Bush Filming Biographical Ads in Texas

[VolcanoJen]

Oh, the irony... a Dubya Bio Ad!!

The last four years of his "bio" ought to be interesting, but since they likely won't be included, I'm especially looking forward to the Yale Cheerleader photos, set to rousing music, and the Arbusto CEO montage, and that tearful moment when he made the gut-wrenching decision, as owner of the Texas Rangers, to trade Sammy Sosa, and...

Excerpt:

After months of running mostly attack ads against Democrat John Kerry, President Bush's campaign soon will run biographical commercials - but the campaign won't say how soon.

The incumbent Republican will tape his first biographical ads of the election Wednesday, using his 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford, Texas, as a backdrop, aides said. However, they wouldn't say when the commercials will hit the airwaves.

Bush pulled down all of his TV ads last week, with aides recognizing the spots would likely have little, if any, effect during the Democratic National Convention, which is producing floods of news coverage about Kerry.

However, Bush is slated to go back on the air - at least on cable channels - starting Aug. 6. His campaign has bought at least $2 million worth of airtime to continue running ads next month on national cable networks, including CNN, ESPN and the History Channel. It's about the same amount as what he has spent on cable each month since he first went on the air in March.

Historically, presidential candidates - even incumbents - open their advertising campaigns with commercials meant to tell voters who they are and what they stand for. But Bush's first ads focused on leadership, as well as the country's economic and national security challenges. A week later, he launched the first of many attack ads against Kerry.

4. Biographical? On the fake "ranch?"

The farm was purchased in 2000 for the sole purpose of creating an image for the campaign. It's is, quite literally, nothing more than a set.

But I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that, like everything else associated with Bush, these commercials will also be fake -- fabrications, lies, misleading statements. Andy Card knows all about how this is done because they sell cars the same way.

17. A "ranch" has to have horses;

Shrub is afraid of horses.

You're correct, sally, it is a FARM!

10. Hope they film the downtown he grew up in..

.. where blacks were not allowed downtown on Sundays. Or perhaps they'll interview his hired help... he didn't live like a cowboy.. he was a priveleged brat. I have nothing against being rich.. but I DO have a problem with pretending he's so down home!

Gotta go! Howard Dean is coming up!!

[Dudley_DUright]

11. Or the flying jets in the TANG

"for the next several years" (according to the Karen Hughes ghosted bio).

[Old and In the Way]

13. A fake bio, for a fake pResident.

Hey, with proper media marketing, maybe some people will believe Dimson was a POW in 70s....

[blm]

14. He's admitting he went AWOL from the National Guard?

Will his bio explain the four years of WH coverup of his AWOL record?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

15. Using his 1,600-acre fake ass pig farm in Crawford, Texas...

...as a backdrop for his fake ass bee-yatch Connecticut cheerleading AWOL POS "bio." TIVO, here I come!

16. "Born into a life of unimaginable privilege ...

George W. Bush has coasted through life, carefully groomed for a life dedicated to one goal — advancing the political and financial interests of his powerful family. Vote George W. Bush for President, because power and wealth should be inherited."

21. I just got through blasting someone about him not being a cowboy.

I was on another board and they linked to a site promoting DimSon along with other cowboys. I said that was an insult to real cowboys who work real ranches. Shrub only drives a truck and wears the cowboy clothes, and clearing brush earns him the title of "gardener", not cowboy.

But the sheeple will fall for it anyway.

23. A WHAT?!?!

What the Hell is a sitting pResident doing shooting a BIOGRAPHY of himself after four friggin' years in OFFICE?! They must REALLY think this country is full of idiots ... or they truly, TRULY had diddley-squat to counter the Democrats.

Either way, it's a very BAD sign that they even think they have to do that.

(Hooray for our side!)

24. He started by blowing up frogs...

teaching him that the poor and helpless deserve to be mocked, tortured and eventually killed in a painful way. In this manner, the modern philosophy of the Republican Party was born.

(Of course, the bio film would have to use fake frogs so that real animals were not hurt. I'm sure Karl Rove would do just fine)
