Co-opting Christopher Guest...and not in a good way

So most everyone who knows me knows I'm supporting Barack Obama in this election cycle. For my Republican friend readers I can't go into all the reasons here, but this article expresses alot of my thoughts. (it's much easier to link than to come up with my own dissertation on the state of the Republican party right now.)

BUT, the reason for this post is this new ad out from the Clinton campaign, so I was trying to let you know where I stand to be fair. Regardless of where I stand though, this video is just so...bad. I honestly thought until the last 10 seconds that it was a mockumentary style ad, a la Christopher Guest. But no! Someone thought this would "go over well with the youngsters"(my quote). Talk about not having your finger on the pulse...Enjoy...or not!
