Ho-ly fuuuuck.
dayuuuum thats cold.
Christmas is gonna be aaaawwwwkward this year.
If my brother ran for public office, I’d have to say the same.
Jeez…even his dog hates him.
Oh fuck yeah, me too.
I’m starting to think there’s not enough people helping in this way.
I was thinking, “Yeah, this is a somewhat effective ad…” then I got to the end. Oh shit. If this guy manages to get re-elected…
those were my exact words.
“Brutal” indeed, in the most etymologically correct sense of the word at that. Nicely non-disappointing, RB.

My uncle ran for President against Obama (in one state on an independent ballot). I’d have voted for McCain and Palin over my uncle.
The wikipedia article on that guy makes it pretty clear that his relatives think he’s a lunatic and overall terrible human being.
It’s almost like, Darth Vader is my brother!
Damn. Worth sticking around for.
But what’s beautiful about this ad is it doesn’t even come close to labeling or name-calling. It’s simply, “Hey, I wouldn’t trust that guy to protect the interests of the least of us. I should know. He’s my brother.”
It’s not too late for Tiffany and Barron to start campaigning for the Democrats during the midterms…
