Coleman's Neiman Marcus suits get TV debut

Filed under: Norm Coleman

Coleman%20visit%20004.JPG

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released a new TV spot against Sen. Norm Coleman that makes a brief mention of his "suitgate" controversy last week. We are wondering how many regular TV viewers will actually get it since it was such a blog-run controversy.

Watch the ad after the jump.

The "Priceless" ads, mocking the well-known Mastercard commercials, aren't witty or funny anymore. Luckily for the DSCC, Ralph Nader took on the first battle against Mastercard when they sued his campaign for ripping off their copyrighted ad theme. Nader won the case, which allowed terribly uncreative rip-offs to continue. Thanks Nader!

"Thanks Nader!"

We've all got worse things to 'thank' Nader for -- like the past 8 years:
nearly 3,000 dead American soldiers, changing a budget surplus into the largest deficit in history, driving our economy to the brink of a 2nd Great Depression, etc.

I supported him, and his Nader's Raiders, and MPIRG and similar groups -- but that was 30 years ago, when he had more brains and less egotism!
