Nuclear Advertising
Atrios has a fun example of a possible nuclear attack ad the Dems might have at the ready if Bush continues down the low road using 9/11 fearmongering to sell his floundering presidency.
Here’s one I’d like to see:
George W. Bush: I can’t imagine the great agony of a mom or a dad having to make the decision about which child to pick up first on September the 11th. We cannot hesitate, we cannot yield, we must do everything in our power to bring an enemy to justice before they hurt us again. (from TV ad)
VOICEOVER: Here’s what the families of the victims of 9/11 think about George W. Bush.
WOMAN: My husband was killed in the WTC

SUSIE ELLIOT, Firefighter husband died in the WTC. : George Bush has not been honest about what happened on September 11th.
ALISON FRENCH, Father died in the Pentagon: He is lying about his record.
