Mary Landrieu calls latest attack ad against her sexist
NOLA.com ^

Posted on 11/17/2014 5:07:02 PM PST by TigerClaws

Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu is denouncing an attack ad against her as being sexist because it shows her aging.

The ad, paid for by the Ending Spending Action Fund, suggests Washington has changed Landrieu, 58, over time and uses the age progression to illustrate that change.

Landrieu campaign spokesperson Fabien Levy called the ad "appalling." He said it's an example of Republican challenger Rep. Bill Cassidy and his allies distracting from the issues.

"It is appalling that Congressman Cassidy and his allies would illustrate the senator's age progression with a leading phrase that Washington has 'changed' her," Levy said. "The ad is as classless as it is sexist, and Congressman Cassidy and his allies should remove [it] from television immediately."

Sorry Chubby Checks. That’s not going to play in America anymore. Americans are starting to wake up.

How about going black-face and then claiming racism?

Yeah, you would have been able to spend the last 42 years as a powerful politician in Washington DC if it weren’t for those darn sexists.

Is it as much racist as it is sexist?

After all, with age the issue, if anything, it should be ageist.

Cassidy had nothing to do with that ad, it was put on by a PAC that is not allowed to coordinate with the candidate.

Must be an effective ad—it hit a nerve.

That’s why they want it removed.

Fabien sounds like it should be the name of Obama's Pajama Boy...

I just noticed you said Checks, but I read Cheeks. Checks also works.

No more Chubby Checks for Mary.
