Blowin' in the Wind

Have you seen the latest Bush/Cheney TV ad "Windsurfer"? (you can see it at www.georgewbush.com) It shows Kerry windsurfing one direction and then the other to the tune of the "Blue Danube Waltz" as the narrarator describes his many flip-flops on key issues. The tag line: "John Kerry. Whichever way the wind blows." Devastatingly funny.

It must be hitting a nerve. The Dems rushed out their own ad calling it "juvenile" and John Edwards just about broke into tears as he complained to the press that the president was making jokes while Americans were beheaded. Grow up, John! This is big-time politics.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather see a campaign skillfully using humor rather than the relentlessly negative attacks being offered by all the former Clintonistas at the Kerry campaign.

Best of the Web Today has it right:

The Kerry ad is really just another manifestation of the Democrat's narcissism. The message is: Don't you dare make fun of me in time of war! (On the other hand, we're supposed to believe that badmouthing the commander in chief and the war effort is "patriotic" "dissent.")

Surely, though, if we stop mocking John Kerry, the terrorists will have won.
