Are you always such an ass?
Yesterday's sniper attack in Manassas, VA keeps the sniper front and center again — and it's seeping into Maryland's hotter races.
"One day after vowing to avoid the gun issue as long as a serial sniper is on the prowl," Democratic gubernatorial nominee Kathleen Kennedy Townsend "abruptly shifted gears and yesterday shipped a new ad to Washington TV stations that bashes her GOP opponent in the Maryland governor's race for voting against a ban on 'assault weapons.'"
"In the 30-second ad, which is scheduled to begin airing today, the camera pans over an array of militaristic-looking rifles, then cuts to a man pulling a handgun out of his front pocket. A male announcer tells viewers that Republican Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. 'voted against banning assault weapons and cheap handguns' and earned an F grade from the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence."
The Ehrlich campaign accused Townsend of trying to make political hay out of people's fears about the sniper. The Townsend campaign seems to have been prompted to launch the spot after moderate GOP Rep. Connie Morella of Montgomery County went up with a radio ad featuring a complimentary Sarah Brady.
I hope she loses bigtime due to this!!!
