The Most Awesome Negative Ad of All Time

Tom Campbell claims that he is a sheep. But I, Carly Fiorina, maintain that he is in fact a wolf! And a pig! And a man wearing a sheep costume! Tom Campbell—I declare thee ManWolfSheepPig! (Thus doing Al Gore’s South Park nemesis one animal better.)

The bonus of this California Senate ad is that is introduces the term FCINO (Fiscal Conservative In Name Only), which actually sounds like a city in California.

    Glee Watch: NYADA, NYADA, NYADA

    Spoilers for the season finale of Glee below:

    One beef I often have with Glee episodes is that they move too fast, go in too many directions, try to cram in too much at once. You might say that about “Goodbye,” the season 3 finale, but in this case that approach seemed about right. It’s an episode about graduation, and graduation is something that, no matter how much you plan for and anticipate it, still goes too fast. Graduating is something you do, but in the moment it feels like something that happens to you, suddenly and all at once, like going over a waterfall.

    Whoever was involved with that was on too many drugs (or not enough).

    Note to Fiorina campaign: cancel the contract with Veridian for advertising buys.

    Seriously, until I was the endorsement at the end, I was 90% convinced it was parody.

    Not to mention I had to cringe at the content: “Faced with a record budget deficit, Tom Campbell raised taxes.” Err, why isn’t that good? Why don’t you just change the campaign slogan to “Carly Fiorina: No relationship with reality.”

    (And this is from someone who usually ends up voting for the Repub side! We need to cut spending and raise taxes if we have any chance of digging out of our deficits.)

    Shhhhhh! Don’t say that or mansheepwolfpig will find you and glare at you with his creepy cylon-esque eyes!

    I can’t wait to see the response ad :

    Carly Fiorina – Taking the fiscal savvy that ran Hewlett Packard into the ground and applying it to our government.

    I don’t know who Tom Campbell is but I don’t like him already.

    Where do you air a 3 minute political ad?

    Actually FCINO sounds like either I’m about to get my credit report or the stronger, expletive version of Hell No.
