I was listening to the radio (I think it was the Michael Medved show) Friday in the 5pm eastern time hour, and he played an ad from a race where one candidate was making outrageous claims against the other candidate.

In fact, the ad claimed that the opponent actually would EAT the voters children (supposedly making fun of the fact that his opponent was quite portly)!

I am trying to find where this race was, and hopefully find the sound-byte of the ad, but I can’t find anything…

I believe the candidates were (forgive my spelling):

Harold Walkenfuss (or maybe Wockenfuss)

and

Fulton Finkenbiner.

Can anyone help me find this?

I don’t want to say for sure, but given the names you’ve given, is it possible that what you heard was a parody of a political ad?

That’s the only possible thing I can think of… but it sure sounded like it was serious…
