and Count Floyd would howl and go "oooh..isn't that scary, kids?" and then say, "but not as scary as what George W. Bush has done to this country, etc. etc."
Oh well, perhaps Bush and Kerry should schedule a fourth debate, to be shown exclusively on Animal Planet.

the AP says the spot is, "reminiscent of Ronald Reagan's 'Bear' ad that was credited with framing the 1984 race, (and) shows a dense forest from above. Scurrying is heard as the camera plunges deeper into the woods and pans sunlight-speckled trees. Shadows move through the brush before animals are seen amid the forest. Then, the ad reveals the type of animal: a pack of wolves rest on a hill. As the commercial closes, the cunning and ruthless predators stir, crawling toward the camera."How ironic that BC04 would literally cry "wolf", after having done so metaphorically for months now, with their politically-motivated and politically-timed terror alerts.
