"Old Tricks" Ad goes national tomorrow

[newsguyatl]

a kerry campaign adviser comfirms that starting tomorrow, the campaign will begin airing "old tricks" in battleground states and on cable...

it's the ad that includes the exchange between mccain and bush in 2000.



SCRIPT:
NAME: “Old Tricks”
TYPE: “Internet”
LENGTH: 52 seconds
McCain: Let me tell you what really went over the line. Governor Bush had an event, and he paid for it, and standing, and stood next to the spokesman for a fringe veterans group. That fringe veteran said that John McCain had abandoned the veterans. Now I don’t know how if you can understand this George, but that really hurts.

Bush: Yeah.
McCain: That really hurts. And so five United State senators, Vietnam veterans, heroes. Some of them really incredible heroes, wrote George a letter and said “apologize.” You should, you should be ashamed.

1. Yeah! That's what we need

I love that ad.

Bet McCain gave tacit approval for it ...

[geek tragedy]

2. Woo hoo!

Bush on the defensive. In his bunker in Crawford.

Max Cleland called the little eunuch out. They're taking the fight to Bush--and pushing him around.

15. Has the press reported whether Cleland got in or not?

This is also going to put McCain in the forefront. I imagine he had given tacit approval to the use of this ad, but I imagine he doesn't relish the dancing act he'll have to assume with the Bush* campaign. Why the hell he doesn't come over to Kerry. Kerry would undoubtedly make him Defense Secretary if that's what he wants. I just don't get it. (and no I'm only a McCain fan in the sense that he is the most principaled of a very unprincipaled Repug cabal, but that is not saying much at all).

3. That's a fucking great ad, Internet version at least

Beautiful.

In the words of the Adam Clymer impersonator who appeared on Letterman about four years ago,

"FUCK YOU, GEORGE W. BUSH!"

4. I think they should have one of Cleland

and what he did today.

13. and Rassman when he said "they lied about ME"

it shows they aren't only attacking kerry, but other veterans. veterans like rassman who never did the "anti american" things kerry did. rassman who was a republican until recently. they attack and call people like him a liar.

5. What's really great is

this will be running during the convention when McCain is speaking for Bush.

[geek tragedy]

6. Ohmigod!!!!!!!

Perfect.

[shawmut]

7. and right before their convention too

:toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. This is a great ad. But it makes me sadly shake my head that McCain

can then turn around and wrap his arms around the man who dishonestly took the primary from him. How can he turn it off and on like that? It's downright sickening if you think about it too much.

[Proud2BAmurkin]

9. OUT FUCKING STANDING

was wondering why they were holding that one back.

PERFECT TIMING

[LiberalBushFan]

10. Yes!!!

Just what I suggested a few days ago.

[lancdem]

12. The counterattack continues

and this ad can be run for weeks if need be. It's that devastating.

14. Yes!!

I know there were alot of us on here who wanted this on TV. I'm loving this campaign!

[hlthe2b]

16. Please let it show in Colorado!!!!! We need saturation here.

and in honor of that possibility, I guess I'll turn the tv back on occasionally.
