Someone said Rove's REAL target is the Senate - Romney is a diversion....

79. Has anyone else seen the Citizens United ads?

Locally, we have a guy running against the GOP incumbent.

The incumbent is Mary Bono, a right-wing carpetbagger. The Democrat is a doctor who seems like a nice guy. He's running a positive campaign and while he attacks "Washington," he hasn't trashed Bono.

The other night, I was watching Jeopardy, when this disgusting attack ad against the doctor came on. It was done in grainy black and white -- pretty much cheap horror film style. The whole theme was that Nancy Pelosi was an evil witch -- she had even been photoshopped to look like the wicked witch of the west, and the doctor was photoshopped to make him look like Nancy Pelolsi -- and that a vote for the Democrat equaled a vote for Pelosi. Every once in a while, the whole frame of the picture would quiver back and forth. A film maker once told me that this is a technique (I forget the name) to introduce spookiness into the film.

At the end, the disclaimer came that "This was produced by no candidate or party. It is the product of "Americans for a Better California" or "California for A Better America" or some feel-good crap like that.

So, basically, Mary Bono gets to keep her money in the bank while her surrogates trash the Democrat and she can claim that she ran a positive campaign.

Thanks, Supreme Court -- fascist bastards
