New anti-Bennet Iran ad parodied almost before launch

[angka]

The original, released this morning:

There was an hilarious spoof out in minutes:

Take that, Daisy!

[certainot]

1. in case anyone forgot, after the original daisy ad, sometimes

considered the most effective ad in political history, there was samantha smith.

samantha was the anti-reagan, became a media star, was 'adopted' by hollywood, and was beginning to turn her generation and a lot of their parents against 'star wars', the mx missile, and trillions in future nuke business.

guys like rove, cheney, rumsfeld, krauthammer remember her. krauthammer even referred to her as a communist dupe.

but she was quickly shocked out of our memories

2. I didn't know about Samantha Smith.

What a bright young girl. What a shame she died so young.

5. fantastic idea

4. it was a wellstonian planecrash

there was a quote from a former kgb guy calling it assassination

[passiveporcupine]

7. I read about the crash and it was not a Wellstonian crash

It was a combination of bad weather, pilot error and control tower error. It's explained very well in wiki.

8. i'm sure that's what wiki said about wellstone too. why did a flying mag

reviewer of the crash jj mac mclellan (sp?), who analyzed plane crashes and did that one immediately after as apposed to some wiki editor from koch industries, say he'd never seen such an erratic flight path- he was very baffled by it and couldn't explain it with weather.

a lot of political assassinations happen by plane.

like with wellstone, weather's a great excuse, especially for people looking for excuses that would assuage their shocked sensibilities --- no ct here....

check out the movie amazing grace and chuck, loosely based on the samantha smith story, with gregory peck.

a lot of people thought it wasn't an accident
