I like clever. This one is clever. Unless you are one of the 39% of likely voters who still plan to vote for McCain, that is...
Yeah...39%!

Ah how I miss the attitude
Ah how I miss the attitude of Blue state yehudis. Not that you don't get a ton of it on TV, but Silverman somehow conveys the tude of so many people I know, none of whom live here, and if they did probably wouldn't have the balls to say this stuff.

Finally!
Somebody finally ran the lemming ad. It's about time.
How about this one...
(For Kansas Senate)
That is one of the funniest,
That is one of the funniest, edge-iest ads I've ever seen!
The hosing is right out of a Dave Chappelle skit.
Can't believe Slatterly approved it.

An oldie, but a goodie
This is an old one that I remember from, I'd guess, the late Seventies or early Eighties. Its actually for the Republicans, but that doesn't mean its not funny.
A young man is standing before his father, getting lectured.
"Son, you're completely irresponsible. You show no maturity. You spend money like its going out of style. What are you going to do with yourself?"
"Run as a Democrat for the United States House of Representatives."
"Good choice."
And you know, I was thinking... substitute Republican for Democrat, and that's probably pretty close to a scene in Oliver Stone's W.
On a more serious note
You might've seen this one floating around the intertubes.
(Congressman Tom Udall of NM running for US Senate)
The veteran moving his lips
The veteran moving his lips to say "thank you" and "I'm humbled to approve this message" really make it work.
This is your brain
I like this one better, also from MoveOn's Obama in 30 Seconds competition:
This guy was inexperienced, too
One more from MoveOn's contest, that uses an argument I've made to rebut "Obama has no experience"
