Colonel Jessup? Really? The incredibly arrogant and bitterly sarcastic commander who was exposed for -wait for it- covering up abuses at Guantanamo Bay? Do you really want people to associate him with the Clinton campaign? Or the Joker, but really, I live my life by the creed WWBD, so I don’t expect others to react as strongly to that part. ---

How long do you think it will be, before we get someone faking up a video of Bill Clinton telling us all to lay off of Hillary, a la the “Leave Britney Alone” scream from last year? ---

The ad shows a sleeping child and asks voters who they would want to see answering a 3 a.m. emergency phone call to the White House. > > But the young girl starring in the ad will actually be voting age next month and says she’s no fan of Hillary Clinton. > “I’ve been campaigning for Barack Obama for a few months now,” she said. “I was actually a precinct captain at the caucuses a few months ago.
