The Bush-Cheney 04 team have unveiled their new
campaign platform, including a series of television,
radio, magazine and newspaper ads, which will focus on
the slogans, "George W. Bush: Compared to John Kerry,
he's a man of the people!" and "George W. Bush:
Compared to John Kerry, he's just like you!"
The ads
will feature still photographs of the president
clearing brush or driving his pickup truck, juxtaposed
with shots of Kerry cavorting on his yacht or dining
out in expensive restaurants in European capitals with
various interns, cronies and, occasionally, his wife.
Also, Bush will be shown stammering and searching for
the right word, while Kerry will be shown smoothly
slipping into French, answering every question with a
memorized speech referring to his Vietnam experience
and deepening his voice several levels as he speaks in
hushed tones about the last bottle of Chateau Margaux
he and Teresa shared.
Also planned are spots featuring
Laura Bush. In one, the contents of which were leaked
to BrokenNewz this morning, a split screen shows the
first lady stirring her husband's breakfast grits and
polishing his cowboy boots as next to her Teresa
Heinz-Kerry is seen yelling at the help for
mismatching her husband's tie for that day with her
pashmina. "The more and more we think about it," said
a Bush-Cheney spokesman, "we're just so grateful
Howard Dean imploded."
