Bush Campaign Expands Advertising Team
It's funny how journalists describe events as "quietly" taking place, implying that somehow they discovered the story through dogged investigation instead of being handed a strings-attached leak from the Bush campaign. Anyway, among the all-star cast of recent Bush campaign media hires, we have:
Scott Howell, whose Dallas-based company last year created ads for victorious GOP Senate candidates Jim Talent of Missouri, Norm Coleman of Minnesota and Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.
Shouldn't this be an issue? They call us angry and hateful; what's more hateful and deceiving than slandering the patriotism of a decorated veteran?
It's interesting how right-wing blogs claim that the ad never compared Cleland to bin Laden. Sure, that's technically true, but superimposing Cleland's image over bin Laden's sure wasn't a way of saying the guy was an American patriot.
