John Spencer Lose-Explosion
His Senate candidacy is becoming the one to watch — if you love watching cookie-cutter wingnuts make fools of themselves.
Spencer is being coached by Karl Rove, and he doesn’t just uphold the GOP party line; he capers and prances for every Trojan-horse policy point and inane spin-item that emits from Cylon Central Command.
From WCBS TV, New York:
Unlike Clinton’s former adversary, Jeannine Pirro, Spencer openly criticized his opponent. “I think she’s very angry and it’s a shame that her and some of her liberal Democratic colleagues in the senate seem to have so much…hatred toward the administration,� he said.
Yes, the Hillary-is-angry meme has really started to take off since that camera caught her making a pruny-face at the State of the Union speech. It’s almost as though a blast-fax went out from the RNC.
Meanwhile, let’s look at Spencer’s TV ad. Grrr — a terrorist!
“Grrr!” “Eek!”
Isn’t that Iyman Faris? The crazy guy with the non-starter notion of destroying the Brooklyn Bridge with a blowtorch? The one who abandoned the ‘plot,’ and who was later identified not through wiretaps, but through information given by Khalid Sheikh Mohammad? Yeah, the blowtorch guy.
Actually, it’s impossble to do justice to this ad. Here it is, so that you can be astonished for yourself. Watch as the zany, abortive blowtorch plot becomes an imminent threat to America, stopped only by NSA wiretaps. Gasp as Hillary Clinton tries to render America helpless! How many lies does the ad contain? That’s philosophical — you can either count them as discrete units as they race by, or you can say that the ad represents a single, multifarious, extended lie of 30 seconds duration, right up to the stunning conclusion. (If the YouTube thing isn’t showing up properly, use this link.)
Yowza.
On Spencer’s agenda: cutting taxes, job growth, economic development and being tough on terror.
“I think the basic difference is Hillary Clinton is an ultra-liberal and I’m a moderate, Republican conservative,� Spencer said.
Actually, the basic difference is that Hillary Clinton is a flawed, but sane moderate-liberal, and Spencer is a whooping clown shoe promising the best entertainment value of the ’06 elections. Let’s hope for a Spencer media blitz in the coming months.
Love the pun in the title. Also:
It’s almost as though a blast-fax went out from the RNC.
I wish I could get on that damn fax list…
Hey, and the YouTube link ain’t workin’. It’s saying it’s a “private video” or somethin’.
I’m stating the obvious, but this is just an out-of-town tryout for the ’08 GOP presidential campaign — whoever the Democratic nominee is. Rove just wants to see what attacks the media will let slide (my guess: pretty much everything).
The vid should work in a few minutes…

Yeah, that makes it more interesting! Spencer doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning New York with a campaign like this, so it’s worth watching to see what crazy stuff he pulls.
Yeah, but….but, the scare-quotey music! {shakes with fear}
I love how “I won’t play politics with our national security” is the THEME OF HIS POLITICAL ATTACK ADS.
Great title. If I can borrow Amanda’s insufferable music snob persona, though, I believe it’s spelled “Jon” and not “John.”
Yes, I am that guy.
At least it’s not Jon’.
The candidate is ‘John Spencer,’ while the guy from the Blues Explosion is named ‘Spencer Ackerman’…

Exactly. What’s he gonna do, lose in a bigger landslide? There’s no reason for him not to throw long.
In 2002, the Shredder was trying to pull the Technodrome out of Dimension X. The plan was coordinated with help by Krang and only NSA wiretaps led the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to capture the Shredder and stop the attack. But Hillary Clinton opposes NSA wiretaps…

And marvel.
This is too good to spoil.
“…he capers and prances for every Trojan-horse policy point and inane spin-item that emits from Cylon Central Command.”
OOOOOH!!! I’m telling Jonah Goldberg.
Don’t you kooky moonbats know that Cylons are a stand in for liberals, islamofascists, and illegal messicans?
