Now I’ve Seen It All

Political commercials are stupid at best, but now I’ve seen a real doozy. I just saw a commercial put out by Candidate A smearing Candidate B for running a smear campaign! Ironically, I’ve only seen the smearing commercials of Candidate A in the past couple of weeks, so it would have been less funny coming from Candidate B…

The trustworthy sounding lady narrator sounded so hurt, professionally and personally, when she said that newspapers have accused Candidate B of not playing nice. She pointed out specific words these newspapers had used, words like “unconscionable” and “outrageous.” “We are learning that Candidate B is becoming one of those politicians you can’t trust,” the narrator concluded, laying subtle emphasis on “You Can’t Trust.”

Meanwhile, I laughed out loud from my vantage point in the kitchen.
