I hope this hasn't been boring for you. It's just that whenever I talk about Elaine, I get so carried away, I lose all track of time.

'Airplane' Director David Zucker Lampoons Kerry's Waffling with New Ad; Noted Filmmaker Injects Humor into Issues Debate
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Club for Growth.Net, one of the nation's leading political advocacy organizations, today unveiled a new national television ad, which ridicules John Kerry's indecisiveness on many policy issues.
"John Kerry's indecisiveness and flip-flopping are no laughing matter-that is until we teamed up with Hollywood hit maker David Zucker," said Club for Growth.Net president Stephen Moore. "David, whose credits include the blockbuster comedies "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun," has found a way to work his movie magic to create the funniest and most devastating ad this year. This ad cuts right to the chase and shows that there are consequences for not being able to make up one's mind."
"I was really a liberal Democrat until 9/11," said Zucker. "There is no question in my mind that President Bush is doing a great job fighting the war on terror. We can't trust Kerry to do that. I wanted to do something, but since no one was asking me to make policy speeches I made this ad."
There's nothing wrong with making a decision and then changing your mind," the announcer says. "But if you never commit to what you believe in, who will ever commit to you? Onscreen a groom at his wedding bypasses his bride to romantically kiss the maid of honor.
John Kerry has changed his mind on all these important issues. Onscreen John Kerry's arms go up and down while the issues on which John Kerry has been indecisive appear including: Iraq, the Patriot Act, and $87 million for U.S. troops in Iraq.
"Now there's nothing wrong with a little indecision as long as your job doesn't involve any responsibility," the announcer continues. Onscreen a bomb squad member can't decide which wire to cut to defuse the bomb. He then runs away and other squad members follow him as the bomb explodes.
"John Kerry has changed his mind time and time again. If you thought you could trust John Kerry, you may want to change your mind."
The television ad, paid for by Club for Growth.Net, will begin running later in the week nationwide on cable news channels. The ad was written and directed by David Zucker. All of the actors in the ad donated their time.
Or, better yet..."I picked a fine day to give up sniffing glue."
Or my all time favorite...the "win one for the Zipper" speech.
You gotta see this ad - truly hilarious!
Really...I never noticed that.
Just rented it a month ago to watch with our 14 y.o. daughter...she loved the "don't call me shirley" lines.
LOL! It is definately a keeper!!!! ;)
Are you nervous? ;)
Yes, I know, things used to be different. I remember when we first met. It was during the war. I was in the Air Force stationed in Drambuie, off the Barbary coast. I used to hang out at the Magumba Bar. It was a rough place, the seediest dive on the wharf - populated with every reject and cut-throat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit. The mood in the place was downright ugly. You wouldn't walk in there unless you knew how to use your fists. You could count on a fight breaking out almost every night. I didn't go there that night to fall in love; I just dropped in for a couple of drinks. But suddenly there she was. I was captivated, entranced. It hit me like a thunderbolt. I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I was afraid to approach her, but that night fate was on my side. We laughed, we talked, we danced I never wanted it to end. I guess I still don't. But enough about me, I hope this hasn't been boring for you. It's just that whenever I talk about Elaine, I get so carried away, I lose all track of time.
From all the hype, I expected better, imho.
I'm probably just too up to date on Kerry's record. That is, I'm not the target audience.
Rush Limbaugh had a rant today, itemizing Kerry's statements about the US sovereignty that was far more effective for me.
Watch again, you must have missed it. Or at least missed something.
I hope this hasn't been boring for you. It's just that whenever I talk about Elaine, I get so carried away, I lose all track of time.
Thanks for the link.
Great ad!
ROTFLMAO
