Who's providing the ad team with their drugs? They need some better shit....

Wow, that's perfect. The fundies should really enjoy it. So are we to assume that back during the War Between the States on the day little Johnny was born, his mother threw back 27 bottles of scotch?

27 bottles of scotch on the tables at the club for this childs arrival,and i drunk damn near every one of em...and i approve this message.haw,haw,and my mom does too!

On a serious note it does say (without saying) that if she is still alive/active/withit then he isn't that old.
On a lighter note... I want to see all the shit that she said that they cut out. They totally chopped up what she was sayin. Plus anything that makes him look uncomfortable like that and then have him say "I don't pay enough attention to my mom" must be good!

Ok, I revise that last post. I wanna sit with his mom and chat a while. She seems like a firecracker and doesn't seem to like him very much. Saying "The baby" instead of "you" or "he". Even my mom, we haven't gotten along in decades, isn't that distant.
Could you imagine the stories she would tell??? LOL
Posted by: Frogspond | May 09, 2008 at 07:03 AM
Frogspond, I got the same feeling. Especially when he made that "I don't pay enough attention to my mom" remark and she waved him away, saying "no, it's fine" in that tone of voice that said "No, really, I don't want more of your attention."
A boy can always count on his mom, right, John?

Hahahaha! Everything you all said is true! "This child, this child" (just what we need to be reminded of, a 71 year old child as president. Ronnie Reagan, anyone?) and the waving him away without even looking at him—she's dismissive of him, and it shows. It's amazing that they thought this would be endearing. The obvious cuts to salvage what can be construed as positive... that's not gonna fool a generation used to special effects, able to see when the cuts are too cheesy to make the action believable.
And that 50s sitcom music—if I didn't know this was supposed to be serious I'd've thought it was an SNL spoof. But my absolute FAVE is that fake chuckle at the end when he says "My mom does too." Oy!! Somebody quick do a mashup of the crazy statements he's made in the past & lay in that fake chuckle. I guess this'll disappear pretty fast, it's prolly just meant for Mother's Day, but what a delicious object of ridicule it could be.

Beaver Cleaver runs for president. Good grief.

The body language in that ad is enough for a PhD dissertation on "Lifelong Consequences of a Difficult Weaning"

Happy hour at "the club?" 27 bottles of scotch? In 1936? Yeah, sounds like yer typical man of the people to me...
Posted by: Chopper8bq | May 09, 2008 at 09:02 AM
Not to mention, she looks better—healthier—than him!
Posted by: demit | May 09, 2008 at 09:10 AM
She does look fantastic, but does she have vision problems or is she just avoiding eye contact?
As for the music... thank goodness I have an appointment with an ear specialist later this morning!

Oh, you have GOT to be kidding.

How much booze did she drink when she was preggers with "baby". Just what this country needs, another fetal alcohol syndromed screw head president.

Get. The. Fuck. Out.
Wrong on so many levels.
And what IS up with that music?
The club? Where'd they air this ad, Darien?
Posted by: midgetsal | May 09, 2008 at 11:09 AM
and they couldn't match the tenses at the end?
Posted by: midgetsal | May 09, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Come on, that's going to be eaten up by the people who don't read this blog. They'll say: I feel like I could go out and have a drink with the old broad. So what if McC's going to be King Bush III, his momma's nice (and slightly less brittle than Blondie McCain). I mean, that's the way milllions of voters evidently think. If all you've got is image or rhetoric or other forms of advertising, warm and fuzzy will win. Ask Kerry, Gore, Mondale, & Dukakis. Until Democrats throw off the yoke of their corporate masters and go populist, it'll be about bullshit like this. Get ready for President Strangejaw.

I'm sure she's talking about the Officers' Club in Panama (where The Maverick was born). His father was a naval officer. As someone who's spent time in such clubs (air force), I'm not surprised about the gang guzzling 27 bottles of scotch, especially in 1936, when hooch was cheap (and government subsidized) on military bases, and there was nothing much else to do than get stinking drunk every night and try to seduce the other officers' wives.

Everyone needs to chill and look at the end of the ad. It's from the 2006 campaign!!!
