Too hot to handle

The link is up at Drudge, and he reports the following:

The DRUDGE REPORT has obtained an exclusive copy of a “scary” campaign advertisement created by Hollywood producer and director David Zucker that was intended to be used by GOP organizations in the closing weeks of the 2006 campaign.

However, the advertisement was deemed “too hot” by GOP strategists all across Washington, DC who have refused to use it!

In the ad, Zucker, producer of SCARY MOVIE 4, recreates former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s 2000 visit to North Korea. During the visit, Secretary Albright presented North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il with a basketball autographed by former NBA superstar Michael Jordan.

An actress playing Secretary Albright is shown presenting Kim Jong Il with the Michael Jordan basketball, painting the walls of Osama bin Laden’s Afghanistan cave and turning a blind eye to suicide bombers. In one scene her skirt rips as she changes the tire of a Middle Eastern dictator’s limousine.

One GOP strategist said “jaws dropped” when the ad was first viewed. “Nobody could believe Zucker thought any political organization could use this ad. It makes a point, but it’s way over the top.”

Zucker is the producer and director of comedies such as “Airplane” and “The Naked Gun.” In 2004, Zucker, a longtime Democrat, embraced the Republican Party based on concerns he had about national security issues and voted for President George W. Bush.

The vid in question? Check it out:

Heh

Here’s another one, courtesy of Move America Forward:

Can you imagine the outcry if either of those were to be released officially by the RNC? LOL …

Hat tip: Stop the ACLU and Hot Air

Update: Via Matthew Sheffield at Newsbusters:

The video sharing site YouTube, just recently purchased by Google, has once again allowed a band of determined users to censor something they don’t like.

The latest casualty is a a controversial spoof political ad by a Republican filmmaker David Zucker (producer of such films as “Scary Movie 4,” “Airplane,” among others) which depicts former secretary of state Madeline Albright, a Democrat who served in the Clinton administration, acting as a maid, servant and cheerleader for Islamic terrorists and North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. After the Republican party declined to run with it, the ad was sent to Matt Drudge who splashed it worldwide by embedding it in a page on his site.

The story doesn’t end there, though. After Drudge picked it up, Democratic YouTube viewers used the site’s software to “flag” the video as “inappropriate,” a designation usually reserved for extremely violent or sexually explicit video clips. There is nothing even remotely sexual or violent in the clip. The closest thing to an explicit image in the ad is a scene in which “Albright” bends over and her skirt tears a bit in the seat, hardly the stuff that sets FCC commissioners’ hearts aflutter.

While you can still view the video if you watch it embedded on another web site, if you try to watch it on YouTube, you’ll be greeted with the message: “This video may contain content that is inappropriate for some users, as flagged by YouTube’s user community. To view this video, please verify you are 18 or older by logging in or signing up.”

The Clinton apologists must have moved in fast on that one. I had to log in myself when I went to the site to view the vid.

Well I’m married to the US active duty military-and we are still active duty.

Ugh I don’t find the prospect of what is happening in Korea to be all that funny. Military dread being sent remote to Korea-ask any of them.

So I am glad the Republican leadership decided against running this ad. It’s just too silly.

What’s more when the USS Cole was blown up-and Clinton wouldn’t allow us to respond it made us sick to our stomaches.

Scenes from that used in a guffa ad for political gain would not be wise.

Just think if the Republicans had decided to run it-and the stink the Democrats would make of them using that Cole footage.

The Michelle Malkin led brigade that seems all to eager to criticize the party would be calling the RNC stupid, stupid, stupid for running the ad, and we all know it.

My intent wasn’t to bemoan the fact that the RNC isn’t going to run either ad. Just posted it for general consumption.

Thank God the Republicans have the class to not run the ad. But because it is ‘out there’ on the web it sticks to them just as the Moron.org ads using Hitler tainted the democRATs on 04. Not good.

Still that ad is funny…especially when Madeline Halfbright’s skirt splits and that North Korean midget slams the ball. Looked like a SNL skit.

– I’m guessing it’s not really about the ad, it’s about the great world of pretend where Clinton and Aldumb never were involved with NK. With the pesky acts of N. Korea recently, the second leg of the “Clinton legacy” clean-up rivision campaign is now under way.

– Unfortunately McCain took it very personally with the blathering of Hillery and Pelosi and Reid, and really slammed them back today. Don’t think the ploy will work this time.

Two ways of dealing with a dangerous world

This is a pretty fun ad. It was originally produced for Republicans, but strategists in Washington thought it was a over the top.
If they think this is over the top, how are we going to win?

The Zucker ad does make a point that absolutely must be made…too bad it goes over the top invoking humor.

Actually, the second ad was Zucker-like too. Remember the scene in “Airplane” where an old lady is frisked by airport security while terrorists casually carry bazookas to the gate?

Speaking of ads….here is the newest one in the Michigan Gov. race between Granholm (D) and Devos (R) where the ad has Devos picture morphing back and forth with President Bush…

I have to admit, it is a damn good morphing job.

I thought both ads were funny, though obviously way over the top…like parodies of political ads. If dems had an ad showing Bush getting punked by bin laden it would be funny too. Or maybe they could just play that video of donald rumsfeld shaking saddam’s hand, all friendly like.

Are you aware that Clinton left that decision to Bush, and that Bush never acted? Even if you contend that Clinton “didn’t leave a plan” (an assertion which is clearly refuted by a declasified document freely available to the public

where can I find this perfcet answer?

You can complain all you want that Clinton got hoodwinked by NK… it doesn’t change the fact that Bush has done NOTHING regarding NK (except send them money while dropping demands for inspections – gee that sounds like appeasement!). And it doesn’t change the fact that the plutonium used in their bomb was processed from fuel rods that were unlocked in 2002 after a diplomatic spat with washington (y’know, when BUSH was in power).

Bush can’t credibly threaten NK, and he refuses to negotiate with them, so instead he does nothing. real effective.

Maybe they could do an ad showing how donald rumsefeld lobbied for a NK nuclear reactor to be built by ABB, a company on whose board rumsfeld sat.

Aghast makes false claims again by saying, “the fact that Bush has done NOTHING regarding NK”

Nothing is a word that means something. Bush has been (along with his people in his administration) doing as much as they can to get NK’s madman to the table with the parties in the region that have an interest in the matter. Repeatedly trying (behind the scenes even away from Aghasts lying eyes sometimes) is not nothing.

Instead of focusing on who is the problem (Islamofascists and NK’s leader) you liberals have polluted the discourse with so much BDS. We have to laugh at columns like Jimmy Carter’s and defend ourselves from this drivel but you guys continue on attacking the WRONG people. If you spent half your energy attacking Islamofascists and NK’s leader we might vote for Democrat leaders because we would take them more seriously

Same pattern of attack and accuse everyday. Do you ever wake up some days and think I’m going to change my behavior? You might like it.
