This made me laugh.
I agree with Allah that it’s hokey but I also agree that they’ll hit the right tone quickly enough. It’s not like they don’t have plenty of material and a year or so to sharpen the humor before the next election.
But I did think it was funny. That bit about Rusty’s Backwater Saloon was very nice.
Next time, if they want to put John Boehner in the commercial, they need to toss out the overused slogans (“neither have the American people”, “runaway spending in Washington”) and loosen him up a bit. He could be very effective in ads like these, but he has to get used to speaking like he’s on the House floor or doing a standup on CNN.
UPDATE: Smitty isn’t such a fan.
