Video: The freaky deaky Carly Fiorina “sheep” attack ad

posted at 6:43 pm on February 3, 2010 by Allahpundit

You want to put a guy in a sheep costume with red robot eyes and have him crawl around a pasture for awhile? Sure, I’ll link it.

I get the “wolf in sheep’s clothing” metaphor, but Time’s right that there’s quite a bit of mockery of fiscal conservatives at the beginning too. Which is … odd in this political climate, even in California. Everyone likes to believe they’re fiscally conservative just as everyone likes to believe they have a sense of humor, whether it’s true or not. Is goofing on that the way to go, especially in a state that’s now extremely budget-conscious? Or is the point simply that there are no true “pure” fiscal conservatives? In which case, why am I supposed to much care about Tom Campbell’s own deviations from purity?

Geraghty thinks it’s genius, but I came away from it wondering more what Fiorina was thinking than what Campbell was thinking. Not good.

Update: Like I said, everyone — and I do mean everyone — thinks they’re fiscally conservative.

Why does everyone get in an uproar if men act like men and give women compliments, just not in a rosy sensitive way.

Kamala Harris probably is the best looking Attorney General California has had since Jerry Brown. Obama was merely struggling to find more substantive qualifications for her, so it’s an understandable comment.

We should go easy on Democrats. They seem to have attracted visually shocking figures such as Barney “the Blob” Frank, Henry “Nostrils” Waxman, John “Mr Ed” Kerry, Snake-eyes Carville, Her Thighness Hillary, “Stretch” Pelosi, Debbie Was-a-man Schultz and, who can forget, the harrowing visage of Rachel Maddow (I know I can’t).

We can take the stupidity, the incompetence, the deceit, the low-rent attitudes but Democrats, please address the aesthetics (it’s OK to leave the feminists for phase two, we don’t expect miracles) -

Is personal ugliness is a primary qualification for liberal party favor?

B.O. is a lecher. What’s he going to say next “Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the hottest chick on the Supreme Court, and I like her boobies”?

Michelle wanted to give B.O. a bunch of crap for that comment, but she knows he’ll just smack her, and tell her to STFU.
