OMG. Look at this ad targeting Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D) in AZ

[liberalla]

I think it's effective and memorable, and I hate that they came up with it!

It's a 60 second ad and I saw it on TV today. Sponsored by "Conservatives for Congress Committee", it's been named http://tnsmi-cmag.blogspot.com/2010/05/cmags-ad-of-week-for-52410.html "> CMAG's Ad of the Week for 5/24/10.


Gabby Giffords as Pelosi's Puppet:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpqfOC-nuf8


Being ever so clever, they outfitted the puppet just like this magazine cover.
The brown western shirt, silver bead necklace, jeans, big silver buckle, etc.

Even the wisp of hair under the "O" in Spouse!

The audio:

Pelosi actor: "Gabby dear, I need your vote on government-run health care."

Giffords actor: "Whatever you say, mama Nancy."

Pelosi: "Gabby honey, you know I'm counting on you for cap and trade."

Giffords: "Whatever you say, mama Nancy."

Pelosi: "Gabby, I want to thank you for all your votes with a free trip for you and your husband to the Copenhagen climate summit."

Giffords, twirling: "How can I say no?"

Announcer: "She can't. And doesn't. Gabby Giffords votes virtually 100 percent of the time the way Nancy Pelosi tells her to. And like that trip, every vote costs you money."

Giffords: "Mama Nancy, some mean people are saying just because my husband's an astronaut, I shouldn't sit on the House space subcommittee and vote on funding for NASA."

Pelosi: "Gabby, Gabby, Gabby. What's a little conflict of interest among friends and family?"

Giffords, blowing kisses: "Thank you, mama Nancy."

Male announcer: "Remember, there are strings attached if you support Gabby Giffords."
