…and holy shit, her first campaign ad is awesome.
I may have to move to New Mexico just so I can vote for her.
It is indeed one of the most awesomely kickass ads I have never seen – and not even limiting that to political ads. Madison Avenue, take note!
That is a first-class kick-ass campaign ad!
OTOH, it is somewhat unsatisfactory as a political ad, as it provides no specifics about her political agenda. What is she actually intending to do for NM or the USA?
I’m guessing but I would say, she intends to kick some ass.
Valerie Plame is one remarkable lady. What was done to her and her husband, Joe Wilson, by the GWB administration for daring to reveal the administration’s lies re Iraq seeking to purchase yellowcake uranium in Niger was dangerous and criminal – as evidenced by Libby’s conviction and Trump’s subsequent pardon of Libby.
I hope she wins. She’ll be a fantastic representative.
I see Jon Ossoff has formally announced he will run for the Georgia US Senate seat currently occupied by David Perdue. That’s wonderful news, too.
Both Plame and Ossoff will be formidable candidates.
That is a good ad. And I respect her service and her fighting with the Bush administration. But, uh, didn’t she retweet some antisemitic crap a couple years ago? Valerie Plame - Wikipedia
I haven’t really followed her all that much since the Scooter Libby era.
That’s a good ad.
WRT the CIA, what the country needs more than anything else is a new round of Church Hearings. Plame, as an ex-CIA, would be optimally suited to lead the way.
I like the ad. She’s a badass.
Valid point, but first she needs to get your attention (yes, she was famous for awhile but that was years ago, while American memory these days can be measured in…minutes?). And fast cars and attractive women (and she is attractive) grab the attention, especially of male voters, while the topics she mentions are of interest to women. Once you have their attention, you can fill in the blanks.
Agreed, if you want to hit the mule with a 2-by-4, this is the way to do it.
IMHO as always. YMMV.
What country are you from? This is the USA. We don’t need no stinkin’ political agendas, we need charisma, catchy slogans, and the ability to call our opponents derogatory nicknames. Being attractive helps too.
She needs to practice her J turns.
It’s a good ad.
I hadn’t heard about this so I followed your link. It would have been helpful to us all if you had quoted the relevant part, rather than leave it up to people to imagine and speculate or to do the work themselves (we’re all working hard to keep our buckets of fried mayonnaise balls from tipping over, eh).
That was two years ago. Unless other incidents have occurred since then, I’m willing to accept her explanation and apology. If new facts come to light, I’ll re-assess. Doesn’t matter much what I think of her tho as I do not live in New Mexico.
Before I give her my support, I need to know her position on chewing gum and ensuring adequate supplies thereof.
Love the ad. Wish she were running for President.
What has she got that Trump hasn’t?
Apart from honesty, service to her country, maturity, charisma, fairness, decency and competence of course…
I suspect she’d be less dismissive of intelligence reports.
The aqueducts?
Remember that she was a CIA operative - honesty, fairness and decency may be optional add-ons, although even this sets her apart from Trump who is incapable of even faking any of those.
