Crazy Political People

Fri Apr 27, 2007 at 01:24:53 PM PDT

The old movie Crazy People starred Dudley Moore as an advertising copywriter who decided to write only brutally honest slogans with no euphamisms.  An example of one of his campaigns:  "Metamucil: It Helps You Go to the Toilet."

Suppose politicians, past and present, had their ad writers go insane like this.  What kind of ads would you see?
