5. Visually great...
but I am really getting concerned about the DNC ads -- because their sound (which is what most people get, because they are not in front of the TV all the time) many times has Bush saying great things with the objections coming visually.

While this may be very powerful when people actually watch it, for those who only listen, the ads seem to favor Bush many times (not this one in that sense, but they could have audio-ed the "what's so funny Mr. pResident?" for maximum effect).

I am wondering if they are sacrificing sophistication for punch.

17. Only if the new Shrimp Boat ads
are seen 50,000 times. Have to maintain the 10:1 fairness ratio.

12. Great ad- that wasn't the only time he did that sick laughing either
Hope this gets some media attention. Certainly many of the over 50 million viewers were paying enough attention to catch Bush's inanely inappropriate responses.

26. Nice ending...
They should also show some of his laughs when Kerry was directing serious points to him. I noticed at least two.

28. he was laughing a lot during the debate or standing there with that goofy.
grin, and I think if anyone in his group knew that specific question in advance, they would not have suggested that he try to make a joke out of it.

27. Schieffer asked him what was responsible for 45 million people..
not having healthcare: "the doctors, the insurance companies, the malpractice lawyers, the administration?" Cut to * laughing and saying "gosh, I sure hope it's not the administration". The ad then trails off with the pictures of him laughing and the sound of him laughing. Then text comes up saying "What's so funny, Mr. President".

Beyond the issue itself, he looks like a lunatic in the clip.

18. Let's all say "It's over the top!!" "It's crazy" The media will play it.

From ABC: "Do you think this is over the top?" (Plays video) "Many on the internet do, let's see it again...."

Personally I think the DNC has gone way too far. Let's have a national discussion about this ad :)

21. He's on something! I didn't watch
him that much in the debates..I was nauseous so I had to turn it off..

But, watching him now..all that blinking, cackling, and stupid joke..and Kerry just stands there like a real person calmly waiting his turn.

I thought I read they were suppose to use any of the debates in ads.

I'm glad they can.

22. That's awful!
I guess that's what Republicans have reduced politics to. The DNC is doing what has to be done to respond to lies and distortions. They're fighting fire with fire.

I'm so happy they are using that friggin' laugh against him! That's all he did last night. He laughed about issues that mean so much to average Joe. It pissed me off. I'm glad it's going to bite him in the ass!
