Democrat, Indeed

I was listening to the NPR earlier and they were doing a story on the candidates' Christmas "postcard" ads. I came in late, but when I got there a man and a woman were discussing the Edwards ad. The woman though that it was a bad ad. They quickly moved on to a discussion of the Huckabee ad, which she described as the perfect ad that hit just the right notes, avoiding politics(!) and focusing on the spirit of the season. There was discussion of whether it was really a political ad focusing on Huck's Christianity, but it was agreed that he has already established his Christian credentials, so this ad was just a genuine expression of goodwill during the holiday Christmas season.

They both hated the Hillary ad. The man thought that it was cringe-inducing. He hated it. Apparently, he finds it cold and calculating. Hmmm.

She then went on to express that Hillary and Edwards went for "issue ads" in their Christmas "postcards," which she felt was the wrong way to go about it. Again, in contrast to the Huckabee ad.

They both thought the Giuliani ad was shit, which is something I think we can all agree on.

So, I was driving along pretty pissed because NPR is supposed to be liberal radio, or at least fair, and ascribing pure motives to Huckabee and falling into the storyline that Hillary is a calculating b-tch. But the kicker was that the woman doing the analysis is Anita Dunn, DEMOCRATIC consultant.

No wonder we're fucked.
