An Honest Political Ad
Gil Fulbright, fake candidate for the U.S. Senate, offers a refreshingly honest political ad.
“Hi, I’m Gil Fulbright. The people who run my campaign, they’ve made this commercial — and I’m in it. This campaign — it’s not about me, it’s about crafting a version of me that will appeal to you. A version that visits random worksites with paid actors pointing at things. A version of me that doesn’t find old people loathsome or pointless. A version that has a conventionally attractive yet curiously still family.”

Daily Show Skewers Chris Christie
Not surprisingly, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) led off the Daily Show last night.
Jon Stewart: “As a guy who grew up in New Jersey, I’m disappointed, ashamed of the state I grew up in. Political payback through traffic congestion? To see New Jersey sink to such a piss-poor, third-rate quality of corruption….This is New Jersey! A state renowned for its piss-rich, first-rate corruption.”

Chris Christie Searches for His Fleece
The Week: “In a short, seven-minute video, Christie manages to make fun of his own political aspirations, adoration of Bruce Springsteen, lovefest with MSNBC’s Morning Joe, and the idea that the suit makes the man — and he does it with the help of Alec Baldwin, James Carville, Jon Bon Jovi, Saturday Night Live’s Bobby Moynihan, celebrities not generally associated with Republican politics. The premise of the skit is that Christie’s enviable popularity is intimately tied to the fleece he wore in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.”
McConnell Responds to Obama Joke
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) responded to a joke President Obama told about not wanting to get a drink with the Republican leader, the Washington Post reports.
Said McConnell: “I’m shocked. He’s obviously not seeing my soft side.”
