In Which NTodd Says His Peace
Bush's TV Ads
Just got an e-mail from my best bud, Bush Campaign Manager Ken Mehlman. He gave me a super secret link to preview Bush's first TV ads: Lead; Tested; Stronger, Safer. Apparently other ads are in the works as well: Lied; Failed; In Denial.

[Update: Josh over at TPM sums the ads up thus:
If you look at the TV ads the president just unveiled today, you quickly see a main -- probably the main -- theme of his reelection campaign: it's not my fault.
Yup, that's about the size of it. (via CalPundit)]
['nother update: Kos points out another Bush lie:
CLAIM:
"I can't believe he said that. They are playing politics with a national tragedy."

FACT:
"President Bush's re-election team unveiled his first campaign advertisements on Wednesday and they in part use the events of Sept. 11, 2001...Two ads refer to the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001...One ad, entitled 'Tested,' shows, among other images, a damaged building from the World Trade Center ruins."
- Reuters, 3/3/04
I was amazed that Gore couldn't beat this guy, but of course nobody really knew about Bush's dismal record in Texas. I can't imagine a universe in which Kerry can't beat this guy now that the entire country has been on the receiving end of Bush's record, hypocrisy and lies.]
