Battle of the 30 second spot...
Written by: Beck
John Kerry's campaign staff seems to have had a brilliant revelation--it doesn't matter what the "truth"
actually is, all that matters is what you
tell people the truth is. As such, Bush can have an ad in which he states that Kerry wants to raise taxes by $900 billion--a statement of fact which is provably true or false, and Kerry responds with an ad saying, "We're going to give every single man, woman, and child in America a check for $900 billion, and in one stroke, we will eradicate all poverty."
OK, so he didn't exactly say that, but they've realized that spin is neither sufficient nor necessary. Spin has been replaced by a new marketing method known, to those who like to know the technical terminology, as, "lying through your teeth." The nineties taught us one key thing about marketing and lies. Stick to your lie. O.J. did. Clinton didn't. Clinton wound up telling the entire world, on prime-time TV, that he porked a pudgy intern. O.J., on the other hand, got away with double homicide. Kerry evidently has learned this lesson well.
For those who want to read something a little more detail heavy and a little less sarcasm heavy, an
article from you over at that bastion of unbiased reporting, CNN.
