David Zucker's campaign commercial

Posted by David Hardy · 10 October 2006 05:25 PM

It's available on YouTube, and just hilarious. Word is that Zucker, producer of "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun," presented to the GOP, and after they stopped gasping they turned it down. Too bad. It might have been the one campaign ad everyone would have been happy watching.

I remember Glenn Reynold's prediction, during the last election, that future elections would see privately-produced campaign ads that would be more timely, more searing, and far more funny than anything a political party could put out. Looks like that call was right on.

Something is wrong with that link. It asks me if I'm 18. Is this Dhimmitude limiting the audience?

I tried getting through as well. I ended up registering so that I could view it and I still can't view it. It took quite a while for my login to propigate through the YouTube network before I could finally see it.

Yes, somebody got their panties in a twist that the commercial showed Clinton's administration in a bad light, so they complained that the piece had "objectionable content."

Wusses.

My only complaint is that there aren't more ads ridiculing everybody running for or sitting in office.

Zucker was interviewed on a Milwaukee radio station last week.

During the interview, he was clear: the ad was MEANT for Internet views, not broadcast time.

The Pubbies are spinning this one.

GooTube blocked it as best they could but Drudge has it in a direct link, as do others.

The Left has The Daily Show and the Colbert Report.

It's only fair that the Right be allowed to produce and distribute their own satires of politics.
