Thanks again, Bob

I suppose it was too much to ask, that we’d get well into spring before the political ads bloom all over the teevee.  One of the usual Republican suspects fine GOP candidates for the United States Senate here has been running an ad featuring kids saying “Thanks, Bob!” for his support of charter schools when he was in the state legislature.  Or some “independent” and “unrelated” organization has been running them for him. After spending $470,000 to make the ad.

Whatever.

Here’s the response, by ProgressNow.  They say their production costs just amounted to ”a bottle of Scotch and a few cheap cigars.” 

The original ad is also on YouTube but I’m not promoting that guy so you can find it for yourself.
