This Ought to Be Fun

Here's a new ad coming out from the Club for Growth, a pro-Bush 527 group. It's produced by the same guy who did the movie "Airplane", a hilarious sendup on airline disaster movies (hat tip Opinion Journal):

Leslie Nielsen Would Make an Excellent 'John Kerry'

David Zucker has been a successful Hollywood producer for years, churning out popular comedy hits like the "Airplane" series and "Scary Movie." But now he has decided to enter the political arena with an ad lampooning John Kerry. Mr. Zucker still has many liberal sensibilities but says 9/11 convinced him President Bush's strong leadership is essential in the war on terror.

His ad is called "Indecision" and highlights how dangerous that quality can be in a president. A groom at a wedding is seen kissing a bridesmaid instead of a bride. "If you never commit to what you believe in, who will ever believe you?" the ad asks. The groom then drops the bridesmaid and kisses an old lady who is playing the organ. "John Kerry has changed his mind time and time again," the announcer says. "If you thought you could trust John Kerry, you may want to change your mind, too."

The Clubforgrowth.net, a new 527 group that aims to inject humor into the dreary world of political TV ads, says the ad will run nationwide on cable TV stations as well as on network affiliates in the swing states of Ohio and Wisconsin. Club for Growth President Steve Moore jokes that he wouldn't be surprised if Senator Kerry's campaign hasn't decided yet on whether or not to respond to the ad.
