The closer we get to the primaries, the more it looks like Arlen Specter's switch to the Democratic party is not gonna save him. According to polls, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak has come from a double-digit deficit to pulling ahead. Consensus is that two television ads have helped propel Sestak in front of Specter. The first is an ad Specter ran, attacking Sestak's military career (he was a 2-star Admiral in the navy) and congressional record:
"Joe Sestak, relieved of duty in the Navy for creating a poor command climate," says the ad's narrator. "Joe Sestak, the worst attendance of any Pennsylvania congressman. ... Let's say no to No Show Joe."
We think it was a mistake for Arlen to go so negative when he was up in the polls. We assume he figured he could run that ad and sink the nails in Sestak's coffin. It backfired. Instead, what he did do, was help Sestak out by helping his name recognition. And then, Sestak countered with the ad below, which we have to admit...is pretty damn effective. Arlen has tried to stop the bleeding with an ad that has President Obama supporting him, but we don't think that is gonna work. Arlen...it may be time to start planning that retirement.
I am a bold figure, often seen powerwalking and crushing cans. I have been known to rock a microphone. I translate American Idol for enemy noncombatants. I routinely manage to infurriate DC Metro service personel. I woo women with my impressive name-dropping and my astounding ability at butterbean shelling.
When I'm bored, I take a case of wine over to my friend's house and get introduced to all the Puerto Rican girls who are dying to meet me.
I am a logical negativist who has propounded a set of laws that the world ignores, to its detriment.
I am an expert in Post-Civil War Reconstruction, a veteran of Greenwood Baseball, and an outlaw in Murrell's Inlet.
I once built a perpetual motion machine with Steve Roberts. I make homemade Sprite. I have been and remain on double secret probation.
The Russians call me "Vilnius Nastavic," because I require but one ping. I used to handle black ops for the United States Postal Service. I helped open Dog One and have doctored flight logs for rising 5-star colonels.
I have driven from Texarkana to Atlanta in 28 hours. I had no fatalities during my brief career on the safety patrol.
