'SCARY MOVIE' PRODUCER MAKES CAMPAIGN AD; MOCKS DEMOCRATS Tue Oct 10 2006 15:13:16 ET

**Exclusive**

The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a "scary" campaign advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks of the 2006 campaign.

However, the advertisement was deemed "too hot" by GOP strategists all across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!

[VIDEO LINK]

In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's 2000 visit to North Korea. During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael Jordan.

An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin Laden's Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern dictator's limousine.

One GOP strategist said "jaws dropped" when the ad was first viewed. "Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could use this ad. It makes a point, but it's way over the top."

Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as "Airplane" and "The Naked Gun." In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues and voted for President George W. Bush.

This video earlier today, on YouTube, had 10 'honors', including most viewed, most discussed, etc. It also showed up near the top in all of these catagories. Then, about 4:00pm CDT all of that was erased. Hmmmmmm, censorship it is then.

Wow - - - you know what? With over 122,000 views, this should now be the 5th most viewed video on YouTube today - - - and yet they don't even have it on the list of most viewed!!! You are absolutely right about censorship!!! Holy crap!!!

I TOTALLY agree; this ad needs to be used by the Republican party NOW!

It would be a 'slam dunk' to use this ad to refocus attention off the Foley feeding frenzy and back on the real issues in the election as well as America's future.

This is the type of ad that people will TALK about at work and with their friends. Kind of like the super bowl commercials.

As you said, the Republicans need to grow a pair and use it!

Ronald Reagan used political satire and humorous ridicule masterfully (with the Soviet Union, liberals, democrats, etc).

If the Republicans can't even respond and defend themselves with humor like this--then they deserve the fate that they will likely face next month.

P.S. I agree. It's especially a GREAT WAY to take the focus off of this ridiculous Foley crap.

Maybe we need to Freep that site on YouTube, then.

The more 'hits' on that site, the better.

Okay, now the number bounced back to 122,051 - - - but it seems stuck!!! It is so freakin' amazing how "tolerant" libs automatically respond to opposing views with lame attempts at censorship and deception! Let's make this the most watched YouTube of all time and see how much fun the YouTube moonbats have with us!!!

I think the idea to commission a series of these and simply release them on the internet is an excellent idea. Low cost, quick penetration, and no unnecessary commentary unless someone is looking for additional commentary.

This would bypass the MSM filtering, and it would also demonstrate just how much their influence has waned over the years. On the flip side - because they would have impact - at least Fox News would pick it up as a story if not some of the other networks. Bingo - lots of chit-chat for not a lot of money. I would imagine this would nearly bury the Foley nonsense.

As for the GOP not having the stones to run this - I don't know about a lot of you, but I've been a Republican since I could understand what that meant; but I've only voted and never really participated in party politics or activist activities. But, lately, the GOP's maneuvers (or lack thereof), and perhaps growing older, have made me not want to sit around while the GOP tries to figure out how it should conduct itself. There's no forward thinking - no guts - it all seems reactionary these days.

This ad could be a turning point - and why it's being shelved is beyond me. Of course, we're seeing it none-the-less, so obviously someone somewhere is THINKING - but who? Whomever it is they deserve a cigar and perhaps a seat on the steering committee or whatever group decides strategy.

Great video.

It seems that someone has tried to make it difficult to watch by marking it "inappropriate" and making people sign up. I ended up forwarding it to my friends with the drudge link, so they could by-pass the sign up process.

I'm still trying to figure out what is so inappropriate about it.

It is inappropriate to democrats because it is BASED IN FACT! Anything that tells the truth about the Clinton Legacy is ALWAYS inappropriate.

There's another thread discussing that. I think I could ping that to you, perhaps, maybe, but I'm new here and don't quite understand the entire "ping" concept yet.

If you just seach "scary" from the FR homepage you'll find it.

Why can't I find this ad on YouTube.com's "most watches" pages or even by searching for it?

That's what I'm sayin' . . . based on 122,051 views, it should be #5 or #6 most viewed today and they have CENSORED it from the list at YouTube!!!
