The current talk of using nuclear bunker busters in Iran reminded me of this commercial from the 1964 presidential race, when LBJ was running against uber-hawk Goldwater.

Rather than hollow me-tooism, this is how LBJ framed those eager to use our nuclear arsenal.

Another on nukes,

MERELY ANOTHER WEAPON?

Some of the outside groups might have done stuff this good, but most of the candidates including Kerry seemed to be in a contest to see whose commercials could be more bland, inoffensive, and forgetable.

People still talk about this one. What the hell happened? Are all the current Democratic consultants fifth columnists or retarded?

Bush tries to explain global warming and is forced to consult a book, albeit a pop up one.

Someone pointed out that it was almost criminal incompetence for the Democrats or sympathetic interests groups to NOT have run the earlier Will Ferrell as Bush as a campaign commercial in the 2004 presidential election, not just because it is funny and memorable, but because it is honest about something that the mainstream press bends over backward to avoid saying:

that Bush is willfully ignorant and possibly retarded apart from his skills as a political and business con man.

Democrats and those further left have an advantage of having smart creative people on their side, but instead rely on the same tired load of consultants the GOP does. Try to remember any of Kerry's campaign commercials compared to this, and it would be hard to argue against tying a rock around the necks of Democratic campaign consultants and throwing them in a pond.
