That's the worst ventriloquist act I've ever seen.

The candidate seems very nervous about having his kid on live TV. Maybe he should do the kid and himself a favor, and present his ideas in his own voice. It'll save on therapy in the long run.

That's so weird. Crazy, crazy dad. Check out when the kid rolls his eyes at 2:56, and makes a puppet/mouthpiece hand gesture at 2:59

Maybe they're looking at a monitor showing themselves, so when the dad moves his lips, the son can tell which pre-scripted bit to say?

what a good little American, only 5 years old and already happy to volunteer as cannon fodder.

He probably got the idea from Franco, the Spanish dictator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjkJILtNf…

WHHAAAAAATTTT TTHHHEEEE FUUUUUCCCCKKKKK????

Wow, to both the Hinckley and Franco videos. Maybe Jeff Dunham should run for office if this is appropriate campaign behavior.

Jeeezus this is creepy. "his fellow five-year-olds?????" Who the hell ARE these people. . .

By the way, Hudson, we're pretty sure your dad is gay.

Ugh, that dude just oozes that he's a smarmy grifter. The comparison to the balloon boy stunt seems apt. Thankfully the polling seems to suggest that good people of Rhode Island aren't enamored with him:

He came out the worst of all the challengers to the Democrat incumbent. These polls were a few weeks ago, but I'd be surprised if this appearance helps him.

Gross. That guy looks like the goblin spawn of Dino Rossi and The Joker.

Drives me crazy...I can't see videos posted on the stranger. I'll have to wait for someone to post this on YouTube. Grrr.

I'm guessing that there's a 3rd person, off camera. That 3rd person is typing the responses into a teleprompter. The dad is just moving his lips as he reads.
16
Creepy and awkward all around. It's like toddlers in tiaras but for politics...
17
@15 It seems unlikely that a 5 year old would be reading off of a teleprompter. My guess is they had the questions before the interview and had rehearsed answers to the questions. The dad is just having some sort of Pavlovian "stage mom" response to hearing the questions.

#10 has called it dead on...

His mouthing of his son's words is uber creepy.
19
This right here is why I say that people shouldn't involve children in politics. If this guy seriously thinks his kid is helping his campaign for any other reason than the fact that Dad asked him to, he's insane.
20
Typical liberals, y'all have this exactly backwards. The five year old is controlling the daddy.
21
Honestly, until I saw that interview I thought the ad was funny. Nothing wrong with sending your message with a willing child actor, right?
But...now....uh....

Please wait...
