Darcy Burner ran against the ex Sheriff, now congressman, Dave Reichert. Thomas H. Jefferson, a dear friend of SeattleJew, has recently reviewed a political video made by Ms. Burner. Ms. Burner is a fave of the Drinking liberal crowd and an aspiring carear politician. Given the good folks supporting her, SeattleJew contributed a lot of dollars to her first campaign and she ran almost won in 06.
Goldy and other are enthusiastic about the ad but Tom Jefferson* , feels differently:
The commercial may be effective marketing, but what does such professionalism prove? You like GW Bush? Rove is one of the most successful hawkers of political cheese cake since Hugh Heffner. So GW is a good choice?
Yeh the commercial is a slick ad that paints The Sheriff as a Bushie-Whoopie. And Darcy Darcy ,,, hmm she comes across as a stay at home Mom with the time on her hands needed to support her little 'un AND run for Congress.
Remembering the slurs against my gran gran Dad, I cringe at this sort of negative campaigning. Ol Tom may have been an idealist and a hypocrite but he did not return the Federalist invective in kind. Rather , the red haired one let us all know of his dreams for the future. Of course he was a hypocrite but who is not? Tom also carefully courted an image as being a virile young man .. as contrasted to his dour rival from Quincy.
May I suggest there is danger in Darcy's approach? How does Darcy support herself and the young 'un? Ms Burner was not all that high up in Microsoft, so I don't think she made the big bucks needed to retire at a tender youngish age.
An ad that defines Darcy totally as not being Reichert ... may not be good in a District where he remains popular ... without giving us any reason to respect her other than seeing a clatch of paid groupies who came to her door sounding "Darcy Darcy" rather like the zombie crowds in a grade C horror flick.
Anybody looking at this may also want to look at at the Obama Girl video posted in the next entry in this blog. I wonder if the Obama shtick is what Darcy should do? Inject a little humor into the race. How about this scenario ....
Two geeks on a Bellevue Street. We know this is Bellevue because the cars passing are Lexus, Mercedes and an occasional Lotus. Across the street, an office building flies an American flag and a banner for Vista.
The geeks watch a Ferrari (driven by a white haired guy accompanied by a Marilyn like young thing) park a bit down the street. They look with with obvious desire at the car but ignore White Hair and blondy as the Ferrari pair exit, his hand on her ass, on a red carpet into a political reception with Bush Chaney signs.
The Geeks (an Asian and a Teutonic looking fellow) gather round the car, and steal caresses off of its sleek red body.
The the Geeks hear a voice, talking reason across the street. They look up .. its this shortish, thirtyish lady, walking a ten year old boy down the street, teaching as they walks. They turn and follow her. Listening as she looks in a store window and explains to her rapt young tow head the ways software makes jobs and why educating oneself is so important. At each store window she gives a short new lesson, Others join the original duo, following along as in one of those Verizon ads. We hear a ringtone, "Happy Days are Here Again." She reaches into her puree and pulls out an iPhone. We hear a voice that sound like, could it be Bill Gates?
"Darcy, are you there? I need your help!" Darcy answers,
"How can I help, Bill" Crowd behind is quiet, waves a few Darcy signs and smiles as the voice over says ...
"Darcy Burner, What can She do for you?"
* Mr. Jefferson claims to be a direct, if spiritual, descendent of the Red Haired One and Ms. Hemings.
